I guess I'm glad I decided not to go Monday. I did some research on the flood warnings and found that the east brach of the Deleware is supposed to cause moderate flooding near Downsville around the rt 17 / 30 area. I would have kicked myself in the ass to find that section closed and have to detour, since I have to go through that area . I feel a little better, now. It's the last close thing. You'd pay just as much in gas, to drive farther north . Plus it gets you another free ticket for next season.

I was going to go Monday, but a three hour drive and not know where the flooding is happening, I've decided not to risk it. I don't know if I'd enjoy 45 mph winds, anyway. Looks like either Sat. 21 or Sun. 22nd. This sucks, because the novelty of the storm will be over

I can't believe they are closing with the snow they got.

Not for me it won't . .... if I can get there

From the website: ONE MORE WEEK!!! Belleayre is expected to receive 30" or more of snow in the next 24 hours. We will remain open through Sunday, April 22! Only the upper mountain will be open (the Super Chief and the Tomahawk Lifts). Monday morning trip

I was there from 8-11:30. Conditions were perfect, first thing. Snow started softening up around 9:30 - 10:00. Those guys who went to Belleayre don't know what they are missing

From their site: "ONE MORE DAY??? If Belleayre receives significant snowfall from the Nor'easter headed our way, we may remain open on Monday, April 16 for a powder day! Check back Sunday for the decision..."

I guess I can see that nobody would plan on going, even after a snowfall, and people wonder why places close up early

I'm bored, so I thought I would start an online petition. This is a petition to try to get BB to open on Monday, if they get a lot of snow Sunday / Monday. Who would go? I would. 1. Bigdaddyk

Nevermind....I was thinking Mary

That's what the phone recording says and the website. That could be a good reason to take off work for "physical therapy"

I should be there, barring anything unexpected

From BB's conditions page, from today Weekend Outlook yes we are open again this weekend so put your shred on.

I just checked out Mt. Snow's passes and their passes have blackout dates on holidays, except for the Noreaster pass, which is $350 more than the next lower pass .

As long as he doesn't show up in bra and panties

If you can't make Bell, go to BB. They probably won't even mind going bra and panties style

I saw that...it's a really good deal if you travel a lot, or buy a lot of stuff from the resorts.

Hopefully BB.

I just read in the press releases that Sunday, April 15th is the last day. It's dated April 6th, which is when I was told that they would like to be open until the 21st. That employee must have been a week ahead of themself http://www.belleayre.com/company/press.htm

I saw a couple people almost go off the top. I guess launch was a poor choice of words. I don't think the amount of snow will be an issue.

Mine was from a free skiing perspective. Although, I still like BB. It's short and quick, but it's well maintained.

Is that the one on Snowdrift, where you'd end up launching into the woods if you had any type of speed?
