Belleayre was awesome today. So much good snow, some thin spots, but plenty of bumps. It warmed up beautifully today. Definitely worth the trip if the weather is warm. I will provide more details later. Picture was from 10 am just as it got sunny. They had the coolest 3 man bump contest relay race. Shea, Spencer and I got 3rd place.

This was all I needed to see. Bell tomorrow. Which trails are the bump trails?

Off the top of my head from skiers left to right :

Seneca, Pekamoose, Yahoo, Onteora, wanatuska. I'm not sure about Peekamoose.

Wow, nice job in all of the comps. this year.

4 comps, 4 weeks in a row. This comp was one of a kind. I can't wait till next years.

Drove up last night to snow squalls and high winds. Woke up to overcast, snow and wind. Sun soon came out. The afternoon was great with high speed bumps and no one in our way. Have fun tomorrow.

As I came into the base lodge today. I bumped into Tony Lanza, the GM. Before I said anything, he said the only reason we are open is because of our high base elevation and exposure.......

The trails you want to concentrate on are:

Yahoo, Onteora, Tongora, Winisook to lower Belleayre Run.

Awesome spring bumps.

"da girls" were 3 full time ski school guys who were around 25 years old. The lead guy cut me off bad causing me to spill. Next year we bring body Armour. I am very proud of my team whose average age was also in the mid 30's (10, 13 and 47). The other Hunter team (2nd place) had an average age over 50.
