Date(s) Skied: March 18, 2011

 

Resort or Ski Area: Plattekill

 

Conditions: Spring

 

Trip Report: As the thread title states, I headed up to Plattekill for their Facebook Fans ski free day. Plattekill is a fun little place and there's virtually no runouts.

 

I made surprisingly good time at 2:33. The drive past Kingston is so much fun. When I pulled into lot at 9:15am, there were 15 cars there. I got booted up and over to the window for my free ticket. I think they were expecting a much larger turnout.

 

Conditions were soft granular in the morning, but around 10:30, the sun broke out and everything started to turn to nice spring corn. Other then meeting up with AndyZee for a few runs, it really felt like I was skiing at a private mountain for the day.

This was part of their terrain park, but all the features were removed.

Nice report.

 

This was one of my top days this year. We skied until 5:30 and the skiing just kept getting better until the sun was behind the mountain.

 

My only disappointment was not getting to meet Andy Zee, and I was standing practically right next to him based on the pics he posted.

 

Not me:
