thinnmann - Nice trip report. Little known secret that snow conditions are usually great when skiing in the rain. :beer: No worries with Belleayre's rain check policy. Sounds like everyone at Belleayre got a free day of skiing.

Drizzle/snow at Hunter all day yesterday...mostly snow in the afternoon.

Tons of snow and they made a bunch since the rain earlier in the week.

Conditions are great.

I think it has to rain past 12 noon for the rain check policy to kick in, but I'm not sure, too lazy to look it up. It changed to snow at 11:30 yesterday.

The Rain Check Promotion applies to full day tickets sold between the hours of 8am and 12pm (noon). Rain must occur for one continuous hour between the hours 8am to 12pm as determined by Belleayre Ski Patrol.
