I make no claims that my presence improves any experience.

Besides the awesomeness of Platty and the complete lack of liftlines, sunshine and corn will be on tap.

Plus I am under the impression that I will meet the legend ScottySkis.

Unfortunately Mother Nature has other plans for springtime weather in early April here at Platty - we had 8-10" of snow Monday and trails are still deep. Weekend forecast is for more snow possible + temps in 30s, We will not be open this weekend as scheduled. Bike Park will re-open NEXT SATURDAY April 16 at 10am. Hope to see you here! #plattekill #timeformtb
I wonder if we can buy the mountain for this weekend for one day if they consider it they got half foot last weekend and few people deffinly skied their.

It may have been enjoyed by a select few. It really depends on the forecast this weekend. I highly doubt skiing operations will resume but the double has a habit of turning when the white stuff falls.

I tapped out on the season after my whistler trip. There may be some base left on the skiers left of northface but nothing lift served unless mother nature really delivers. Even then it will be difficult to get there from the lift.

If you looking to tackle the Catskill Challenge you should come to the 1st annual NY Outdoor Expo, at Plattekill Mountain in Roxbury, NY. The Expo takes place on July 9th, and features licensed guides, outfitters, recreation & conservation organizations. All here to help you discover where, and how to enjoy exploring the beautiful treasures of the Catskills.

New snowmaking pipes for Blockbuster their main steepest trail their in Platty parking lot . piping picture is posted from the owner of Platty. I think he posted it on Facebook hopefully soon. I think looks sick. In best way possible. I definitely think customer's will notice positive reaction!😂

New #snowmaking pipe just received for the "Buckle Up" connection to "Blockbuster" which was opened last year by stringing together 3000' of snow hose. Very exciting! #plattekill #roxburyny #skiing #snowboarding
