Plattekill Conditions

[TheGreatAbyss]

Email a few days ago targeting this date for opening.

Thanks Harvey,. I think I'll keep my options open and call it as the time gets closer.

If Plattekill sticks to form from the last several years they will start with Face, and "the S."

The S is Sundown and Shredded Mozzarella. Face is divided into Upper and Lower Face. That is essentially three blue trails: Sundown, Shredded and Lower Face, and one black Upper Face.

Next they tend to go towards Powder Puff, the long green, as it is crucial for Christmas.

After that I'm not 100% sure what happens, but I am going to lobby for Plunge, testing out the new pipes. ?

Also in my experience it seems they start blowing the first cold days in December, maybe around the 7th? I'm not sure, and I will reach out and see if they can add to, or correct what I just said.

With all due respect
I think it’s crazy to blow knowing the upcoming weather

Ya gotta start sometime. A lot of places blew snow last night.
Doesn’t look to be cold unfortunately for a bit but practice and checking things out under load can help when forecast is more favorable.

They did just get a new compressor. Could be a trial run and see how things go.

This criticism may or may not be valid, not commenting on that. It should be directed at all the mountains blowing not just one. Many are going after it now.
