Not sure that was worth it for them. I checked the Web Cam several times today and only saw one person and maybe two pair of skis in the racks. Yesterday was great though.

Or you could go any Friday, not pay much more, and still have the place to yourself.

Mostly true I suppose.
Haven't been to Platty on a Friday since 2013, but the last one I was at was a powder day, so it wasnt quite empty.

The "food thread" got me thinking, has anyone noticed the usually outstanding bar lunch food at Platty hasn't been great this year?
What happened to that 20'something guy who took so much pride in his lunches, they need him back. The last two weekends I've been there the menu was literally exactly the same (pulled pork sandwich (which tasted like a salty peppercorn, and that's coming from someone who likes salt & pepper), chicken quesadillas, Chili bread bowl). The chicken quesadillas were decent, but the food in year's past was way, way better and more advanced. Your side used to be something like a generous portion of potato salad with bacon, now it's this 1 oz plastic cup with about 2 bites of macaroni. Going directly from things like freshly hand carved roast beef sandwiches with au jus to..... this, is pretty disappointing. lol

I noticed. But the reality was that eating a grilled steak sandwich with chimichurri sauce really wasn't the best for my afternoon skiing. Been sticking to a bowl of chili (and an IPA) and don't feel (as) stuffed after lunch.
Hopefully this Friday, snow should still be good.

Do you guys prefer skiing/boarding in the Catskills to heading up to Vermont/NH/Maine?

I can't do VT as a day trip. I guess I could but it would be a lot of driving for a day of skiing.
Catskills are a day trip for me, anything further north is an overnight.

I hear you there. The farthest we try and go for a day trip is about 3 hours each way or less. It is about 2 hours and 15 or so to Mount Snow from where I live. However, driving home in the snow on Saturday took us 4 and a half hours!

I'm in the exact same situation.
If I had a transporter, my eastern skiing would be central & northern Vermont and ADK only.
Depends. Last weekend I was at Gore which is 3 hours from home. First full weekend March it's back to Gore and weekend after that it's Jay Peak for 3 days. Then 3 days at Stowe weekend after that.
Gonna stay close to home (1.5-2 hours) this week/weekend. Cats suit me best for day trips.

I have never been to Stowe or Jay Peak. I really want to go to both places. Neither of them is a day trip though. Even for me in MA, Stowe is about 3 hrs and 45 and Jay Peak is just over 4 hrs (according to Google Maps).
Stowe 5 hours, Jay 6 for me...3 night 3 ski day minimum.
4.5 to Whiteface, Sugarbush, MRG...2 night 2 ski day minimum.
Killington, Gore 3 hours...2 ski day with overnight preferred, will daytrip if warranted.
Cats-everything 1.5-2 hours and all daytrips.
