Thinking about hitting Plattekill, maybe leave this afternoon or early in the AM. Any updates from the area?

Plattekill is only open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Maybe you should try Belleayre, Hunter or Windham. Belleayre has $20 lift tickets every Wed. and $25 lift tickets every Friday. Liftopia.com has $29. tics for Windham midweek.

It wasn't pretty today. Kinda of like skiing in wet cement. Reminded me of the Cascades in Oregon...

While the snow was tacky, what a great day of skiing yesterday!

The west side was particularly awesome...44, Purna, and Taylors were fantastic.

Selected woods areas still rocking too.

Still alot of snow up there...we need some cold weather.

The base should hold up well into April for sure..too bad they are closing the 11th. I'm going next Sunday and Monday if it doesn't.........r
