Left Charlotte at the usual 6 A.M. time this morning since classes were cancelled. I haven't seen the roads around here that bad in several years. Interstate 85 was a mess as was 321. The roads got progressively better as we got towards Lenoir and then from Lenoir to Blowing Rock it was easy sailing. Once we hit Blowing Rock though it was covered and you couldn't see the asphalt. Seeing as we were in my two wheel drive Acura going to Beech was not an option. How we made it to Sugar this morning I have no idea but we were rewarded with 10 inches of fresh and sunny skies. I haven't been to Sugar since November but today was sweet. Just about perfect snow conditions for NC and they had the guns off. Pics aren't the best I used my cell phone.

Yeah everything was groomed. You had to go to the sides of the trails to play in some pow. Northridge was so much fun in the morning you could go off to the right into the tree branches a little. Sugar has a ton of snow kudos to them.
WOOOOOO!
