harvey recruits a few nyski bloggers and we're practically halfway to 25...the more folks we get the cheaper it becomes...i think we'd have to cap it at 100 to keep it a nice homey feel :)

if we get enough people (25 minimum-100 max) who are serious about this i will throw it on my card...it would be a hell of an experience...maybe we should start a thread in the trip forum...thinking with their limited snowmaking later in the season would be better conditions-wise...wonder how much advance notice they need...maybe we can identify a window and then check the long range forecast when the time gets neaerer to secure a day with prime conditions

They have feet like a duck, but are furry. Surprisingly enough, they are also poisonous. Oh, wait.... you asked to be told about Plattekill. I've got nothing there.

If 100 of us show up, Platty will be more crowded than it normally is!

?..... The trails off the double are where its at minimal snowmaking and minimal grooming make for some great bump runs. The double blacks are legitimate. A couple will be bumped up while at least one will be groomed.......

My timing must really suck - been to Platty at least a couple dozen times over the years and have never seen any decent bump lines beyond some scratch on the sides - anybody have any pics of real bumps there (zilch in this thread) or is this just folk lore? :)

Bumps and or Blockbuster usually have good bumps. There are trip reports here from platty I sure if you will search you will see. Could have been timing, platty moguls are always around depends on snow fall last couple years hadn't been normal snow.

Don't post here too much, but I'm in. Central NJ too. Watch your speed on Rt 28 or those cheap lift tickets are outweighed by the expensive speeding tickets.
