Ski Southeast Messageboard

Just wanted to get out and skin and ski one more time so left the city in search of some snow





Not seeing much white up ahead but I do know of a secret stash all my own





This is a very good sign, I begin following a salt truck, must of been a very isolated storm:)





I arrive at my destination, during the season not very secret but today I have Wolf all to myself





Getting Ready





The start of the day





Looking down Viewfinder





I've got my fingers crossed the Bowl is still filled in





This is on my list for next year. I understand it gets skied quite frequently





First run down the Howling





I think Orville is saving this pile for next year





Looking down Timber Wolf, dog is ready. Worst of the day still frozen with some hellacious chopped up snow





But this was my reconnoiter run for the Bowl and I'm not disappointed





My skin back up Whistling Dixie





First Bowl run and dog says "we're headed down that?"





Beautiful spring conditions made three laps before I had to head out. Looking down on my 2nd run





I opted to carry my skis on my back and climb back up Flame Out, it took about 10 mins off the round trip. Dog getting impatient about my pace back up the hill





Few more bowl shots









And finally the carnage from a morning's outing





A very nice morning.

Keep Living the Dream! You are my hero!

Looks like you and the dog had fun!

Gordon you know you continue to set the bar too high for me;)

Sugar still has a good bit of snow but looks like somebody intentionally cut grooves in the snow!

Another year, another not going to PEC - one of these years I will knock that off my list!

This is freaking amazing...Not to be a spoil sport, but I'm sure resorts frown upon this. How strictly do you suppose Wolf vs Sugar vs etc are at keeping people off the leftover snow?

are those painted 4 frnt vcts? the bases are like mine

Thinking that most areas will frown upon this. I have begged Cat to allow me to skin after closing and they laugh at me. Told them I'd trade free work for a few turns, not happening. At Wolf there were a few workers who were very nice (waving to me) but one asked me whether I had taken a run. Made me a little nervous, but I definitely looked like I knew what I was doing and I was solo with my dog. Was thinking that if I had started at the base and said I hadn't gone up I would have been escorted off the mountain. I parked at the upper lodge and tried to avoid visibility whenever I could. I thought long and hard about publicizing my day, I guess vanity won out:)
