small but skis like a much bigger mtn. plenty of steeps with runs like plunge & blockbuster rivaling just about anything at k. some great off-piste to boot.

OK Bummy, now you made a good call. If they're open, it'll be a great day for Plattekill, wish I could go.

I'll be there thurs.

Get out to Plattekill. If you love powder, you'll think you've find one of the East's great post-storm nirvanas. The place skis bigger than it is and there are a ton of little side trails, mtb bike trails and trees to ski there. It's rustic, old fashioned skiing at its best.

I really love that place. Real old New England-ish. Wish I could go on Thursday but all my gear is up in VT.
