Belleayre, NY 03/06/10

A week after the storm of the century and everything is still golden in the Catskills. Bluebird skies and incredibly soft snow, especially in the bumps: a perfect combination of winter and spring conditions.

All that dumpage opened up some shots that we've never been able to ski before. We were thinking about doing a run down Highmount, but the snow was so perfect in-bounds that there was no need to go hunting.

Hey James , Thanks for posting those pix :shock:
what a spectacular day!!!

Those are perhaps the most random bumps I've ever seen.

I'm stickin to my story .... Jason is a rockstar.

I like the way his skis match his outfit.

One of the overlooked places at Belleayre that I always try to ski after a decent snowfall is the old lift line next to Esopus. A little further down, it narrows down to six feet in width and turns into a great bump run.

Yesterday was the first time in nine years of skiing there that I didn't see a rope across it at the entrance.
