The #Skiwolves winter season continues! We'll be heading to Plattekill Mountain on Saturday, February 24th for a day of skiing and riding some of the best terrain and most natural snow in the Catskills.
It's snow joke that Plattekill gets more natural snow on average than many mountains up in Vermont and northern New England! Plattekill's status as a hidden gem in the Catskills means we'll be avoiding one of the busiest weekends of the season at Hunter, Belleayre and Windham, as well as passing the savings onto you. Why spend $25 more on a trip only to stand in lines all day?
Beginners, don't worry. Plattekill's Learning Zone will get you on the slopes! Beginner packages are available at discounted rates. For those without adequate gear, the club is offers waterproof and insulated jacket and snowpant rentals, as well as helmet rentals, all for a nominal charge. Keeping warm and dry is an essential part of enjoying a day on the slopes, especially for only a few bucks.
We'll be leaving campus at 5:15am after meeting at the SAC Loop at 5:00am. As usual, we'll be stopping for breakfast on the way, having lunch at the mountain and stopping for dinner on the way back to campus. Expect to return to Stony Brook between 9 and 10pm.
===============================================================================
Pricing for the trip is as follows:
$39 for a lift ticket and transportation.
$59 for a beginner package, which includes a lower mountain lift ticket for the magic carpet lifts, rental equipment (skis/snowboard, boots, poles and helmet) and a 90 minute group lesson
Rental equipment is also available separately for $27. Lessons are available separately from the beginner package for intermediate skiers, inquire for rates.
Only 36 spots are available for this trip. Our Belleayre trip filled very quickly, so if you're interested make sure to sign up soon! Signing up and paying for your spot online secures your spot, so don't delay!!
Grad Student, Alumni and Non-Student pricing adds $22, since we aren't able to apply USG funding to non-undergrads
