Must of been the combination of my 2010 cartel est bindings arriving fed ex thur. and Massanutten announcing that they were gonna debut chair 6 and Diamond Jim on opening day that caused today's work to be put off until sat . and a day trip up .It was a really nice day out there! I didn't see any bare spots anywhere.Really good coverage , and great groomimg for first tracks. .I'm gonna work on a video tonight when I get home.Here's a few pics for now.

Very nice, Brook. The Virginia resorts are my next ones that I want to try out, though I'm gonna wait til they have 100% open or at least 80%.

For Wintergreen, wait until most of the Highlands are open. Some really great terrain over there (all blacks) and never any lines at the high speed quad.

I noticed Diamond Jim was open. Probably the best open run in the region...or so I've heard. Briefly considered a road trip.

I like Mass. It's a nice spread out place. I really like how the blacks are in an area by themselves which keeps a lot of the newbs away. Diamond Jim is a great run. Had my AASI level 1 test there. Great place.

.I've never ridden at any of the NC resorts.Not that I wouldn't want to ...I just live closest to mass and wintergreen. The NC resorts are farther away than snowshoe for me ..
