HIGHMOUNT, New York ??” Spring rates kick in at Belleayre Mountain beginning Monday, March 20 and continuing through the end of the season. Late season lift ticket rates are $30 midweek and $35 weekends. Groups of 15 or more receive a buy-one-get-one-free deal on lift tickets with 48 hour advanced reservations.

The Dummy Races will be held Saturday, March 25 at the Longhouse Lodge. Spectators and participants will enjoy watching dummy creations of varying themes and designs careen down the course. Prizes will awarded to best crash, best run, and most creative. Participation is free. Build your dummy, mount to either skis or snowboard and join this much anticipated spring tradition.

Now through the end of the season, college students with valid ID can buy one lift ticket and get one free. Ski club members with valid ID receive $15 off any lift ticket, any day. Children seventeen and under ski free/stay free with a full paying adult at participating lodging establishments.

Belleayre Mountain continues to guarantee the weather. If it should rain for one continuous hour as determined by Ski Patrol, your rain day’s lift ticket is good for another visit to Belleayre Mountain through the end of the season.
