The snow was hard and fast just about everywhere. Perfect for sharp SL, GS or other carving skis. You could find some snow "shavings", sometimes with a few inches deep on some edges. Everything was groomed to death, flat as a pancake, with no bumps or ripples unless you looked really hard on the sides of trails for some leftover hops from when the snow was good (i.e. last Saturday and before).

No lift lines to speak of. Mostly skied right up to the chair. Started cold, but warmed after lunchtime. The lodge was not crowded at lunch.

They were blowing snow until about 1 PM on upper Yahoo and lower Seneca. Hopefully they will be open tomorrow. I didn't spend any time on the lower mountain so I don't know what the greens were like.

Race camp in full swing doing SL training in the PM - that took lots of real estate from Dot Nebel. But that is OK, because my kid is in it.

Tomahawk's noob lifties still making mistakes at load and slowing things up, checking lift tickets even though they saw you 3 times already....

I am pissed that they reduced the number of cubbies in Overlook Lodge in favor of a photographer booth. They gave about 15 cubbies to three guys who take pictures.

Not to mention allowing the chair to smash into the back of your knees, at least that was my experience last Friday, I'll see if they do better tomorrow.

Nice Belleayre trip repoort.

The picture of the weird fog is caused by a temperature inversion where its warmer the higher up the mountain you go.

As i have stated on other posts ..feel free to complain to the mountain management on any issues that may concern you.They are more than open to new ideas and will address problems in a prompt manner.

They also monitor most forums for posts about the mountain.

Right Tommy.
