    NY Ski Area Closing Dates 2023

    Thanks, that's great. I was up at Mount Snow last Tuesday and it was really good. Had to sit out Windham's closing this past weekend and headed to London tonight. I'll be back next Tuesday so hoping for another lift serviced day at Belleayre or Plattekill before either hiking or heading further...

    OpenSnow posted a projected Belleayre closing date of April 8. Seems early based on recent condition reports?

    Skiers: If You Could Move Anywhere... ?

    I like it here (Long Beach NY / Windham NY), but I sure would like to spend winters in Niseko, Japan and April on the east coast of Australia.

    Ski Waxing

    "Not sure on this one. It may be for stripping wax of the edges after you're done waxing" That's a sharpener for plastic wax scrapers.

    Ski Waxing

    The black thing is a Skiman sidewall planer. I don't use gloves myself, but most of the tuning advice sites recommend using them. Yellow Toko plastic thing is a wax scraper sharpener.

    Best places to learn moguls/bumps on blue terrain?

    "What is in CT or MA? Anyone know about Mohawk?" I started riding Mohawk this year and really enjoy the terrain and overall vibe, but from what I've seen so far, they focus on grooming and overall trail coverage, not bumps. There are some great full-speed wide open carving runs with narrower...

    Plattekill Conditions

    Thanks, Harvey. Of course the weather is important, but some places have that set end date. Windham has been my local since 1984 and I'm a current passholder (renewed for next year) and it disappoints me that they (and others) will be closing with more than enough snow for another month of...

    Plattekill Conditions

    How many inches does it take Plattekill to consider opening midweek if there are no private rentals booked? I'm probably headed to Windham Tuesday on my pass hoping this forecasted light event comes in closer to 3", but it seems like Platty is in great shape and would be really great with a few...

    Windham Conditions

    Incredible day at Windham on Tuesday 3/14/23! Rode the Gentemstick 144 Rocket Fish most of the day and it was a great choice. Snowing hard all day with waist deep drifts and pockets. 100% open with lots of snow in the woods on both peaks. This is coming down Wedel mid-morning. Snow was mostly...

    Ski Waxing

    For those that wax regularly and frequently, how do you deal with cleaning up wax scrapings and keeping things tidy? If you have a dedicated workshop and this isn't a priority, no need to answer. I'm more interested in those who tune in mixed-use areas. My eventual plan is to frame out a small...

    Winter Weather 22/23

    Plattekill was great 1/27 Friday, but there were quite a few trails and connections closed. Not sure the exact amount, but the trail report for 1/28 listed 14 trails as open. That said, the mountain rode great on Friday and many of the "closed" trails actually had mostly good coverage, which is...

    Great report, thanks! Any idea of the group size? Either way, sounds good.
