Date(s) Skied: Sunday December 14, 2011

Ski Area: Belleayre, NY

Conditionsacked Powder

Trip Report:
I started my season at Belleayre today, got on the snow about 11:00. It was a beautiful bluebird day and about 40 degrees. The snow was packed powder and skied really well and was pretty fast. I started out with a few runs down Onteora from the mid-station. After a few runs I got my ski legs back and headed up to the top. Onteora was open from top to bottom today. Upper Onteora was open and appeared that it was groomed before opening so no bumps today for any bump skiers out there but it was fine for me. Just a lot of fun getting back out on skis. My legs were done about 2 but I did a few more runs from the mid-station and left about 2:30.

Did iroquois look close to opening on the lower mountain? They were blowing snow on it most of Sunday, and probably monday and tuesday also. Hoping they can finish that up so the snowmakers can get to expanding the upper mountain terrain

It was really impossible to tell from the Overlook lodge, the whole mountain was covered with a couple inches of natural so nothing stood out.

looks thin on the edges but the trail looks to be in pretty good shape, glad you had a nice time... !
