Stuart talks to Danielle and Laszlo of Plattekill

[tirolski]

I got to ski all four of the Catskill areas in two days this last season.

And ya got to ride yer bike there and back too.

 

[Peter Minde]

I can't speak to the winter vibe, but Platty was really beautiful when I was there in June. Great location.

At one time Plattekill had "the longest, highest, continuous vertical rise, T-bar that was left operating in the country".

At one time Plattekill had "the longest, highest, continuous vertical rise, T-bar that was left operating in the country".

That T-bar was a real ass kicker, especially depending on the snow conditions on Northface. Learned real quick to do it in the morning if you were skiing all day not in the afternoon.Alot of people really didn't understand how to use it properly and seemed like every time there were 1 or 2 people on the way up that got chucked off!

Dang boarders.

One thing I like fantasizing about is the expansion between Overlook and Ridge Run.

There are some hand-painted signs along what seem to be basically hiking trails over there, I saw them while hiking the mountain on Sunday. Are those left over from the mountain biking days?

 

[Brownski]

Yes
They’re not officially trails in winter

 

[Harvey]

I want that area to stay wooded

I mean I do too.

I say two t2b tbars and two ways down, ridge run, overlook, north face, plunge, and powder puff... all the rest is trees.

I was trying to be excited about what is likely inevitable. It would be so cool if he would glade it the way magic does.

Laz has survived by moving forward relentlessly. I don't see that changing.

In fact Matt is like turbo charging it. Did you hear that podcast? A 500 foot hose to put snow on the bottom of I Think I Can. Woah man!
