A TON of new SNOWMAKING added to "Shredded Mozzarella" trail, because we're going to BURRY it with snow and make an ALL NEW TERRAIN PARK! 1900 feet of pipe and 21 guns - we're calling it the "21 Gun Salute" to our New Park!

Well that stinks. That was one of my favorite trails to fly on. Not only that, but I hope Platty doesn't start doing the dopey, parks all over the place thing.

Honestly, the park they had on Lower Face was the most logical place for a park anywhere on the mountain, but practically nobody flipping used it anyway. It's typically a bunch of unsupervised 8-12 year olds acting dangerously by congregating in the landing areas.

Great film. My only critique is that I wish it went a little more in-depth on snow-making itself.

Very cheap Facebook ski the east take over Platty
Good morning everyone! I've got news you've all been waiting for! Ticket sales for the Plattekill mountain takeover on Feb. 10th are live!!! We're only selling 500, so get them fast! We're still working out some details, but what I know for sure is, there will be advanced skill clinics for moguls, trees, and tele. Gilson will be there with their demo fleet! We have a pair of J skis, and a Gilson snowboard, and some awesome art pieces to raffle off so far! Totally Submerged will be playing for Apres! AND all of the money goes to the Adaptive sports Foundation!!! We've still got 5 months to go, if you're looking to get involved with a sponsorship or donation we've got plenty of time to work something out, just drop me a comment or dm. Let's keep the shred alive, we've almost made it through summer, we could be skiing Killy in just a month if mother nature cooperates!

Close enough for me just don’t know where I’ll be, got 3 weeks of vacay saved exclusively for ski trips, only one booked so far is the annual Smuggs MLK week trip, looking to hit Colorado for a week not sure which one yet and maybe Tahoe?

I just wish Platty was closer...It's about 30 minutes further than Windham and 40 minutes further than Hunter. So I'm looking at almost three hours each direction. I do Hunter and Windham day trips and while it's fun, it's a haul so adding another hour+ round trip isn't something I'm looking forward to.
