Plattekill Mountain Readies Summer Activities
Activities abound next weekend, August 4-5, at Plattekill Mountain in Roxbury, NY as they gear up, for what will be a weekend of outdoor family fun and lots of on mountain excitement.
The main highlight, Plattekill's "Music on the Mountain" free concert series continues with their second concert of the season on Saturday, August 4 , from 4-7pm. The music line-up for Saturday's event will be presented by "The Meeker Hollow String Band," a local Bluegrass & Folk band playing popular sing-alongs and American ballads. Other activities offered include scenic chairlift rides, country-style BBQ, S'mores roasting, and outdoor bar services. In addition, the mountain will also be running their chairlift for mountain biking and hiking all weekend long.
"The idea to offer a free concert series was created to introduce more visitors to Plattekill Mountain, not only for its winter offerings but summer activities too," says Plattekill's Marketing Director Christy Jaromack. "The mountain's natural ski bowl also creates for the perfect amphitheater for an outdoor music concert series." For 2018, their fourth season featuring the music series, Plattekill Mountain's concert dates are scheduled for the first Saturday of the month July thru October and concerts are always on, rain or shine.
Sunday, August 5, the activity continues with something new to Plattekill, "Yoga on the Mountaintop," hosted and run by Raegan Reed of the Delhi Cardio Club. The class offers the serenity of yoga in combination with breathtaking mountaintop panoramic views drenched in the warmth of the morning sunrise. The mountain held its first mountaintop yoga class in July and due to its popularity, Plattekill decided to continue offering the classes for the remainder of their concert weekend Sundays during the 2018 season. "Yoga on the Mountaintop" starts at 9am, but guests are urged to arrive by 8:30am so they have ample time to ride the chairlift to the mountaintop where the yoga instruction is held. The class is open to all ability levels and the cost of $20 includes the round-trip chairlift ride.
Family-owned and operated since 1993, Plattekill Mountain welcomes skiers, snowboarders, snow tubers of all ages looking for winter fun in the Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York. Plattekill offers ski and snowboard lessons, a full-service base lodge with food and bar, and 1,100 vertical feet of old-school New England style trails ranging from beginner to advanced. In the summer and fall, Plattekill welcomes mountain bikers, hikers, as well as private groups and weddings and features a free summer Music Concert Series.
