Plattekill Conditions

[Harvey]

I assume this would only work if it was OK'd by them...

?

Laz has been pretty clear about this when I spoke to him. You need pass, seasons or day, to skin.

So is there a way to get it ok’d by them....if, say, someone did have a season pass, or if a bunch of us pooled together some $$$ and wanted to “rent the mountain” for the day...if the hill wasn’t going to be otherwise open?

Seriously, if there’s a bunch of snow...and Laz won’t be in a position to spin lifts...and we wouldn’t get in their way...I’d be willing to chip in several hundred bucks to put some money in Laz’s pocket and get a NYSB meet up happening. Maybe I’m not the only one who feels that way?

It is $4500. plus 8% sales tax to rent Plattekill for a day, Mon-Thurs. Just set up a meet on a Friday and don't worry about trying to get commitments and money from people.

Ummm.....I’m not just trying to set up a random NYSB meet, which you are right...we could do any Friday.

I’m looking for a win-win solution for a very unique set of circumstances. A mountain that isn’t ready to spin the lifts until Saturday, with potentially a major storm dumping snow for Thursday. I know what the normal rental is and no, I don’t want to rent the hill for that kind of scratch with no lifts/no services. But maybe there are other solutions?

Hey, we all know darn well that if 18 inches of snow falls into Thursday that someone is going to be cutting up that powder on Thursday and/or Friday, before the hill opens to guests on Sat....and I’d just love to be able to be one of the peeps that carves some of those turns. I don’t mind earning them, or even finding a way to put money in Laz’s pocket....or heck, I’ll even work for turns if they need volunteers to get anything ready for Saturday!

A year or two ago, when there was a really early storm way before their anticipated opening, I asked and was allowed to skin at Plattekill for no charge. I can't imagine they want anyone earning turns a day or two before they open to the general public for opening day, although I'm sure a select few (Riley?) will be allowed to do so. But I would be in for paying $50 or so to earn turns on Friday if there were enough others on board to make it worth Laszlo's while.

There were 2 dumps last year the week before he opened on a Sat. It was 2' of fresh for opening day.

Plus, it seems like 7" is a whole hell of a lot more likely thank 18" in the Cats...although it keeps changing.

If I wasn’t otherwise obligated for the day I suppose I should just settle for Saturday, but there’s no harm in trying to get at it before then. You know someone is going to....

What a great set-up for their opening weekend, and for us skiers! I'm super curious in general how getting permission and paying if needed to earn turns on non-operating days would work. I don't have a season pass. If there were a way, I'd be in. Maybe I'll reach out earlier next week? Windham has an uphill season pass that jumped from $50 to $90 for this season. Worth it for sunup-sundown access imo.

Hello guys there, I was curious about this and would come on Friday to skin and ski if that would work out somehow ! Definitely there on Saturday if nothing ...
