Catskills Updates

[kingslug]

Belleayre was nice yesterday. Belleayre Run- the trail right under the new quad was worked on all day yesterday. They blew sno much snow that trail will be the last one to close. Should be open today. Also - were blowing to re-cover wanatuska. Winnisook had huge bumps on it and prob. is like that today. Everything to skiers right, roaring brook, ashokan, etc. was nice yesterday. Yahoo also open but it was one blown inch over ice with big bumps...very tough.

The only time I like Yahoo is in the spring or after a powder dump. the rest of the time it's an icy bump slide.

wow... Was the skier who made these tracks bowlegged?

 

[MarkC]

If i recall correctly those were made by our official unoffical backcounty guide Shaun Riley. If this is so then there is a 90% chance that he was on tele skis.

Updated... Belleayre is blowing on Deer Run!

Catskills should get 3+ inches tonight !
Look at the map out of WRGB (Attachment).
Just what the doctor ordered... Maybe I'll hit up Belleayre if there is no school.
Meteorologist Mike Tamas:
"A weak clipper system will affect the region this evening through the overnight hours with patchy light snow. While the snow will be light, a fluff factor associated with the antecedant cold conditions will allow the snow to accumulate 1"-3" in areas from the Mohawk Valley south. While most areas in this band will likely only see 1"-2", some of the higher peaks of the Catskills and Berkshires could see up to 3". North of the Mohawk Valley expect the snow to be more intermittent and only accumulate from a coating to an inch. Because of the cold, only a little bit of snow will be able to cause slippery conditions on the roadways. With the snow breaking out in patches by the evening commute, the ride home could be slick.."

Belleayre and Windham are blowing on TONS of new trails, Plattekill has 13 trails projected for Friday, and Hunter's site is still down for me (this is weird... no one else has the problem but I get it on two different computers at two different houses)... 3" snow at Belleayre yesterday and I'm sure somewhere around that for the other mountains.

Hunters website is fine..

Where you posting from?

 

[bvibert]

I haven't had any problems with Hunter's site either...

 

[Greg]

I visit Hunter's site quite often and can't recall it ever being down.
