Belleayre Mountain - Deer Run

Deer Run is a ski trail of varying difficulties located at Belleayre Mountain Ski Center. The trails run from the summit of the ski area down to the Discovery Lodge at the bottom of the ski area. The trail starts to the left of the top of Lift 8 and the Catskill Thunder Gondola lifts. The upper portion of the trial is rated as intermediate, gently winding its way down the western boundary of the ski area. After passing the bottom of Lift 8, the trail is rated as beginner, using a bridge to pass over the access road and gently continuing down to the Discovery Lodge and the bottom of the gondola.
Belleayre Mountain Ski Center is a ski area located in Highmount, New York. The ski area is located in the town of Shandaken in the northwestern corner of Ulster County in the Catskill Mountains, in southeastern New York State. Belleayre is located about a 2.5-hour drive northwest of New York City and about a 1.5-hour drive south of Albany. Belleayre is known for its variety of terrain and its relatively close proximity to New York City. The mountain features smaller facilities but also features fewer crowds and is more affordable than most of its other competitors in the region. The ski area is owned by the State of New York and operated by the Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) and is therefore on the Ski3 Pass, which also includes access to Whiteface and Gore.

Deer Run is always a fun trail.

[@RainGuilty]

When I went today it was way more steeper than it looked in video lol

[@beyondthelodge]

The wide lens makes every trail look less steep than in real life.

[@RainGuilty]

Oh ok lol, gotcha. I was pretty surprised on the trail the first time 😂

[@RainGuilty]

Would you recommend mount snow for first year skiers?

[@beyondthelodge]

@@RainGuilty Sure they have plenty of beginner terrain!

[@RainGuilty]

Ok, thanks!!

[@Lucda104]

You should go back to Bromley ski mountain

[@beyondthelodge]

I love Bromley! Would definitely love to make it back someday!

[@tenderpawsm473]

@beyondthelodge Bromley is very small, though, yes? It's similar in size to Cranmore.

@@tenderpawsm473 Bigger than Cranmore, I'd say similar to Gunstock
