Could the late lack of information mean he might planning to have it someplace other than Sugarloaf for once?
(wishing thinking on my part that it might be someplace reachable by most of the northeastern civilization)

Susan@plattekill we have to reach out to to set up mini a zone at Platty but the owner is interested in doing I know.
What are the lodging options nearby?

Tent? Therein lies the problem. There are some tiny motels along the way, and one fancy wacky looking place nearby, but the closest town with a bunch of lodging is likely Kingston (off 87), but that's a 1 hour drive. Not a dealbreaker I suppose, but not the sort of place where we'd likely find a big hotel where everyone can stay that has a great bar.
But I assure you, everyone on this board would love Plattekill. It's like stepping back into skiing in the 1960s (not that I'd know of course given I wasn't alive, but you know....how I imagine), but in a good way. A bit like MRG, minus any hint of snooty elitism. Great family place. Great locals place.
I wouldn't mind being an hour away if it was just a few people, but a large group it's best to be close by and yes, have a great bar.

Platty is not big enough for a multiday summit, even a mini one, anyway, so whoever plans such a thing would do well do plan lodging near Hunter/Tannersville or Belleyare and ski 2 out of the 3 for a weekend, or all 3 for a long weekend. All 3 mountains are within easy driving distance of each other.

+1 I think this is the best bet. Hotel by Bell flat is only 15 minutes to Platty.
I wouldn't hold your breath. Sugarloaf has been really good to AZ. I dare say there never would have been a summit of this magnitude if it weren't for them stepping up.
As has been said in the past - That's not to say that there couldn't be another summit closer to NY. I know some attempts have been made in VT, but nothing has really worked out so far.
weren't there a bunch of guys at sugarbush a couple years ago?

If we're gonna do Platty and want multi-day, why not do another day or two at the other Catskills' mountains? Belle and Hunter can easily kill a day and both have some fun terrain. Is that a possibility? I know lodging options are much better over towards Hunter.
