Bobcat, NY: 02/26/05

Any updates on this place? I've read just about everything related to Bobcat thats been posted here. Would love to see it open up for uphill access, I would pay a few bucks for the privilege.

The other place I am very interested in learning more about in the western cats is the old mountain in Stamford that now appears to be an orthodox jewish summer camp.

The most recent personal experience I have with Bobcat is almost nine years ago when I was turned away by a caretaker who told me that the owners were concerned about getting sued after a hiker broke her leg on the ridge. Just a guess, however, it seems like there would have to be an Ascutney-type of setup where uphill access would be possible.
 
Ira's family owns the land Bobcat is on. He's a regular at Plattekill. I have certainly tried to broach the subject, but they really don't seem to want anyone on the property.

James, that’s even before I joined SJ!
Unless I’m reading the history of the trip reports wrong it seems you were the only one posting reports for almost TEN years!

There is nothing better than reading your old reports and even though I never skied with you I was privileged to meet you at the Bearpen hike 2015. Seeing you, Russ and Ben Lane together was the epitome of ski history to me.

Between you and Harv I would like to see Claude and Neve updates.
