Nope, hint: the area in question is owned by the New York State DEP. :D


Your picture of Burke, is that from a brochure? I remember seeing it somewhere, that's how I guessed it.

OK, I know the mtn, but again, will defer to another poster to guess. :wink:

As for the pic..have it saved on my computer...came from first tracks I believe...I'm not taking ownership of it...I honestly don't remember where it came from and that's why I didn't give them credit.

Belt Parkway, Hunter Mtn. The lack of bodies on the trail confused me at first.

Belt Parkway has bigger cliffs on the side..

Belt Parkway

I thought his shot was taken farther down the trail near where it intersects the bottom of Racers. It does look similar to that area.

Guess I don't get on to Belt much.

Only late in the season will I ski the Belt..
Hunter's bad reputation is taken from that very trail - it's the easiest way to get down from the top..

Here's another one. Did a section of the Appalachian Trail that crossed the top of a ski resort less than a month ago, this is a shot from it.

Hunter's bad reputation is truly undeserved, I've almost never had bad snow on Belt Parkway, only some bad skiers/boarders, but you can find that anywhere else. For me Hellgate can get crazy at times with alot of skiers on it that should not be.

Those are the folks who missed the cutoff for Belt on top of the hill. I agree that Hellgate can get crazy with bodies flying and plopping everywhere...particularly bad after 3pm.

word...

Hellgate and Belt are the two main ways for beginners/intermediates to get down from the top... On a crowded weekend - we avoid them...
