I already posted a report about the time I was at whitegrass, and that weaves back and forth
BUT, I left greater Saxapahaw, NC Sat morning and passed Senaca Rocks about 2:00, I've still only driven by them
I got my room at the Purple Fiddle and got a night ticket at Canaan
It was seriously, bitterly cold, w/ 40 mph winds. By 7:30 when I quit there was Nobody out, including lifties (pagamony can attest to this phenomenon at CV)...............sorry in advance about the hand held videos

Got back to the Purple fiddle and watched the band, The Hot Seats, spectacular fiddle player
Sunday morning I went to Canaan again. Right away in the liftline I happened to meet Abe, who is a rare poster on the board and an excellent tele skier who showed me some great tree runs last year
With his brother we made some good turns on perhaps technically closed runs
Later I skinned out of CV and ran into Abe again with his brother and wife out on the pipeline small world
EAST COASTER-- if you are reading this, I went to the top of Wiess Knob and tentatively started down, for a picture, it was so beautiful, wind loaded and deep that I really came close to winging it down to laneville, frankly I still wish I had
Monday Morning was bright and beautiful, $15 lift tickets at Canaan with two canned goods
Great, great conditions and even though I had finnagled most of the runs before it was fun to be at the rope drops
Now this is something -- Abe, notice that our tracks were the only ones there, and when I came down again on Monday Patrol really was waiting for me but they were very, very cool . The key question is -- Ok, so how was it?
Snowshoe' on Tues., hmmn,
the stuff under the lifts was pretty good
and a nightime experiment:
I think it is going to be a good March
