Plattekill might not be a terrible option, if you want to ski in the Catskills this weekend....at least compared to the alternatives.

Hunter was empty today. And conditions were great to boot.

Looked at the report for tomorrow...

Every single lift on the mountain turning, 4.5/6 on the West Side, only upper 42nd and the glades closed on the main face, and Highlands and all but one trail on E lift open...

Hunter was good today, didn't ever have to wait more than 5 min in line and although they only recieved 2" in the past 24 hour, they're was nice pockets of powder all over the place.

I'm sorry, you must be new to forums :lol: :wink: I owe you a beer.

Hunter's gotten a bad rap for crowds, I don't know since I just started going there, maybe it was like that once, but crowds aren't bad. The main thing you want to do is get there as early as you can. Most folks don't bother starting until 11 and 12. By then you could get some really good runs in.

And then they all go in for lunch, which keeps crowds down as well. Then, when you hit "peak time" around 2PM, is when you should actually go in for lunch. By the time you come back out, people will have already started leaving and crowds will be going back down.
