Platty not having a good base after this week, i very happy i made it last sunday, Hunter will have a great base and crowds go away any they have good deals now, even Bell looked nice when i drove past it, at platty expert terrian had light base sun hurting, blue runs off triple have nice machine base they might make it to next weekend with a few trails open, i think best kept snow is now going to be Gore White face and north VT ski areas because of cooler temps in higher elevation , Hunter is fun this time of year, too, Gore season pass is being sold now, i put up a link soon in the season pass thread. with skiing for this year at gore.:fangun::fangun::fangun::fangun::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

I'm buying for Gore next season too.

Yeah, they'll be ok. If it's exceptionally warm (or rain), they may lose some trails, but in general the base is wall to wall and deep on most runs.

Unbelievable the difference 2 days of warm temps makes. Whiteface had a few extra closures, and bare spots starting to pop up all over the place. Very depressing.

Sorry about late response, no Platty base had few inches to on black runs off double not much their I do not think they will make it with these temps, maybe some trails with machine base under the triple but inless they have snow again Platty is probably done after this sunny week.:cry::cry::cry::cry: but on drive past Bell looked like nice base from what i saw on the road, Hunter weekends will not be crowed anymore spring and they have made a great base from what i heard, Windham i only did once several years ago. honestly Hunter is what i would do Catskill wise or utah:fangun::fangun::fangun::fangun::fangun::fangun:

Thanks Scotty . My son skied Windham this past weekend said it was ok but will probably be starting to lose it with this weeks blowtorch weather . So we'll probably go to plan B and find something to do in the city instead -- we''ll see

Warp, sorry you could not make to platty with good conditions this winter was not many at all, Bell base looked really good and soft spring corn will be great fun for you and your grand kids, enjoy your runs. Platty put in a lake on top for snow making i guess it's huge, just need water now. Always lots of stuff to do in nyc, do you like in the city, i know of some great burger ever is at Nicks pizza at Columbus Ave and 68st or 72st and Amerstdam ave nicks, pizza and ititialian okay, burger great, also plays chineese food ,if you need any suggest ideas let me know.

Thanx Scotty my son lives in the West 80's a block off the park so we are fairly familiar with The UWS and UES and Mid town and of course the village -- i'll mention some of these places u suggested too .

We already got show show tix so i guess we'll be staying intown rather than hitting the Cats -------------there's always next yr :D

Thanx again !

That's right where I live too! For affordable family (dog themed) restaurant in the neighborhood, I'd add Fred's to that list (83rd/Amsterdam). And don't forget Danny Meyer's Shake Shack (78th/Columbus) if you want to put down some tasty and unhealthy food.

Have you been to Nicks yet for Buger's are great, and cheap very good chineese lunch special at Empire Grill fried dumplings are the best i ever had at 69 st and Columbus ave. Across the street from my boss store Wink.http://www.empiretogo.com/Location.tpl

I'm starting to get really nervous about my Saturday Killington/Sunday Mount Snow plans. Will there be anything but slush left by the time we get there??

I think Mount Snow made enough snow yo get through this weekend, i don't know how long the ski areas will last, hope they make it to April.

Ugh, the only thing worse than this weather is just how much all the fair weather Floridian wannabes are gloating about it. 70 Degrees? Ick. I love me some spring skiing but 70s ain't corn, 70s is a pure and total slush bomb. This might be one spring skiing weekend in which I get to the mountain as early as possible. If it doesn't freeze overnight and goes into the 70s multiple days, the skiing isn't going to be very good. :(
