GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Platekill is pretty close to Root...I don't think I would wanna drive 3.5 hours to ski there unless it was a whopper of a pow day or places around here were already closed. How's their snowmaking?? 17 of 38 runs open. Edited February 27, 2017 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Not great snowmaking. It is a place to go when natural snow warrants it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) With good natural snow, which they generally keep ungroomed on expert runs, they have the most challenging skiing one can find south of Adirondaks or VT.

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Wow more so than Hunter??Hunter's west side has 2 runs at about the same level as Plattekill, but there is far less of such terrain there, it gets blown or skied off faster, and there is little that is gladed. Plattekill on a powder day is fairly unique for east coast skiing. And they get more natural snow than other Catskill places.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Nah, I'll probably just go rent machiene guns and score some edibles That's cool I turned down going to my friend bachelor party in Vegas cause I didn't want to spend over $2,000 for a long weekend.

Ride Delaware ? Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Simply put, when everything is open and there is snow, Plattekill beats everything else in the Skillz. Hunter is baller early season because of their dialed in snowmaking system, but once the crowds set in, avoid it at all costs. Belleayre is Belleayre. Enjoy it for what it is. It has its moments. Windham I could take it or leave it. Does nothing for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
