JBS Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 A last second decision (and a free lift ticket) lead me to Plattekill this past Saturday. All I have to say is this place rocks! I've never heard anyone mention this hill before. Must be the forgotten ugly stepchild of the Catskill's. A little Mom and Pop place, with slow lifts and one mini lodge. I would not recommend Platte for a beginner carver, but if you like step groom check it out. Northface, Plunge, Freefall, Blockbuster and Face are all wide steepish groomers. What fun :D! Great way to finish up the season. I also brought the powder board and did a little exploring. This place would also be a lot of fun on a pow day. Great trees and lot of places to get lost. One thing that I had not run into for quite some time is that they require you to have a leash. So don't forget to bring one. I thought this was strange at first, but after pondering this from the lifts I realized why. There is no run out on this hill. 1,000ft of vert straight to lift. A great rinse and repeat day.
