This Saturday March 27th on the lower face. http://www.plattekill.com/winter/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=134&Itemid=69 They will be seeding a bump course on the lower face with a big air jump at the finish line.

In this thread I noticed a few of you recommend Burke. This is one of the few mountains in the northeast that I have not heard much about. What is there to know about Burke?

Which mountain(s) will you make your turns at this holiday week. I will be at Plattekill for the next 10 days or so. Possibly a Windham or Belleayre day mixed in.

I know there are not a lot of terrain park lovers on this board but what is everybody's favorite feature in a park? I personally am a fan of step downs but enjoy a variety of features. I have not gotten into rails that much.

This is why you don't mix jagermeister, PBR, a plastic sled, fire and a bunch of Plattekill mountain bikers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkydF3yL5Ww

It looks like todays weather got the best of Mad River Glenn. They have decided to close for today and from the looks of it possible for longer. It did not look that bad when I drove by there yesterday. Hopefully this warm spell and liquid precipitation will end with cold and snow soon...

For all of you Hunter sliders out there if they were going to make snow on either Westway or Annapurna which one would you choose? I would have to go with purna.

I just picked up a Burton Canyon 162 for $30. I figure It will make a great rock board. It does have a very small hairline crack of the core near the tail of the board. The top sheet is lifting up just a bit. Pics to follow later. The edge near the crack is not bent at all but I am afraid if...

This Saturday night is the annual Plattekill Mountain ski patrol dinner. If you are going to be in the Catskills come out and support the patrol at Plattekill. Dinner is only $10 and is catered by Brooks BBQ chicken. There will be live music, raffles, and a torchlight parade. All proceeds to...

I am looking to pick up a new (used) board. I am torn between the burton canyon that I have been drooling over since 2003 (the one with the eye graffix) or this years never summer legacy demo. Any input?

I know a lot of snowboarders out there despise bumps and will go around them at all costs. I happen to enjoy bumping on a snowboard, however I don’t see many other snowboarders try and tackle moguls. Anybody else out there like to charge a bump line?

Weather: blue sky and warm about 35-40 Equipment: Ride Yukon 164 After an epic east coast day at Plattekill yesterday I hopped on a plane to new mexico this morning. Got in to Santa Fe at around 2pm local time and headed up to Ski Santa Fe. I got to the mountain at around 2:45 and jumped on...

Steeps? Cursers? Park? The hell with the corduroy duck into the trees? Grooming Sucks? I personally like to hit up a groomed steep and lay down some GS carves.

Sometime in February I am going to be taking a trip to Santa Fe. Among other things I would like to get a decent amount of riding in. Does anybody have any opinions on the resorts out there? For obvious reasons Taos is out. How are some of the other resorts in the area: Ski Santa Fe, Angle...

I am very impressed with the recent snowmaking effort. From the webcam and pic of the day today it looks as if there is decent coverage on the face. In previous years this would have taken the good portion of a week under prime conditions. They have laid down this cover in 2 ½ days. The new...
