Date(s) Skied: 2/14/15
Resort or Ski Area: Plattekill, Roxbury, NY
Conditions: Powder, Cut up Powder
Trip Report: Another stellar day at Platty, snowed nonstop all day, very fine snow, cleaned a couple inches off my car when I left. Everything skied great, tons of fresh snow in the trees, soft powder bumps everywhere else. Skied with fellow AZer's Scotty, JimG, and his Son. We hooked up with Benedict Gomez towards the end of the day. I made a couple runs with him, but then got separated from the group while exploring some trees.

Sweet. Can you take a look at your1923 road atlas for me? How far is Plattekill from Lee, MA.

For some reason Platty isn't on my 1923 map. In fact I can't find any ski areas on the map. Guess you'll have to find out yourself. Think you can handle it?

Westchester County, NY and a Mountain near you!
It's about an hour from the Kingston exit off 87. It is definitely worth the trip, DHS!! Let let me know when you come and I will show you the goods. Good to see you again, Cornhead. Missed you this time around, Jim and Scott.

You can take the girl out of Brooklyn, but you can't take the Brooklyn out of her.

Thanks Marc! I maybe out in Western MA for work in a couple weeks. If so, perhaps I'll stick around for a Saturday there.

Really a great day. I figured I would have a Sugarloaf hangover but the numerous pockets of untouched powder made the skiing pretty spectacular. My last run down the right edge of the airbag jump over by the triple was almost untouched powder at 3:30.

Woods were fun today. Great company. Nice to meet you BG.
