John Bell Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I'm strongly considering buying an early-season pass to a resort within 2 hours of NYC. Topping my list are Butternut and Plattekill. Anyone have any firsthand experience with either one? Or should I be looking at the Poconos instead? I couldn't care less about shops, lodging, restaurants, etc. I just want as many long ripper runs (blues/blacks) as I can get. (I realize Killington is there, but it's double the distance. Same with Whiteface.) I'll probably be able to get away during the week fairly often, so crowds aren't a big issue. Thanks for any info.

tripine Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I love Plattekill. But only on powder days. They are a small family owned area. Very limited snowmaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 had a great day at Plattekill about 20 years ago. Butternut I would probably go to the Nut, given the choice between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bell Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Looks like I'll be getting my nuts buttered. (Butters is also closer to the interstate.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
