Plattekill Conditions

Greetings,
I mostly lurked on the old site and recently signed back up here.

Back sometime in maybe 2011, '12 or '13 the Catskills had a monster dump. I recall something like 7' at Belleayre & Platty. I skied Platty, 'twas insane.

Anybody recall the date and specs of that storm?

I think it was 2010? If so check the weather section of the NY ski directory

Yup. Was quite an experience. As far as Catskills skiing goes, it's only been rivalled by the big black out storm a few years ago when all the hills were closed but Platty. Only time I've really waited on a lift line there.
 
I was at Hunter for almost the whole thing. It started on Thursday..snow was so heavy you couldn't see with the goggles on..or off. Went to the K club for some food that night..came out and jeep was buried. Drove across the street to the hotel..woke up..jeep buried to the roof. But I had AT tires. So while everyone was digging out..I just drove out. Insane day..still snowing hard...whole mountain in play..they were jumping off the cliffs under the chair..snow was waist deep west side. . My prob..wrong skis. Too skinny. I had to go to work Saturday in NYC but my new 98 rossi's came in to the Fed Ex warehouse..so after work got those. Came back Sunday. Good thing I wasn't there Saturday..power outages and a big mess at all the mt's. Sunday was Mogul day..My new twin tips made it work. 100 year storm...
 
Jason saved a girl's life that day
 
I saw a boarder jump off the cliff and land upside down..in feet of snow..so he was pretty much drownings at that point.
