They are offering Pico for rent on Tuesday or Wednesday.. Only the uphill crowd will be upset if they do actually find any takers.If I recall correctly, Pico is closed a few days during mid-week. Is that when its rentable, or also on the weekend?
Maybe; I'll wager renting the hill gets the
renter much more say in things like instruction, lifts, and food service than buying a day pass would.
Once again, Plattekill seems to be a bargain at $3500/day.
... Plattekill might be better, but there is just too much weather risk there.
I know. It's just too hard to get a large enough group together for a mid-week day, and mid-week you don't need to exclude the public to feel like you own the place.This wouldn't be about you and your individual skiing experience. Of course you could do better somewhere else mid-week. For this to really work, it would be about knowing everyone on the mountain fro
Plattekill would be a great place for a private mini gathering. If someone (not me... already frustrated dealing with my own trip with a group of just 10) were to organize a Monday - just extend a weekend road trip a day - I'd buy into it even though conditions can't be predicted. Maybe negotiate a discount if less than all lifts running, less than 50% open terrain. Can we claim @Pugski a non-profit?
This wouldn't be about you and your individual skiing experience. Of course you could do better somewhere else mid-week. For this to really work, it would be about knowing everyone on the mountain from work or perhaps virtually from a ski blog and getting to know more of them face-to-face. It would work for me because I could stay at my place at Killington, and I'd happily fork over the extra bucks even though I have a pass.
