I taught all 3 of my kids to tele when they were young. They love being part of tele and keeping it alive and well. It caught their interest early since they would be skiing among groups of talented tele skiers. Now they are out spreading the gospel. If you want to find a higher number of tele...

Platty was awesome. The coverage was great everywhere. Not a scratch on my skis, just a huge smile on my face (and some powder)

I believe you are correct, it was originally about getting after it while it was open

I was told Plattekill goes on sale next weekend.

I'm going to put a Plattekill This Way sign at the Belleayre access road. That should fix it.

Bring your patience. There have been multiple times this year where I have been four or five people deep on the triple lift line. Also, I have occasionally had to share the trail with other skiers.

It is about 10.5 days on full price tickets if you buy in the spring.

I was a long time pass holder at Plattekill (me plus 3 kids). The price, as with all prices, has been rising steadily. Love everything about Platty but this year I did not go for the season passes. Last year I did ok (11 days for me) but with this year's increase it didn't make sense to lock...

I stayed at the Hyde Away many times. Food is good, rooms are ok. The chicken wings confit are awesome. Bar is fun and you can't beat not having to drive when you are done.

Great day at Plattekill Saturday. I am in the deck picture. I am the guy in the green tie dye.

Date(s) Skied: 01/21/12 Resort or Ski Area: Plattekill Conditions: Powder Trip Report: Another great day at Plattekill. A few inches goes a long way. Not as great as last weekend when a little hiking produced big results. But we had soft snow most of the day. Once again Plattekill turned a...

Great day at Plattekill. Light crowd, main mountain was scraped off early. A little effort paid off big. Boot deep powder on the double side of the mountain was fantasitic. Everything skied well until late in the day.
