I'm bringing my rock skis for some guilt free poaching. :wink: marcski, hope you can stick around for some turns on Sunday, if not we'll have to hook up at Platty some other time, Powder Daize? When the hell was the last one? Three years ago? I've yet to have the pleasure.

They reported 9" to 10" in the last 24 hours from this Lake Effect, and yet only opened 3 trails? (from 20 to 23)

Has anyone been there recently? I mean, good Lord, how bad was it? I'm pretty shocked this didnt get them close to 100%, something like 33/34 out of 38.

Westchester County, NY and a Mountain near you!
I was there Sat-Tuesday. It got better every day. I was skiing around some ropes (ducking ropes is just rude!) and the turns were nice on the natural snow...obstacles were readily observable. The snowmaking trails were skiing fantastically. We were going to be back both days this weekend with the snow..but now that it kind of flustered out...not sure yet.

From past years experience at Platty they usually don't need much to get everything open. I bet Sunday will be pretty dam good.

I'm thinking of being there tomorrow. Torn between Bellayre and Platty. My wife is a intermediate so I wasn't sure if Platty is appropriate. But let me know if you'll be there so we can get some turns in.

I know, I just found out by going in today, they made a mistake and couldn't release the code to sell the ticket. I was there for over 30 minutes, they said it wasn't supposed to be.on the website unto this Sunday, I had to show them my phone because they didn't even kn ow about it, and head clerk called her manager and figured it out. I was annoyed but I know in Onetta NY we I staYing Saturday night their is a price chopper open 24 hours were I confirmed that I can buy the tickets in the morning. I know.potterbrothers store in Kingston sells discounted tickets to all the Catskills and open at 8am, I am sorry it really ot BS.

On reading the message, I called one of the Price Shoppers at Newburgh. They gave me the code:

For the $29 one (good for Plattekill), the code is 36016.
For the $59 one (good for Gore/Whiteface) the code is 36015.

I'll definitely hit Platty one of the 2 days, most likely Sunday. Bright red Jacket, dark red (or black, if it's warm) pants, silver gray helmet. Will try to look you guys up for a few turns.

Nice, the one on Middletown was not very smart I guess.

What are those codes about? I assume you still need to make that purchase inside a Price Chopper?

I know all the price choppers are open 24 hours a day, just do not go to the Middletown onei think their is one in Kingston.
The code is because they were supposed to advertise or sell it to Sunday hopefully the store you go to has more.common sense then the one I went to tonight.
