Snowshoe 12-15-07. Temp 32. Foggy. Light Snow. Trace of new. Despite poor visibility, conditions were very good. A frozen grandular to loose grandular for the day, groomed still found on sides all day long.









Warriors.













So this is where we go in for lunch. Food is expensive. So we "brown-bagged" it and took it into Hoot's at Top of the World. Start eating, and three minutes later we are told it is against health code to bring outside food in there. This didnt phase me, until I saw a dog in there, without a word said about that. We were told to eat in the locker room.















Snowshoe under a Winter Storm Warning right now for about a foot overnight. Going tomorow? Good chance. Should see a powder day report up soon.

Picture time. Ill put this in 2 posts as there are two different events on my camera.


Numero one- 540 Mtn Lab picked up 3" of snow Wed the 5th. While these aren't pictures from Wednesday, they are from that Friday, when we also got handed 1/8" of freezing rain.





















Now, onto Snowshoe 12-15...

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?























Snowmaking.
