Last Friday afternoon, the Belleayre Mountain snowmaking staff tested the snow guns in order to be prepared for the dropping temperatures. It is the goal of the DEC to open Belleayre Mountain’s season doors on Saturday, November 14th with their Annual Tap into Winter Party, beginning at 1:00pm.

An open rail jam event, Fashion Showcase, and Bar Party will be a great celebration, with a promotional ticket price of $25. Also on sale over the weekend will be Belleayre’s classic $99 3-packs, available on-site only, at the mountain’s guest services. If all goes according to plan, 2009–2010 may be the earliest opening Belleayre has seen in several years.
