Anyone have an update on how the construction of the control shack on the double is going after the fire?

No matter how many times Mother Nature tries to knock us down and melt the mountain, Platty finds a way to stand back up like Rocky Balboa and deliver a KO punch for the season. Yesterday was that day. Good times and fun turns were had all day.

Speak it into existence ??

Wish it wasn’t true, but it ain’t looking great at the moment

Hearing from a mountain goer today that the few inches of powder is nice, but there’s a crunchy layer underneath the fresh.

Let the good times roll.

Great day Saturday. Winter is firing on all cylinders, and it doesn’t look like it seems to be stopping anytime soon.

Firm indeed, but considering the up and down weather we’ve had, I’m giving my assessment rather optimistically.

Spent the weekend in Prattsville and rode at Platty Sat & Sun. I was pleasantly surprised with the conditions. It’s amazing what a few inches in the early week did for the mountain. Fingers crossed, our base is locked in for the season. Solid snowmaking as well made for sweet turns and good...

I have not, however, I’ve talked to multiple people from NYS who have and they said there’s been no issues. No questions asked at any level. Which tbh, I assumed would be the case.

Man, you would think it’s the end of the world by the way social media is reacting to this closing. Is it a huge inconvenience? Yes. Is it life changing? I highly doubt it for all. Skiing is a privilege. Sometimes things happen that force people in power to make a decision that is in the best...

Seems like the last couple seasons have had a few of these vicious snow-thaw-snow cycles. Hoping for the best. Can’t let our precious base wash away like tears.

Minor hiccup in the AM, but other than that, no issues at all. Super chill day. Nice to meet you as well.

Tomato, to-mato ?

There’s an old saying (that I made up), “I’ve never had a bad day at Plattekill”.. And after another top notch day today, the saying still holds true.
