Belleayre Mountain — the state-owned western Catskills ski area in Highmount — typically opens for the 2026–27 season in late November to early December. Belleayre runs more affordable lift-ticket pricing than Hunter and Windham, draws a family-leaning crowd, and has the longest groomed runs in the western Catskills. Adults 21+ visiting from out of state should know NY state land cannabis prohibition applies to the trails and parking; consume only at the cabin or rental.
