We all need to show more respect to Native Americans. I think its sad how many people on this thread, that have NO Native American heritage, has an opinion about how offensive names. are. Do you understand just how bad this thread sounds to Native Americans? Show some respect!!!

Well the Beleayre Gondola has been spinning for a bit. Just wanted to say I have not meant one person on the Gondola that now thinks it was a bad idea. Everyone seems to love the Gondola. A few people said, they initially thought it was a bad idea. But now they love it.

Its simple. I started skiing in the 1960s. I have skied a number of areas on the Lost Ski Area Project. I do not want Plattekill added to this list. It wouldn’t hurt me and others to ski Plattekill one or two days this year. It’s been 2 years since I skied Plattekill. If the Catskills get...

Make a commitment to ski Plattekill Mountain this season. If you never skied Plattekill on a weekend after a midweek snowfall your missing out. Truly an amazing place for skiing and riding with no crowds. With all the expansion improvements at Hunter and Belleayre I would suggest you give...

My heart goes out to the Bode family. It happens so fast and unfortunately it happens more than you think it does. Here is a true event in my town that maybe others can learn from. A family had a kids birthday pool party. They did the right thing. When there were kids in the pool they had...

Wow paid to sleep at the top of Jackson Hole and get first tracks in the morning. Hell I would pay the resort to sleep up there. With 16oz PBRs and all the waffles you can eat how bad can it be. Actually it can be bad. I understand the sleeper in Corbets Cabin 10,450 feet at top of Tram...

Climb up in the morning through the woods just before the lifts open. Carefully leave only ski tracks off the unloading ramp. When lift starts wait a few minutes. Ski down and claim you been stuck on the chair lift all night. Refuse medical care that might prove your body temperature is too...

Anyone out skiing in the Catskills early Saturday April 7, 2018 enjoying the 12 to 15 inches of dry fluffy powder? Weird weather this late in the season. It was a pleasant surprise at top of Belleayre Sauturday. Since the snow came after Belleayre groomed their trails, all trail off the top...

At noon time snowing pretty good on on Hunter Belleayre web cams https://www.huntermtn.com/web-cams/ http://www.belleayre.com/the-mountain/webcam-feed

Its Friday April 6, 2018 and Its Snowing in the Catskills. To quote Plattekill "It Ain't over til it's Over". It ain't over yet. :smash:;-)8-):-D Get out and ski and ride this weekend. Plattekill Web Cams. That middle cam has a very large UFO over Plattekill. The aliens are skiing again...

Everyone I talked to on the Belleayre Gondi said they love the Gondola. One mother with her 9 year old daughter on a cold 10F degree day said she would not even have considered skiing that day if the Gondola was not there. Obviously the intermediate crowd likes the Gondola, which is very...

Where do you folks learn about these conspiracy theories?

WRONG! Thursday 3/28 Rain/Drizzle followed by Saturday and Sunday Highs in mid 40s which means groomers in the morning and soft fun bumps later in the day. Its all good.

For me its all about snow conditions. Its snowing hard right now in Woodstock, NY. If you could have gotten to any of the Catskills resorts for early fresh tracks at 9:00am (or earlier) versus 10:00am tracked up tracks on Mt Snow well the choice is obvious. You got to go with the fresh...

Wow a lot negative hate talk here. I miss the old snowjournal.com days where everyone was happy to talk about their favorite sport with mostly positive discussions. I know we don't get a lot of powder days here in the east. Skiing out west on a powder day and everyone had this big grin...

Is it me or are the lift lines at Belleayre extremely short ever since the Belleayre Gondola started turning adding an Uphill capacity of 2,000 people per hour? Sure there are lines for the Gondola and Superchief but not that long of a wait. The lines for Lift 7 and Tomahawk lifts are almost...

Most ski areas include real estate sales in the profit loss. Unfortunately ORDA does not have the option to sell real estate for ski in / ski out . For example, Windham mountain sold a postage size land plot between two trails for $5 million. That is nice money if you can get it. Of course a...

That 200K profit does not include all the sales tax money made on drinks at various bars in the area. I don't know much about economics but I do know skiers and riders like to drink alcohol which is taxed. Also hotel tax which is limited since Belleayre is typically not considered a...

I had kids and now have grand-kids that I take skiing and now my life is awesome. :grin:
