Plattekill Conditions

Adding that by the afternoon temps were around 33/34 and everything was getting wet and heavy

grooming North Face and Plunge,

Did they groom ALL of Plunge?

Did you ski Ridge Run or Twist?

Did they groom ALL of Plunge?

Most of plunge. Skiers left was not, but it was maybe 6 feet wide of ungroomed at the widest. Definitely disappointing for a place that's supposed to be the "Alta of the East". They should just groom off the triple and leave double untouched on big pow days IMHO

Solid powder day over not a ton of base. Definitely higher density base building stuff. I’ve seen them groom in a similar fashion under similar circumstances. Now f it was 20” perhaps maybe a different story

Stop the brutal grooming!

Still not sure, did they groom all of the LOWER HALF below the GS turn out?

 

[TheGreatAbyss]

Hmmm maybe they didn't groom that part? Snow was already pushed around by the time I bothered to do it. They definitely groomed at least some of it, and I wish they didn't.

I'm thinking of hitting Plattekill for the first time Friday. I usually ride Windham, as we've had a house there since 1984, but it looks like Friday might be a good time to make the drive. I generally ride fast and "surfy" with deep carving turns, seek out soft fresh snow, powder, and trees when available, and can handle technical steeps. Moguls not preferred. I split the very end of last season with a great day at Belleayre April 1st and a surprising rebound back at Windham when it recovered April 2nd. Snowboarder if that wasn't obvious. Not looking for the secrets, but any insight welcome. Thanks!
