Plattekill Conditions

I thought it was “you’ll never have a bad day at Plattekill “

Tomato, to-mato ?

Great to meetup with @JohnyCatnip and his buddy Nick. Such a great day, sorry didn't get to meet @Temp6 .

The day was so chill. Really not enough people to create any issues.

Plattekill had some kind of scanning going on. Without RFID, they're trying to figure out how many passholders will come on a max type day.

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

What happened?

One thing was wild... people with day tickets were trying to throw money at Laz, begging to buy a pass.

I think the scanners were cold. They corrected ticket issue asap. I’m with Harvey. I can ski all day by myself but I need a victim to ride the chair with. It’s boring riding up alone. Good thing I brought a date today

Best opening day I've ever had at any mountain. I thought the way they handled season passes and day passes was very efficient. I had my season pass and parking pass and was in my spot close to the lodge within 10 minutes of arriving. The snow and the skiing was tremendous.

Harvey, thanks for telling me to consider buying the Plattekill pass. After today I have to believe I'll make it a yearly purchase.

Thanks for saying that. I can't tell you how good that makes me feel.

It’s a 2020 Ford Transit AWD.

I’m still in the process of building it out. If you’re interested in that, go to @mattchuck2 on Instagram and click on the “Van Build” story highlight reel, where I put all my van-related Instagram stories together.

This would be an awesome thread. Would like to see it in action.

Driven in the snow yet?

“Plattekill pass is worth any price” Harvey says and now that I’ve missed this year’s powder opener I would have to agree. Although rumor has it that last year was still deeper

 

[Harvey]

Ha. I don't remember saying that but I can totally see me saying it.

I was saying it all summer. Buy a Plattekill pass. Maybe too late now.

The challenge for every mountain is going to be estimating the number of passholders who show up. Midweek, weekend, pow etc.

The snow was definitely denser last year and might have had something under it?

Last year was substantially deeper. (there were 2 big storms leading into opening weekend, not just one), plus like Harvey said, this year the snow was super light...Utah snow. Not that I'm complaining about having an opening day like yesterday.

Yeah, it’s great in the snow. AWD is solid. Might get Snow tires anyway just to be able to go through everything.
