Never been there either. Where do you see 50? Their site says you have to buy a card similar to Stowe and its 69 bucks for 1 day

That means you're normal.
One of my favorite weekends, and my gf's least favorite. Funny how different folks perceive it differently.
I use the skiridefree 3 gas fill-up thing at Platty, makes the tickets $29.50 each.

Well I guess it's narrowed down to platty or berkshire east. 44 for platty or 60 for beast

Is Platty better enough to justify the longer drive?

Crex, you've been to both recently, what do you think?

B-east afternoon tickets are $40 starting at 12:45
it's $5 more to add night skiing and they are open till 10 pm on Saturdays so you can still get in a good day of skiing if you don't mind sleeping in
The Crazy Horse at B-east has great beer on tap and good food

Unfortunately I think I'd have to do it during the day as I'm leaving the gf at home and I'm sure she's going to want to do something that night

Both are great mountains and you'll likely be back to whichever you choose. If you have to meet up with the gf that night I would go to whichever is closer. If the gf is not going to be a long term thing I would go to Platty. ;-)

So it looks like I'll be heading to platty on Saturday. Never been, is there anything in particular I should check out?

Ask for the mountain bike map. Or find it online and print it out.

Definitely do that. The bike trails are awesome. Just watch out for drops and kickers and whatnot. They aren't always labeled and some are fairly tall. I went off one that was like 5 or 6 feet and ended up with way too much speed after landing. I ended up bouncing off a couple bumps on my ass to keep from hitting a tree. It was fun though!

Unfortunately there's a layer of crust over the snow in the woods : (
