Well well well. The past 24 hours have been... shall we say sick? The 540 Mtn Lab opened up Wednesday afternoon. While that date was set 2 weeks in advance, ma nature came in right on time- Allowing 3 nights of snowmaking temps before Wednesday, And really coming in with 3-4" of natural snow that fell during the day Wednesday. Timely eh? Only grabbed a handful of shots from that, but expecting another session Friday at 7pm, as snowmaking is going on now.

Yeah. Thats a lake buoy.

Now what gave the lab around 3" of snow really pounded Snowshoe. Really. The highest peaks of West Virginia picked up between 15 and 25 inches. Needless to say inspection was in order. We weren't disappointed. These pictures were taken very late in the day, so everything really is tracked up until morning. I would have taken shots that morning, but that doesn't sound fun now does it?
