Ride Delaware ? Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 Root usually seems to be pretty well informed on Catskill updates... Not sure if that is the Jersey connection or the AZ connection, but I was wondering if there was an update... I saw that Hunter had the guns shut down and wasnt anticipating on starting them back up until Thursday around noon today, but Belleayre posted a 2nd daily pic sometime early afternoon with the guns still going with natural snow... TWC posts the temp at 35 currently... Guns still going or they shut them down? Its times like this that I wish they had a webcam... Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Posted December 4, 2009 Belleayre now to open Sunday the 6th... Looks like around the clock snowmaking Sat and possibly Sunday... I would expect an opening, at least on the upper terrain... Quote
Dan- Posted December 6, 2009 Report Posted December 6, 2009 We called there snophone or whatever. Says there opening tomorrow. I'll be there with some friends. Quote
RootDKJ Posted December 6, 2009 Report Posted December 6, 2009 Belleayre isn't going to make an opening decision until 5am Sunday morning. They SUCK at updating their website, so if you're thinking about it, I'd call 1st. No word out of Hunter on tomorrow. Windham isn't opening until Thursday 12/10. I'd bet you could earn turns at Bell if they don't open, but I don't know what their policy on that is. Quote

I trust that way more then the website. Just listened again. to make sure i wasn't hearing things. Good to go tomorrow. Edited December 6, 2009 by Dan- Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Posted December 7, 2009 Where's that TR Dan? I'm interested to hear if they were making snow on anything other than Onteora... They say they weren't, but I have trouble believing they arent trying to spread out and down to the HSQ... Quote
Dan- Posted December 7, 2009 Report Posted December 7, 2009 It was cold. They were blowing snow on the one trail open, and not really anywhere else. Since they were blowing on the only open trail the snow stayed decent, just sucked having ride through the guns. Got pretty crowded around 11:30. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Posted December 8, 2009 Hunter and Windham to open Thursday, Belleayre top half now top to bottom (not just midstation)... Belleayre hopes to be T2B on Saturday... Quote

Ride Delaware ? Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Posted December 9, 2009 Looks like all the reports say that the mountains had received 6 inches by 8 AM and that it was still coming down... Looks like a small amount of wintry mix, but thats almost over... Totals in the Skillz are 6-12, so my guess is that there was very little hit taken and very little R**N... Looking like a good Friday... Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted December 9, 2009 Author Report Posted December 9, 2009 according to DMC..changed over to rain at Hunter.. I can't imagine it rained much... Most of the precipitation is out of the picture... I think there was a net gain... Shouldn't be too much of a buzzkill on Friday... Quote
moe ghoul Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 Take comfort in knowing that by the time you wake up and take your morning wiz tomorrow on your way to some cubicle, I'll be booting up for 1st trax in the Cats. T-4 hours, took a 2 hour nap earlier. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) Guns are back on at Hunter... I'm sure more terrain will not be open by tomorrow when I get there, but my guess is that there will be more opening on Saturday... Edited December 10, 2009 by Ride Delaware ? Quote
OutCold Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 Guns are back on at Hunter...

Sure you don't want to scrap that trip and go to Camelback with me on Saturday? Quote
