Plattekill Conditions

[Belaña]

What a great set-up for their opening weekend, and for us skiers! I'm super curious in general how getting permission and paying if needed to earn turns on non-operating days would work. I don't have a season pass. If there were a way, I'd be in. Maybe I'll reach out earlier next week? Windham has an uphill season pass that jumped from $50 to $90 for this season. Worth it for sunup-sundown access imo.

I got that Windham pass ...just in case ...
Planning skinning tomorrow- Thursday

You had my hopes up?
The thought of booting up in platts notoriously muddy parking lot just won’t work

One of the unfortunate aspects of this ski season. Plattekill lodge is one of, if not the only lodges I feel comfortable leaving my bag in without have to worrying about it being mistakenly taken or stolen. Salt of the earth people.

I’m hooking up the gasoline/electric powered heater in my van tonight. Solar panels on & currently charging my two 100Amp lithium batteries. High top roof allows me to stand up inside.

Not sure if I’m going to risk the drive Saturday because I’m getting on a flight at 5:30 out of Albany and I don’t want to miss it.

I would be up for skinning on Friday, but if I did, I would shut the fuck up about it on a public forum so everyone in the greater NYC area doesn’t show up looking to go uphill & ruin the fun.

1. I doubt very highly that my incessant pestering regarding something that isn’t materializing is going to result in the place being overrun by people hoping to earn turns,

and

b. A guy’s gotta work the only connections he’s got. I’ll STFU now, because it’s either not a possibility or the guys with the real connections ain’t interested in making it happen, even if it was.

Some friends of mine just booked tickets for Saturday as well. Me thinks Saturday is going to be pretty crowded. If we didn’t have family holiday plans we’d be there as well.

I spoke to Danielle. They (and Hunter and Belle) are sold out for Saturday. The allotted 300 tickets and they were gone within hours. As of a short while ago D told me there were a few tix left for Sunday.

Of course at this time there is a loop hole. Current policy: If you buy a season pass you can ski any day, including this weekend.
