Hello- just joining! Im Mike and live in Brooklyn, ride a snowboard and a splitboard, put on teles sometimes, try to get up to Plattekill as often as possible, and love getting out to skin up in Southern VT and Grelock in MA. Heard about the blog while riding on a lift at Belleayre last season with someone who either runs it or posts quite often (we took a few runs down Tongora!) Happy to meet you all!

Hey Mike, welcome. I am also a noob here but live between Brooklyn and the Plattekill area. maybe we can set up a car pool for storm days.

Hello everyone. My name is John and I currently reside in the Philadelphia area. I’m originally from NY and did not have the opportunity to ski much growing up. It was only when I moved to Bozeman, Montana, in the 90s that my skiing picked up (and the opportunity to regularly ski the Ridge at Bridger Bowl significantly improved my abilities).

I have been back on the East Coast for a couple decades now and I ski NY and New England whenever possible. I don’t really have a hill I call home. Hunter used to feel that way but not much anymore (pretty much for the same reasons outlined by others on this blog). Where I skied the most this year was actually a small local hill, Spring Mountain, with my wife as she recovers from a hip replacement. Spring Mountain reminds me of Mount Peter in that it is a great place to learn to ski (and who knew that it’s also great for recovery from a hip replacement).

Besides alpine, I also take out the cross-country skis whenever there is the thinnest of cover (still waiting for my area to get the thinnest of cover though) and, when conditions and/or location permit, I truly enjoy playing in the woods on my old backcountry set-up. I started following this blog recently and I appreciate the discussions, condition reports and the collective knowledge base of this community. I look forward to contributing when I have something to add.

Um, I can’t believe I took 2 years to figure this out…. You recognize these skis? The K2s? I think it’s time to get you up to Plattekill this year
