Finding Nemo

Finding Nemo the movie came out the year my passed away ,so the movie will always be special to me. Nemo the storm brought alot of hype to ski community, while it came up short in quantity , quality was awesome and it really helped out the area's ski shoppes and hills. We enjoyed freshies early Sat at the Bear and then on Sunday hit up our Cat favorite Plattekill. Blue bird skies and mininimal wind made for a great day sliding at the Bear. We lapped the screamer until all the snow was smacked down ,then we burned the snow off the Polar Bear. Fun morning Sunday driving up to Platt temps bottomed out at -1 on the mountain still winds and sunshine warmed temps quickly into the mid 20's ,by the time we left temps were above freezing. Conditions were alittle hard in the morn but really fun. Attendance at the mountain seemed to be at an alltime high for any day we have ever skied here.{Platte is the only non BB area I will ski on Holidays)We been here on Presidents day with less people. Scotty (from Alpine Zone forum) and Harvey (NY Ski Blog) are doing a great job in promoting. While waiting at the lift we spied some local critters complaining about the crowd and blaming the promoters,I said "Don't worry March is coming we will once again have the mountains to ourselves!
