DiMe Posted November 25, 2010 Report Posted November 25, 2010 Looking like Belleayre might get some dumpage..plus good snowmaking Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights..I might hit up the Bell on Sunday for WROD.. me toooo Quote
Justo8484 Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 Likewise Dougie fresh. Not going to mt snow now? Quote
DiMe Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 Not going to mt snow now? I think I may do Mount Snow this weekend instead. Quote
DiMe Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) I'm picking my gear up Saturday...I hope belleayre can get top to bottom. Dime was saying about how Mount Snow could have more Turin options. I may have to schedule a few midweek days off in December to head north. Between boots, season pass and Jackson hole trip I'm booking soon , places like Belleayre are nice cause they don't cost 75 bucks for a lift ticket and some interesting runs. I wonder how much snow they got today. For bonus points can someone tell me how far blue mountain ski area is from belleayre as the crow flys? $75? Mount Snow is chargeing $55 for full day $45 for half day. They opened today w/ 3 top to bottom runs currently 2 off Summit Express 1 off Carinthia maybe more by the weekend. They can really lay the snow down fast with all their fan guns. Bell will most likely be its usually few hundred feet of vert off Lift 7 on Onteora. I guess your not interested?

Dan- Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 Mt. Snow is also going to be PACKED.. Only 2 places open in VT on t-day weekend... Quote
DiMe Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) Mt. Snow is also going to be PACKED.. Only 2 places open in VT on t-day weekend... This is most likely going to be the truth. It was 3 places for t-day Okemo also opened today and Stratton will be opening this weekend though so hopefully the crowds will spread out a bit. Edited November 26, 2010 by DiMe Quote

Actually 5 places open in VT for T-Day if you want to include the Northern mountains Stowe and Sugarbush was also open. Smugglers Notch will also be opening this Sat, the season is finally here.

When you could do the same thing at belleayre and save a few bucks. 55 bucks to ride a few top to bottom runs is a bit much. At least at the beast you can get the 2for1 tix. Quote

This is true, I'll most likely be flying solo if I go anywhere so the 2 for 1 tix wont apply. It all depends how I feel health wise weather I go anywhere since I've felt kind of under the weather today. I was figuring if I do VT I will leave 5 or 6 am Sat and do an afternoon half day at Mount Snow if it's not insanely packed spend the night somewhere nearby and do an early half day Sunday before heading back. Otherwise maybe leave later Saturday spend the night and just do Killy Sunday. I'm definitely more concerned with crowds rather than cost. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 Doug, I'll be in NE the 6th-10th and the 20th-23rd touring around... Lots of traveling the first trip so I don't get bored (could even make it to Maine), but maybe more centralized in South Central VT the 20th-23rd... Hit me up if your in the area... Quote

At least at the beast you can get the 2for1 tix. so true. everybody's hype on VT but honestly I'd rather save my money and go ski it when it's not a WROD. lift tickets seriously blow big time. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 No Pics and still anticipating an opening day tomorrow... They could have snowmaking going by 5 tonight, but who knows what their current base looks like... Quote
RootDKJ Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 So what's the best wax to use on grass? Quote
RootDKJ Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 Pic of the day. Opening tomorrow. Quote
Rambo Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 I imagine Onteora from the mid-station down will be open on Sat. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 26, 2010 Report Posted November 26, 2010 Thats way more snow than I expected... Beginner trail out of the valley lodge with onteora out of the upper... No superchief tomorrow, but good temps mean they should be able to expand decently by next weekend... Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 27, 2010 Report Posted November 27, 2010 I think Onteora is actually open from the top to the bottom of that lift... Coldest temps would have been at the top barring an inversion... Website doesn't show them making snow on anything else right now, but knowing how they update their website, I am sure they are working on some other terrain during the day while the mountain is open... Quote
Dan- Posted November 27, 2010 Report Posted November 27, 2010 website says 3 trails. I'll be up there tomorrow Quote
moe ghoul Posted November 27, 2010 Report Posted November 27, 2010 I'm liking this option....pricewise and distance wise for some preseason. I'm gonna head up Monday for the day. Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 27, 2010 Report Posted November 27, 2010 With a 3rd trail, that seems like a good call Moe... If I werent going up north the following week, I would try to get up there too... Quote
moe ghoul Posted November 27, 2010 Report Posted November 27, 2010 I got an appointment on Tuesday at 3:30, so I'll pack some sleep gear just in case it's worth staying for the AM session on Tuesday. I can't get motivated to drive to Kmart or Jay at this point until the snow loads and more terrain is available. Midweek weather is looking a little sad as well, maybe the higher elevations will get some. Quote
Justin Posted November 28, 2010 Report Posted November 28, 2010 anybody know if they have any rails setup? Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 28, 2010 Report Posted November 28, 2010 Last year they had one or two setup on the skiers left of Onteora near the lift... Don't know about this year... I'm guessing yes, but I couldn't say for sure... Quote
RootDKJ Posted November 28, 2010 Report Posted November 28, 2010 I'm liking this option....pricewise and distance wise for some preseason. I'm gonna head up Monday for the day. I'm really thinking about Monday also. Quote
