When you say 'drop' how much of a drop are we talking about? I can handle a few feet, but if you're talking a 10'+ cliffline, yeah, F that.

Nah, nothing serious.

Snow reports from the catskills folks makes this girl really happy :):)

My skiing gal pal has a BOGO coupon, so I think we're set on the $ for lifts.

2 or 3" in the 23a valley.. still snowing..

Plattekill updated that it has 2" so far just a few minutes ago. This will probably be one of the times where Hunter and Windham do slightly better since the farther east you go the better with this path, but the model guidance suggests 6" is possible by tomorrow and if they already have 1/3 of that it wouldnt shock me if they do a bit better.

Headed to Platty also? My pal and I will be there, hit me up.

I live in Hunter Mountain and I have to work so - I'm hitting the lift here when it opens before my first meeting at 10:30...

Thinking about hitting Platty this weekend maybe...

I might go tomorrow if they get enough snow. If not, Hunter maybe.

If you're coming from the north take I-88 then Rt 30 from the schoharie exit. Its fast and a nice drive.

Who says Jersey skiers don't contribute to the local economy?

Not this one.

I have the best radar detector on the market, can simultaneously track 6 different police cars. Had paid for itself many times over, including tonight going >75 in a 55 in Albany.
