The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) recently issued findings statements and other documents for the Belleayre Mountain Ski Center Unit Management Plan (UMP) and Belleayre Resort at Catskill Park. The issuance of the findings statements and permits allow the development plan to move forward.
Highlights of the final UMP include the installation of three new ski lifts and 16 new trails, construction of a new lodge, upgrades to snowmaking operations, expanded lodges, and additional parking.
The project site is located in the town of Shandaken (Ulster County) within the boundaries of the New York State Catskill Park and adjacent to the State-owned Forest Preserve Lands comprising the Shandaken Wild Forest and Big Indian Wilderness Area.
The Modified Belleayre Resort at Catskill Park, which includes the Wildacres Resort and Highmount Spa Resort, is located generally west of the Belleayre Mountain Ski Center in the towns of Shandaken (Ulster County) and Middletown (Delaware County).
The Wildacres Resort will include a hotel building with 250 units and ancillary hotel uses (dining, spa and hotel related commercial), 163 detached lodging units in multi-unit buildings, and an 18-hole golf course.
The Highmount Spa Resort includes a 120 unit hotel with spa facilities, 96 additional lodging units, a ski lift and two ski-trails.
