Sure hope they get some snow, I skipped this week, but want to go next week.

Hunter was pretty good today. They did a good job grooming.

And it was sunny so runs like Upper Crossover were good. And the seeded bump lines on Ike were great. And Racers was hard and fast.

Good stuff.

What about Bell?

Gotta admit the kids were bumming out that we didn't get the snow here in NoJersey Last night

Yesterday belleayre was great in morning and if you ski the edges was fine for afternoon.Last weeks weather was a killer..Believe bumps on onterora and yahoo were closed.Looked kinda on the hard side.

Not fair to report 2 inches of fresh and change to pp/p,but thats the marketing side of business.

I was at Belleayre today and the conditions were very good, they seem to have recovered nicely from the thaw. It was snowing all day and it seems like they got about an inch while I was there, plus they were blowing snow all day on a lot of the closed trails. The groomed trails were in good shape, just a few icy spots on some of them but for the most part soft snow. The ungroomed trails that were open had a few inches of powder on top of the crust and some bumps building up. Winter is finally back.

Looks like things are turning around. Prolly won't get back up there until Feb when I get back from BC. Should be sweet by then.

It was snowing hard at plattekill at 5pm. Not so much at windham around 630. I would expect 3 inches overall in the cats with a bit more towards the western end.

I hear snowmaking startsup again tonight..

We've been complaining that they need more expert terrain... Hoping they respond..

An old complaint. They always want to accomadate the intermediates before the advanced.

Just got back from Belleayre. Packed Powder snow conditions were awesome. They did a great job with the snow conditions. Lift lines less than 4 minutes. Less than 1 minute from 11am to 1pm, Best part is typical Belleayre fashion the trails are virtually empty. Typical great MLK day at Belleayre. :beer:

Hunter is reporting that snowmaking is underway on Lower K27....hopefully Purna and/or 44 will follow soon.

Sweet. Between the temps in the low teens and the NFL playoffs, it should be even better tomorrow. Anyone else planning to head up to Belleayre?

Hunter's snow report is listing Upper Highlands as having snowmaking going on. When was the last time they did that? Two or three years?
