Platty 🏂🎿😃 sweet hill in West Cats NY

[Jersey Skier]

Not this one.

I have the best radar detector on the market, can simultaneously track 6 different police cars. Had paid for itself many times over, including tonight going >75 in a 55 in Albany.

Which one? Might need this for a few years now. The rest of that trip was torture trying to stay anywhere near the speed limit.

Just drive the speed limit on back roads..
Too many cops and animals out..

Can't wait to get to Platty tomorrow. 8-10" !!

Pic is from this morning's pre-work tour in the woods. Snow looks heavy and wet but it is actually light and fluffy. Heavier would have been better since there was no base in the local woods.

You guys missed some seriously crazy shit powder today!!! Being from SE Idaho, I'll admit I'm still a bit of a snow snob, and this snow was impeccable! My pals and I got there for first chair, and we had the place to ourselves most of the day. Untracked all over until 11 easily. Mostly about a foot all over, but there were definitely some knee+ deep pockets. Pretty funny watching one of my buddies who had never boarded in powder










Cheese! (Or steeze? Dunno...)

So..... I have to say this, although Platty is hands down the coolest hill I've been to so far, as far as atmosphere and people, I just have to question the validity of their run classifications. Those were some seriously 'non-black' blacks/doubles - I'm not an expert skier, and I've only ventured down a double once, and it was a cliffline out west....

what gives?
