Thank you to everyone who signed the petition.

  This is my personal interpretations of the meeting.

  We discussed the following:

  Mike says he read the petition and the comments. We talked about whales and bumps and groomers.

  I think we have made our point as we have bumps on Winnisook, Yahoo and Onteora.
Note: No promises were made about this since weather conditions are an important consideration.

     Onteora has since been groomed, it needs to be dusted similar to Winnisook.
     I think Tongora will be left ungroomed, perhaps 1/2 Belleayre and/or       Peakamoose weather conditions permitting.

  I pointed out lower Wanatuska and explained that it is a great place for people to learn on how to ski/ride bumps. Made the point that over the years, we have had clinics and competitions there. Also expressed the safety aspect of the bumps on lower Wanatuska.

  Discussed the lack of intermediate terrain on the west side when lift 8 does not run. Meaning there is no access to lower Dot, Seneca, Peekamoose, Pepacton and Esopus from the Gondola. The solution will be a switch back similar to Onondaga between Seneca and Dot.

  Beginners and the new "Lightning" lift: I don't think anything can be done about how the area is configured. This is a quote from Mike Pratt “The mountain is completing highly complex construction projects and the operation is changing. The Staff too are transitioning. The Staff expectations are high as they are at all of the ORDA Venues.“

  I brought up employee morale, specifically about Bruce. I expressed my displeasure based on my observations on how I've seen him interact with employees. I also expressed to Mike that I had hoped that Bruce would adapt more to Belleayre and not try to remake it in Hunters image. I'm not sure how this is going to work out.

  Food and Beverage issues: Sunset Lodge was open with food service for the first time all year.

  Glade area maintenance: it needs to be done even if we need volunteers to help.

  Cell tower repeater needs to be put back on at the Discovery Lodge.

  I thanked him for our recent improvements such as the gondola and lodge and expressed on how much we all love to ski at Belleayre.

  Mike also expressed this to me as well “ORDA understands the efforts being made to improve Belleayre are changes, but the heritage and past successes are valued. There are many additional changes on the horizon that will improve the experience, especially if the successes of the past are considered and enhanced where possible.”
