My Snowshoe Summit Photo TR (pics added)

The Mission: SkiSE Snowshoe Summit



The Plan of Attack: Leave early Friday, play hard, return late Sunday



The Result: A hell of a good time





After roughly 11 hrs of driving we arrived at 4848' at approximately 5:25pm just in time for the live sat feed. We met up with some of the crew and piled our gear into the condo. After unpacking and chillin for a bit 10 of us made our way over to The Junction for some dinner. The food was good, and the drinks were flowing. It was a good start to the weekend.

We lapped the Ballhooter lift until the crowds started showing up, then made our way over to the Soaring Eagle

The party was super fun. I wasn't able to attend last year, but this year was big improvement when compared to the first. Many thanks to Mike and his SkiSE staff, Laura Parquette, Bill Rock, and other Snowshoe peeps who helped pull everything together. Well done.



A large handful of us were invited to duck the ropes and destroy the groomers Sunday morning. Now I am not a fan of groomers, but SS did lay down some nice corduroy. I am sure Captain America was grinning ear to ear.

This was a great weekend for sure. The weather, the skiing, the party (and afterparty), first tracks, etc were all top notch. Thanks again to all involved in putting on the 3rd annual summit, especially Snowshoe. On the drive home I was thinking about how well they do customer service. From the lift ops, the servers, patrol, to the top guys....everyone is super nice and professional. Where else can you chat with the COO of a resort about everything from kids, to dirtbikes, to ski gear while being treated to free food and free lifties?



Can't wait for the next one!

Talking on the phone to your GF will get you that everytime.

Not much difference between Mellow's angle in the top and bottom photos. I don't think he can stand up. One's to the left, the other to the right.

Nice TR. Looks like a great time. I've got to get up there one year, just can't justify the drive.
