I was there yesterday as well, really nice day. Did it really get into the 20s? Felt like it, but forecast only called for a high of 12. Anyway, I put a trip report with pics here: http://www.nyskiblog.com/p/harvey-road-forum.html#nabble-td2315850 . Sorry as per rules of the Plattekill Challenge, I can't put same TR on another site. Already won 2 free lift tix, working on the next two

Here's one pic from yesterday, great day!

Main reason was to level out the snowmaking whales and press down some of the natural into base. You will like it in late march when you are zipperlineing soft bumps when it is 55 degrees. The mountain is in excellent shape right now. Best it has been in years.

I like Plattekill more than Belleayer. So I drive the extra 20 minutes to get there, figure the extra drive time would be more than paid back by not having any lift lines.

Mid-week, when Plattekill is closed, Bellearye is my choice. Or Hunter, if I can score a deal.

Even when its bad its good...
And when its good its spectacular...
For whatever reason I always have a good day at Plattekill. It is my standard for Fridays, other midweek days I go to Hunter.

I believe the $15 deal was only for mid-week.

Plattekill is to Belleayre as Sugarbush is to Killington...

Totally worth the extra drive...
