December 21 marked the first day of Winter and we couldn’t be happier. If our opening day (December 17) was any indication, it looks like we’re in for a great season! We received an awesome foot of fresh powder, allowing our guests to take full advantage of the whole mountain—it’s been quite a while since we were open 100% on DAY ONE!

Even though the next day’s weather was rainy, we have been fortunate to have low temps since, which means our snow guns have been blasting 24/7 to gear up for our Holiday Week! Plattekill will open at least 7 trails on Saturday, December 24. We will close on December 25 but then we’ll open the slopes and snowtubing park again from December 26 – January 2 for Holiday Week!

Most of our beginner trails and several blue runs are ready to open, and we even have some more difficult areas for those of you who are ready to get right into it. And after you’re all worn out from a long day of carving or shredding, don’t forget to join us for some après–ski live music in the lodge Saturday nights! Also, on December 28, there will be a film screening of Warren Miller’s “Here, There & Everywhere” will be shown at the Union Grove Distillery. Here’s a toast to a snowy 2017!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS from Plattekill Mountain! We can’t wait to see you!
