Ski Southeast Messageboard

Sunny skies + light wind + the grooming of lower Shay's was the perfect recipe for me to start my planned trip back up to SS a day early.





Snow making along the edge of Cupp made for some great high speed carves in out of the snow making pockets.









Did I mention that the snow was really nice and carveable?













On to Shay's .A fresh grooming , skier traffic +sunshine / no wind made for a superb corn surface by early afternoon. It was a blast to bomb the lower steep and actually go fast enough to have to speed check.









So fun ...





















Upper Shays wasn't too bad either











Hopefully the forecast holds and a powder day is in our near future!!

conditions look great, so do the pictures

Nice. I might have to run up there for a day next week. Conditions should be great.

Thursday afternoon to Friday morning is looking good from some light lake effect. Nice TR. Wish I was there.

Thanks! I'm inland about 30 miles from the oceanfront on the Peninsula these days (former Outer Banker).Lots of down time as a self employed carpenter . I do schedule a lot of work on the weekends to ride during the week though

not your characteristic TR, I didn't even know you liked to carve -- and is that corduroy I see?



(there's still a couple of tree runs I would like to discuss)





Beautiful looking day, hit it early, often, and in all conditions





that last picture is brilliant, it makes me want to drive

There's still hope on the trees .Not a complete washout.(This pic is from the edge of Shay's)Actually the protected areas across the street have enough coverage to ride .Its just absolutely bulletproof no edge setting whatsoever.Hopefully all that will change by the weekend.

awesome. i've never rode lower shay's when it's been groomed.... always a cliff full of moguls when we're there.

I love me some groomed lower Shays
