Plattekill Conditions

[billyb3]

Things were pretty good on Saturday; snowed on and off all day! Woods were fun as long as you weren't the first person thorough a section...otherwise, kinds of a lot of work (but doable).

Nice. I saw tree pictures from various skiers, good ones granted but it's a start. Get in there!

 

[JTG]

Roger that.

Much to my chagrin....my son likes to ski where it’s already been skied in the trees, so he’ll be happy with doing that. Of course, I’m sure we’ll test the waters and ski in a few new lines, hopefully.

Exploring and finding untracked in the trees. It is NOT unpleasant! Not heavy enough here to break through the underlying crust either, but the 5 or so inches on top has it skiable.

Be interested to know where else in eastern NY there is tree skiing.

Not lift served but the Hudson Highlands have great conditions right now

I was super impressed with Labyrinth and Alsos glades at Greek. A bit of mini-MRG in central New York!

Victor then too I'd assume.

The river has a warming effect. It funnels warm air up the valley. The conditions are usually better more inland on the outer reefs. Always better up on the Fahnstock plateau. The sun is starting to cook it. Still some soft pow in the shade.
