Winters on the East Coast don’t always go smoothly with plentiful powder, but some of the area’s most dedicated skiers always manage to find glimpses of glory here and there. One instance was in northern New York at Tug Hill Plateau, which saw some dreamy lake-effect snow a few years back. Without hesitation, Ski The East rippers Carter Snow, Dylan Dipentima and Erik Olson hit the road, and they had it all to themselves. They decided to sit on this footage for a while, but we’re happy to be sharing it with you now.
