Nor easters actually hurt Plattekill. All the trails off the double face northeast. I've been there before when Hunter was going off, but all Platt's snow was wind blown.

Yes, the same thing has happened to me (and I'm not bluffing - the place doesn't get enough people for me to worry about) a couple of years ago. There was a major storm that dumped over a foot in general. Problem was, with all of the wind, there was a mixture of rocks/almost no snow followed by 3 foot snow drifts, etc. Even the woods had drifts to a lesser extant.

I will be there and take pics. 2-3 feet is the same no matter which direction you face.

Plattekill I believe. Windham and Belleayre are full of it, but I'll give them a foot and a half (truth)...

Belleayre got between a foot and a half and two feet (maybe even more), and it was still snowing when I left at 430. Some spots the drifts were DEEP.

Belleayre is only claiming 12" on their website. I am sure it will be updated in the morning, to what they actually got. As long as Cathedral Brook is open and good, I really don't care what the number is. I am there in 11 hours.

But with the storm pulling away, it's probably howling out of the NW, which is good for Plattekill. Check out the radar picture and note the bands of lake effect erupting off of the Finger Lakes. Definitely a NW or NNW wind.
I'll be at Plattekill tomorrow if anyone wants to meet up.

Plattekill was outstanding!! Chute, Blockbuster, and Freefall were the trails of the day. Woods were good but slow with the heavy powder. Everything gets groomed tonight to hold the snow. It was great to go from no base to that much in one storm. I would say that Platt is the mountain to be at this week to avoid the crowds.

Looks like we are going to hit Hunter. It's closer for a day trip and I can't use my place next to belleayre..the inlaws will be infesting it.
