“I want to thank Governor Andrew Cuomo for his strong commitment to Ulster County and the Catskills.  After extensive conversations and advocacy with his office, it quickly became apparent that the Governor recognizes the Belleayre Mountain Ski Center as a world-class destination and we are thrilled by his commitment of $8 million in improvements.  Ulster County has a thriving $533 million tourism economy and these upgrades at Belleayre will certainly help to attract even more visitors who will experience the beauty and excitement of the outdoors in Ulster County.”
