The Review: The snow from yesterday plus the snow from this morning made the skiing today excellent. Really. I am not kidding. It was great at Belleayre today. One of the top 5 ski days of 15 I have skied there this season. The new snow was not heavy. It was deep and fluffy almost everywhere. It covered the ice well for most of the day. It stayed good on the sides of the trails, and stayed light when crudded up. I couldn't believe it. Couple that with barely any lines at any time on lift 7 and Tomahawk, periods of sunshine, good friends and family - can't beat that.

The Weather: Temps in the mid 20's. The day opened with really heavy snow. The middle of the day got some sun and some clouds. The day closed with a blizzard-like blast of more snow as we left.

The Bumps: The bumps on Winnisook were big. The bumps on Onteora were irregularly spaced. The bumps on Yahoo were mostly hard but skiable and evenly distributed.
