1600' vert black diamond with no easier way out. it is a fun trail and it is getting pipe for this season

Looks like a fun trail. Too bad I was there during the blowtorch in March, and the grass was showing.

Sounds like Tramline or Kinsman Glade at Cannon. Imagine what Tramline would be like with a manmade base!

Yup, saw that PR and posted it here as well, I've yet to ski a NY mountain !!! Gotta get out there!

Would snowmaking on Tramiline realistically be doable without rock blasting the character out of what appears (I've never skied it) to make that trail great?

If you're arguing just leaving it alone and running pipes up the side and blowing snow over all the rock debris, keep in mind that activity might raise my taxes a few pennies a year you anti-environment, pro-development masshole!!!!!!

Platty is a must for Ny hill not to far from CT.

Settle down Threecy wannabe. :-DNo change to the trail. Just run pipes up the side. A man made base would make it skiable more often.

I am finally getting out to NY (Whiteface, Gore and a day at Titus) this year - glad they knew I was coming and added some snowmaking.

Thanks for the link freeskier! Just to be clear our piece wasn't done from the press release, but from direct conversation with Whiteface mgmt.

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl so it so close but if your ever in or near Kingston NY , it less then an hour to Platty,and on weekends is never really crowed hope for more snow this year for all of us.

I think Tramline is a step above in challenge/terrain than Hoyt's to be fair. Kinsman is a glade and not really comparable outside of fallline specifically.

Good things though, they (Whiteface) have needed this to make the expansion truely worth it IMO.
