RootDKJ Posted February 7, 2018 Report Posted February 7, 2018 3-4” so far of soft fast blower pow on top of the groomed out 3” they got yesterday. Coming down hard. 1-2”/hour for sure. The gondubie is legit. Gonna hit the quad soon because the terrain here is limited. Can’t upload pics yet. Best day of the year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7 Quote

Glad you got to enjoy the powder today. I've been taking my skis in the lodge every day to boot up. Probably being a gaper, but just too lazy to lock them outside and no one's yelled at me yet. 1 Quote

Do you get a locker for your shoes?? Edited February 8, 2018 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote

I usually boot up at my car but when there's snow on the ground I boot up inside because if I accidentally get my socks wet from the snow it's game over and impossible to get the boots on. I just toss my shoes in a bin and they haven't been stolen yet. Doubt anyone wants them but if they get stolen I'll just go to the Salvation Army and get a few pairs to leave in ski lodges. Don't want to threadjack Root since he's always cool to me. Hope you had fun riding the gondoobie Root. I'll have to check out Belleayre some time. Edited February 8, 2018 by saltyant Quote

momskeeztoo Posted February 8, 2018 Report Posted February 8, 2018 I take my skis in the lower lodge at Blue all the time. So do all the other mid week people who boot up in the back. Quote

A lot of ski resorts have signs on the doors that say no skis in the lodge. Quote
momskeeztoo Posted February 8, 2018 Report Posted February 8, 2018 I want to get up to Belleayre this year. Really pushing it for a day trip for me. Not sure if I'd want to stay up there alone overnight. Locals seemed a little creepy to me last time I was there. That was awhile ago, so maybe things changed. Quote

There's a lot of poverty in the Catskills http://www.delawaremotelcatskills.com/ or stay at one of the chain hotels along the interstate in Kingston if retro isn't your thing.

I've read that sign at several resorts and still brought them in anyway. I think it's one of those rules that isn't heavily enforced. Worst case scenario they'll ask you to take your skis outside so I figure it's worth the risk. But if the lodge is crowded I leave them outside so I dont poke someones eye out. Quote

I actually prefer smaller, family owned places to chain motels when I'm skiing. I don't know what it is about the area around Belleayre. Creeps me out. It's like a Steven King book. 1 1 Quote

Old religious summer retreats, restaurants, the weird rocket ship place. I’d head that way in a zombie apocalypse for decent off the beaten path shelters. 2 1 Quote
