Do it , MacCauley is the real deal. If you like bumps make sure to try HELMERS its right under the lift ,you see some seriously good kids skiing it

I saw some young guy from the chair at Platty over the weekend, so effortless, so powerful, I was so envious. Oh well, hopefully I come back in my next life to skiing parents.

I was just going to ask what is wrong with this picture, but this thread explains it. It's too bad it can't get as far as Whiteface. I'd be there in a NY minute.

Here's one to blow your mind. Or make you cry.

McCauley currently closed and not reporting new snow. I wonder if they picked anything up?

Wish that last Map didn't cut off the snow fall East of Lowville. I'm trying to figure out if any of that snow blew much into the Western ADKs past Tug hill.

I was hoping to ski McCauley tomorrow, and then possibly hit Gore Thursday, I bought the ISKINY voucher for Gore for $12, but I'm willing to eat it to ski some pow. Looks like I may be skiing Snow Ridge yet again, alright by me! I think I should start looking at property up there.:razz:

Cornhead you are starting to convince me.. I got in on a Plattekill voucher for ISKINY, but might think about hitting McCauley instead and eat the $12. It was gonna be my first time trying Plattekill too. McCauley will be open Thurs, they just closed mon and tues.

Did McCauley get much of the Lake effect?

Don't know, but they will be open tomorrow to give a snow report. This is gonna be a game time decision.

Snow Ridge actually is a bit closer of a drive for me, and they most definitely will get more.

Would love a report back if you go!

watkin · Jan 7, 2014

"If" I do... Just re mapped the drive, Mccauley is only 15 min longer, so they are both back in it. Just got to see what the LE delivers.

Oh its delivering.

Huck_It_Baby · Jan 7, 2014

Taking this image with a grain of salt McCauley is just on the outer reaches of 5-8 inches.

watkin · Jan 7, 2014

hmmm yea not the feet that i was anticipating. radar is showing nothing for old forge at the moment either.

Ski Snow Ridge, if they get as much as they're calling for, it'll be an experience you'll never forget...trust me. Platty will suck, everything on the good trails is gone after the 50 degree weather we just had. I was shocked at the web cam pic someone posted here on my TR from Fri/Sat.

Looking a little better today, they got a little LES, not much though.

Platty got hit hard with rain the other day I would day skip it.

NWS corroborates Huck it's map

watkin · Jan 7, 2014

Yea, either one of these is looking like what I will do. There may be an outside chance that I can get my $12 refunded from Plattekill as well. I saw that webcam image too, sooo depressing.

Go get some, Cornhead!

My new business venture is snow harvesting. Take from those that don't want it and bring it to those who do.
