Anyone else skiing Plattekill tomorrow?

Ask for change if you see me. That color jacket, black pants and most likely on some model Volkl (unless I snag a Blizzard demo). Buddy I’ll be with will be tele.

Plattekill was pretty awesome today, even though it was cold enough that a frequent lodge breaks were desirable. Got to say hi to Spanky, which was cool.

Good day and nice meeting you! Next time, we’ll get some turns together.

No pictures from me as I carpooled with a friend and left my phone in my car in Nanuet.

Freefall au natural was really nice and probably ROTD. Upper Face right under the guns was good, albeit the visibility sucked. Plunge good until Patrol closed the “back door” entrance.

While it was cold, it was quite bearable. We managed to get about 6-7 runs in between breaks. Hotronics and boot gloves were a life saver today.

Ha! Did somebody pull a rope up there? I thought I was the only one on the double side most of the day.

The Just Do It entrance had a rope across it later in the day.

take your fucking backpack off when riding the lifts people…

an “unintentional accident occurred on the chairlifts” is a shitty way to go.

So the deceased was a ski patroller that fellow ski patrollers had to respond to because he fell off the lift chair? Sorry to hear that and RIP to the patroller and condolences to all the ski patrol. I rarely see skiers take their backpacks off and if a patroller pack with potentially needed gear as a patroller, that is even worst (compared to those that carry 6 packs, bluetooth speakers and other "gear" in their packs.

A bunch of the ski areas posted similar pics. I guess until the water freezes up there's plenty available after all that rain.

I feel like getting hit by a train could mimic the effects of being impaired by alcohol. Not saying he wasn’t impaired by alcohol- just want to wait for the blood test results. And why the hell rely on a field sobriety test? I know Massena is way the fuck up there and tiny but they must have a breathalyzer or two available to them. Also, is it possible my HS (located in Troy) actually played Massena? I have some vague memory of us playing Massena but looking at a map now, that seems impossible. My brain is going for sure.
