Bobcat Mountain

[MrZ123]

Anyone skied Bobcat lately?

Skinned and skied?

 

[WoodCore]

I haven't been since 2005, the last operational season. Regardless, here's a report and some pictures I posted......

So why do they maintain the place if it is closed down?

Skied near a guy at Plattekill last Sunday...Carharts and a Bobcat hat....and a damned good mogul skier at that.

I'm pretty sure that Wood Core and I skied there on Bobcat's final weekend of operation... in March 2005. Here's my short TR:

A while back, someone said that if a NYS ski area doesn't officially operate a lift for more than two years, it's considered DOA/condemned -- i.e. they'd need to put up a new one.

So no lifts. Any news on skiing it today!?

I've successfully avoided thinking about Bobcat all season. Now you've ruined my afternoon.

RIP

That would be Steve. He was probably new straight boards with tryolia bindings. He sure can ski.

Has he skied Bobcat recently is the question...

 

[MarkC]

Nobody has.

On my way to Plattekill on Sunday, I'm threatening to boot it up Bobcat and do a run down "Courage" or the glade trail.

No clue as to conditions... although even when the hill was open, it was anyone's guess.

Your not worried about getting caught?

 

[jamesdeluxe]

By whom? The cows?

Eh, I'm hearing that the recent storm ended with a decent amount of NCP, so probably not the best time to go.
