Belleayre Mountain is throwing a party to celebrate winter from January 23-29 with events, activities and unbelievable rates.
Saturday, January 23, their annual Winter Festival Week kicks off with a fun-filled Kids’ Winter Carnival day full of fun activities and events on the slopes and in the lodge just for kids. Be sure to stay as the sun sets to watch Belleayre’s staff set the hill ablaze with a dazzling torchlight parade down the slopes.
The Winter Festival fun continues on Monday, January 25 with a ticketed event (that sells-out yearly), Taste of the Town, which brings together the region's finest eateries showcasing their most delectable culinary delights. Ticket holders are eligible for a multitude of door prizes including accommodations, locally produced merchandise, and event tickets.
From January 25 though January 29 Winter Festival Week features $20 lift tickets (normally $35-45) and unannounced slope-side activities and promotions.
If you’re looking for steep, rugged inclines, gentle beginner’s hills, a Rail Park, Terrain Park and Half Pipe, and a cozy main lodge with a roaring fireplace all just a couple of hours from Manhattan, make sure you head to Belleayre.
