Yep, you can dress him up in red pants, but... Great two days at Platty, think we're taking our act to Gore Sunday, wanna go Rambo? I've got a rain check from Whiteface from last season, should be good at Gore, I'd think. I also have a Warren Miller BOGO, so if you want to go, we could use the BOGO, and I can hit Gore and WF in the Spring. PM me, or give me a call if you're interested. I think Scotty is going to drive to Albany, and leave his beloved Honda there.

Platty was off the charts today. Easily the best day of the season. They got about 8" of heavy wet base making snow that packed down nicely. Everything is in play. 100% open MTB trails, trees are on right now. Come and get it.

That's what I like to hear! Sunday should be fun. Anyone have any experience with the Margaretville motel? My uncle needs a place to stay near Platty tomorrow night.

He usually stays in Kingston when we go to Belleayre, but wanted to find something closer.

Yeah, nothing that looks too appealing. I'll convince him to just stay in Kingston I think. Probably like an hour to Plattekill from Kingston?

Wife mentioned a place Graham and Co in Phoenicia...was on the today show y'day. Looks pretty hipster but 99 night compares reasonably w some of the Kingston options at least. Not sure on availability this wknd.

Mark, are there any *real* bump lines or mostly flat with some random snow piles (which aren't really moguls)?

Lol, Scotty you're the first person I've seen quote themselves in a post. I stayed in Margaretville once, there's a motel across the bridge leaving town, turn left, it's on the right a short distance down whatever route that is. I think I payed right around $60. Someone at the hill recommended the T-bar, but it didn't look to promising.

Shredder, you bump snob :wink:, just kidding, how've the bumps been at Huntah this year? Maybe I'll see you this Spring somewhere. Tmcc71 and I have a two year tradition of skiing Jay on their last day. I know the conditions weren't tempting for you last year, but if they are this, maybe I can pick you up in Albany and we could share expenses. Spring bump season is right around the corner, hopefully Ullr still has work to do. :smile:

Yo Corn! Love the new pic, but that guy has a lot more hair than you - maybe the corn works like Rogaine!? :) Bumps at Huntah (midweek) and Belleayre (mostly Sundays, but went today) have been decent - def hope we can hook up soemtime this spring - hope Gore is good for u 2tomorrow - that was my home mtn in high school! Honed my bump skills as a youngster on on Hawkeye and Chatiemac... thinking of Platty 2morrow but no high hopes for Mark to reply or if he does that he'll say anything that would entice a bump snob :)

I'll be passing through Albany around 7, Scotty's going to meet me there, you're welcome to join us if you like. I was planning on using my Whiteface rain check, but I do have a BOGO we could split, Scotty's got a Pricechopper voucher.

Yeah, I just Googled "cornhead", and this came up, I think Nebraska football fans wear them, similar to Green Bay's "cheese heads". Your just jealous because I put my Son through college on what I've saved on haircuts, shampoo, and conditioner. :wink:

I can remember being at the YMCA wih my boy when he was little, I needed to comb his hair, shockingly I didn't have a comb on me. I asked the person at the counter if they still sold combs, they gave me a puzzled look, I felt like telling them my pubes were getting a little unruly. :smile:
