At Plattekill Mountain, they’re all about keeping it real. What you’ll find here is a laid-back atmosphere and an unmistakable vibe that somehow makes it just different. Fiercely independent they have been able to maintain a unique small mountain setting. And when other mountains are crowded with holiday Groms we will be looping the natural terrain like a learned local. Let the posers pose in lift lines and along side the bar we will be ridin’.
With a back-country feel, Plattekill offers a departure from the high-volume resort experience. Ride like a local through glades untouched. Slopes are left natural with fewer riders. Haven’t been? Get on the bus to experience the sweet taste of natural.
No doubt you’ll find the big mountain terrain, but what sets them apart is the small mountain charm and friendly atmosphere that welcomes you when you arrive. Enjoy their 38 trails and top notch conditions across terrain. Their serious focus and attention to detail when it comes to snow making ensures that snow stays fresh longer and isn’t skied off by mid-day. See more at: Plattekill Mountain

A parent or legal guardian must complete and bring along a Minor Permissions Slip for each child age sixteen (16) and under.
Your bindings settings usually follow your batting stance. If you are right-handed and bat right-handed, then you will probably feel most comfortable with your left foot forward (regular). If you are left-handed or bat “lefty,” then you will likely feel right foot forward is more natural (goofy).
These are just guidelines to start. We can help you find the right fit for your ride.
Determining your ski ability is your responsibility!
Your ski ability, height, weight, age, and boot-sole length are used by the shop to determine the visual indicator settings of your ski bindings. Be sure to provide accurate information, as any error may increase your risk of injury. Consult the skier type descriptions to select your classification. These descriptions are compatible with ASTM and ISO documents.
