I did not have high hopes for today; Hunter yesterday was a lesson in finding terrain not sun baked and crusty. Settled for some good bumps on Clairs.

I should have been more optimistic. Platty got 6" last night and the skiing including trees was just great:

Nice bumps on Clairs yesterday at Hunter:

This past week has been just amazing in the Catskills. I'll be at Belleayre the next 2 days.

Nice! I was there Saturday. Groomers were awesome. Un-groomed and trees were chunky. A little better in the PM after some traffic, but still, a great day.

Looks like you guys got the best of the weekend for sure - nice!

Great day! My best day this year outside of a trip to Taos. Sun is really strong this time of year and was already doing some damage, so we'll have to see how long it lasts.

Glad I made the trip down there...Very fun hill to ski and the conditions were great. Nice to meet some new Zoners and ski with Jim G again after many years. I'd love to check it out again after a big dump when hopefully the sun won't kill the woods after 11 am.

Sunday turned out to be a great day. I think the first time I skied with you was one of the very first AZ gatherings.

Platty really delivered.
