Ski Southeast Messageboard

Well,



Decided to hit up the slopes today since the storms coming will make the roads too sketchy for my blood tomorrow. Sugar seemed like a winner, so off we went. Temp = 31 degrees. Slopes Open = 100%. Snow = Perfect. Visability = ummmmm, Houston, we have a problem.



Wow - Fog? I got your fog right here, bud! That was the toughest day on the slopes I have had, as the fog shortened visability to about 10 yards. Couldn't make out the terrain on the slopes if my life depended on it.



After all the complaining though, the day was a great one! Snow quality was perfect, and the crowds were non-existent. A great day!!!!



Here are a couple of videos - substantially better than the last few.

Now on the the pics. Beware, somewhat boring.....





Obligatory lift shots, now with free fog!!

















Some nice lift runs that needed to be poached. They were...













Some fabulous scenery.....





























My handsome mug!









On my third double Stoli & Monster. These things work very well...

fog sucks! looks like you remedied the situation quite nicely though. I've found that the days when the resorts arent top shelf (fog, wind, crowds, etc...) all you need is some top shelf liquors and you won't mind

Visibility sucked, but I bet the snow was good. Looks like you found a good alternative.

While visability was absolutely horrendous, the snow quality was excellent. About 2-4 inches of powder over hardpack in the middle of the runs, and about 6in or so on the edges of the runs. Tom Terr was too icy to do more than once, but as I said before, we had a great time.



I think the videos came out great! Using a different resolution this time around and the anti-shake feature.

The weather the past 2 weeks,except the fog and rain,has been good.Hopefully it will continue well into March!That fog reminds me of that movie "the Mist"!

Nice TR, Stoli and fireplace by 4:00 PM, You Livin Bro, I Like!!!

Thanks man!

bump for foggyness!

those poached lines were made with a snowmobile.

Yes they were. There may or may not have been some additional snowboard tracks later in the day.
