It was -16 at Belleayre when the day started, but I think it went up to a balmy 3 in the afternoon. I had two pairs of longjohns on, a thinsulate liner jacket under my regular insulated ski jacket, glove liners, no exposed skin. Luckly there was no wind and the sun was out, plus it was dry - so the skiing was actually great and it didn't feel so cold. Not a lift line to be seen.

The place is nearly 100% open. Skied bumps and natural conditions on Winnisook, Tongora, Belleayre Run, Belleayre Glade, Seneca and Utsyantha. Skied groomers on Wanatuska, Onteora, Yahoo, Area 51, Seneca, Dot Nebel. No bad ice except in the troughs of the bumps on Yahoo. Snow was squeeky and dry, sun was out for a mostly bluebird day.

Overall great day. It is warmer now - like about 7.
