Weather: Clear, mostly sunny, 17-25 degrees or so.
Conditions: Very good. Upper expert trails were all open, even Utsayantha. Nice soft bumps on Tongora (where they were blowing snow all day) and Winnisook. Great snow and soft bumps on upper Onteora - must have been blowing that all night. Yahoo was fine, though harder under a dusting of real snow from last night, and Seneca was similar. Coverage is good: Saw a kid poach the Tomahawk liftline above midstation, with his friend filming it. Utsayantha had thin cover, but the natural snow was nice. Lots of racing today. Lower Yahoo was closed for racing, as usual; Dot Nebel was closed for a big GS.
Lifts: Not much of a line at 7 or Tomahawk, considering that it is a holiday weekend. Superchief broke for an hour or so, and that caused things to bunch up late morning at 7 - but it was up again by lunchtime. There were a bunch of liftie dweebs on duty at Tomahawk today. Bad job loading and running the lines there. What's up with that?
Thoughts: Early in the week I was worried about the conditions, after the storm overnight into last Wednesday. But the place was really fine today. Much better than expected for a holiday weekend Saturday. Belleayre continues to deliver a great experience weekend after weekend. Certainly getting our money's worth again this year.
I am on a really crumby dial-up connection up here in Halcott, so for now the pic size is reduced...
