I felt the same way during my 1st trip to Platty a year ago. The Lodge vibe was great right down to the guy playing the bag pipes on the deck!

Not to hijack the thread, but since we are discussing ski tuning I've always wondered, when scraping wax before brushing, how much do you scrape off? Till you don't get anymore?

Excellent! This is what it's all about - passing down a good family sport from generation to generation. Did it with my kids and now I look forward to doing it with my grandchildren!

Can't say that I remember that place. I just remember three main bars.

Skied there for the 1st time last year the last day they were open. Outstanding relaxed vibe, nice straight down the fall line steep stuff and great trails in between. Def park in the upper lot because the place is built on a hill. I went to college at Delhi which is just to the west, in the...

Was there on Friday and the conditions were outstanding! Skied a lot on the west side and the skiers left of claires was great all day. The flyer was also stopping a lot and I think that's why they fired up the F lift on a weekday.

Ah yes, I was there that day. The West Side Z lift I think it was, was a zoo!

Hunter Rocks!

I've been tuning and waxing for a long time, but the one thing that I never quite got the hang of is how much to scrape off. At 1st I was scraping until I wasn't getting too much more off. After and while I realized that maybe I was taking too much and now I only make 3 or 4 passes. Anyone have...

Was trying to watch it at my desk and not make a scene, I was so excited for her! Move over Lindsay!
