Plattekill Gears Up for Holiday Skiing, Riding & Snowtubing

After an unseasonably warm and limited snow-filled December so far, Mother Nature has cooperated enough to allow Plattekill Mountain in Roxbury, NY to lay down a sufficient amount of man-made snow and officially open for the 2011/2012 season this past weekend.

Where do all things start? At the beginning, and so Plattekill Mountain opened its slopes this past weekend with beginner terrain and took advantage of its limited trails, by offering free beginner lessons for all skiers and riders alike to learn to ski or board. There were many eager takers excited to take advantage of the free lessons and for the more seasoned skiers who came, to enjoy the first turns of the season. All in all, it was fun for all who ventured up to the mountain for the season kickoff.
