Highmount, N.Y. - Belleayre would like to let you know that humans don't hibernate. Don't listen to those people who gripe and complain about snow and winter. Visit Belleayre, get out and celebrate it. It's not only fun, there is no better way to exercise in winter than skiing and riding so it's healthy too. With 106 inches of natural snowfall already this year from storm after storm and consistent cold temps for around the clock snowmaking ~ from bumps to groomers to terrain parks to glades ~ Belleayre's conditions are amazing and the region is on pace for record snowfall. February is the month for skiing and riding and the Belleayre calendar is packed with fun family events and great deals for everyone.
