Plattekill Conditions

[Ripitz]

I bought Bell tix for monday as platt was sold out the whole week...and now..they are not.

“d’oh!”

The thought of a groomed Blockbuster makes me a little sad ?

I think of Freefall as the ungroomable.

The part about...

a new experience for me as a Catskills skier

...is what makes my "friends" smile.

A groomed blockbuster will become a normal blockbuster..soon enough

My daughter said this when she was maybe 5 or 6.

"I like the ice daddy it's faster."

This year I asked her if she still like ice and she said

"Dad I'm all about powder and the park."

ROFLMAO

My kid quotes her Ski the East hoodie and says "why must we be born from ice".

That’s unfortunate. It was always such a classic, east coast bump run in my mind.

Id lap it all day long when I used to ski there.

Sometimes they have to smooth it out..lot of rocks under there..it aint castlerock...

I didn't follow the Cats this weekend. What happened weather wise? How much NCP?

Second hand info from some skiing Plattekill yesterday and today: Today is measurably better.

@snowalrus might be relevant to Belle.

ETA: "Woods are skiable but crunchy."

Hearing from a mountain goer today that the few inches of powder is nice, but there’s a crunchy layer underneath the fresh.

 

[Petronio]

Was there today. Can confirm, about 4-5 inches of fresh powder on top of icy base on the steeps. Trees looked mostly untracked. My daughter had a ball -- but a lot of work for me, I'm more of a cruiser.
