That is awesome . . . I moved to Pok in 2004 -- is this from when there was a ski hill at Beacon?

It belongs to a friend of a friend who is a local collector and whose family owns another local ghost. Hope to share some more history soon!UM STORY PLEASE. ?
Great day today. Perfect weather. Fast, carve-able groomers. Plenty of soft snow but a firm base beneath.
That said, I only skied one groomer run all day. The boys and I played in the trees, everywhere. Always kept us coming back for more. Had to be on your toes a little, but we had a blast.

Oh, not that I took advantage of it....but here is another condition that applies to skiing time at Platty. None of the ‘one drink’ shenanigans like they have at WF! While I didn’t get a second beer at lunch I could have if I had wanted to. Agreed, if you are only in for 30 minutes you don’t need a second drink!
I get it....at WF/ORDA they limit drinks (and they stopped selling desserts at the Cloudspin) because a second drink or dessert is going to encourage people to stay longer.
Just highlights that businesses have flexibility, based on individual circumstances, in how they comply with applicable COVID operating rules.

Smaller crowds allow more flexibility. I've booted up in my car each day this year, because it makes me feel that I am helping. But the times I've been at Plattekill being inside the lodge didn't feel like a risk.
When I was in Mid at WF early this season there was tons of room. Still true?

The half dozen times we have been in the WF mid, all on holiday weekends, there was tons of room, sparse crowd, plenty of social distance.
Ironically, the upstairs/bar area yesterday at Platty was more crowded (at least on a per capita square footage basis) than the Cloudspin was (both times on a holiday weekend) when we sat and ate there.
