Winterplace doesn’t get a much love from this board, but if the conditions are right, it is worth the 2 hour and change trip from the Triad. I checked their site on Saturday and all 27 trails were open, and I had just received $10 off coupons in an email from them on Friday. So for $32 bucks I was able to get a half day pass.
We got there right at 9, and there was no line for lift tickets. We quickly headed to the back section of the ski area, and made laps alternating between Woods Run, Plunge, Nosedive and Look at Me. The bottom sections of Woods Run and most of Nosedive were icy by noon, but they always seem to be that way.
There wasn’t anything new on the backside. As I was taking the first lift, I noticed that they had cleared all of the trees between Hickory and Cascade. Hickory looked a little wider, and is now a small to medium terrain park.
We were very lucky. There did not seem to be many church or scout groups on the slopes. Maybe between 10:30 and 11 the lift line reached a 10 to 15 minute wait, but they opened up another lift around 11:15 and for the rest of the time we skied, there were almost no lines.
I was a great day to get out on the snow, especially since it was my first ski day of the 2013 season.
