Interesting article https://skiing.substack.com/p/why-plattekill-could-become-king

Yes I am aware they are only open 3 days a week. And I agree they are special which is why I would buy a reasonably priced ticket to ski there in the right conditions even when I have a pass to use other places. Do you really think Plattekill has ever hit 50% of capacity? Certainly not any time...

Yes I have Epic Local passes for 3 (cheaper than Plattekill passes for 3 and good 7 days a week at 45 mountains instead of 3 days a week at 1) so Hunter is paid for. And I consider all those things about Plattkill to be assets as well - which is why I might still have bought day tix there if...

I am skeptical that demand will exceed supply at Plattekill. In the 15-20 times I have skied there over the past 30 years I have never waited in a lift line for more than 2 minutes unless the lift stopped working. Having an Epic Pass and living about 3.5 hrs from Plattekill - it is a place I...

Plattekille weekend day pass $82? Wow that seems high. Did the price just shoot up this year? Can't say I have paid full price window rate in a while.

Wow - that is awesome, thanks for the tour of your site - I had never checked out any of those resources. I will go back for sure.

Oh well - maybe not such an unreasonable decision then. Is that base elevation? Just wanting to get some skiing in while I can. And the way they announced "closed til Dec 8" seemed a little suspect when Dec 8 is the day they start selling tix to non Epic Pass peeps. Would be nice for them to...

Bummer Hunter announced they are staying closed this weekend. With snow making temps weekday evenings and snow forecast for Saturday they definitely could have re-opened by Sunday Of course with Vail's policy of it only being for pass holders til Dec 8 - and very few buying food - they would...

This is the first year all the formerly Peak resorts adopted Vail's format for conditions reporting which provides no narrative or qualitative description whatsoever - instead only a list of open trails and lifts. And when that list is fundamentally off in a way that would impact decisions by...

2 shots of Hellgate from lift at 11 am today. There was only one open TTB run notwithstanding Vail continuing to show 2 TTB runs (including Belt Parkway) on web site til opening. Hope not many Blue only skiers headed up there today based on that bad info. Texture was mashed potatoes after...

IMO adhering to the spirit of taking safe precautions takes precedence over adhering to the letter of unenforceable laws. Day tripping in ones own car with a brown bag lunch to ski in a mask, gloves and goggles while riding lifts only with ones family members - whether or not one crosses state...

Appreciate the detailed report. Sounds fun but sounds like I should make other plans for Friday if it rains much tomorrow.

Awesome. Have reservation for Friday. Think there is enough snow to survive some rain tomorrow? How long were lift lines and how was social distancing handled there?

Against the rules unless you had a Covid test within 3 days. But I live right near the NJ/PA border and know people who have made the trip. They are not checking cars at the bridges.

Being based in NJ I am currently on the fence as to whether to keep my Epic Pass (in light of Covid restrictions in PA VT NH) or seek a refund and get an ORDA pass again (as I know I can get to the 3 NY areas legally, but the lack of a PA option makes day trips arduous - Belleayre is an extra 2...

Hoping to start at Hunter Friday. Waiting to hear reports about what conditions and lines are like. I guess you guys aren't Hunter fans here as I see no conditions thread for them.
