Snowshoe Summit-- The People

[davidski]

I did a report of the trees which were amazing but the sentient beings were pretty cool too



First to Mike, SkiNC, and Snowshoe -- thank you for another job well done; truth is they just get better and better



So Friday afternoon when I arrived SkiPink found me by seeing the P4's stuck in a snowbank



Bluebird runs w/ Pink,OhDrinkBoy, JeffreyC (Captain America is apparently synchronizing his watch), HNHBaxter, Skizer, D and others





conditions that afternoon







later I did some trees and then,around four, the lift line -- that actually turned out to be an important preliminary run for Sunday



















the Live Feed followed and there was a lot of milling around and shivering while they got that going; fortunately Teledave, MBlacky, SkiAtlanta and otheres had just arrived from T-Line with good stories and a suitcase of PBR. Saw Medicskier again and enjoyed meeting his now fiance





























Night skiing was great made a lot of runs with HNH and ODB as well as KillGlobalWarming and Audrey (?)







Incidentally- Baxter is a beast, pretty damn fearless for a man with one pole and a recently broken hand



Drove back down to the inn on friday night having mostly behaved myself





Sat morning -- got lucky and right away fell into a big group at the top of Widowmaker. Finally met SkiCop,JBC,and many others -- once again it was a genuine pleasure to actully meet these folks and spend some time together.







ODB







a herd of cats coming down Camp 99







JBC is somewhere in that cloud of dust







We headed to Ballhooter and the connectors were filling up here's Jeffrey and Baxter, on his way to injure small children









the rest of the day thanks to BrookBarrel was all about the trees and a little night skiing -- then the party at hoots-- lots of nice free stuff including tickets (thanks again Mike)

and again lots of great people, here's some previous suspects (complete w/ broken hand) and EastCoaster, always good company.







Hey!! is that officially licensed gear?







So my night ended with some good times around EC's keg and a difficult hitchhike down the mountain for me -- well worth it





Sunday I hitchhiked up again and just made it to meet EC for a tree run, conditions weren't as good but its another page in his knowlege of off-piste/bc places -- seriously Rob is an actual resource



Met the rep for Kastle skis in the parking lot which led to another run down the lift -- that's going to be a subject for a later posting



AND -- met BrookBarrel and his people again so I'll close with those pictures --







wait -- look closer BB is in mid 360







and his buddy













Great times, glad to meet so many new people and see others again

Were you on the Ballhooter w/ Pink sunday? There's a real good story behind that that I will get to later



BTW -- I misidentified you as Baxter in the TR (the matching garb through me off) but I fixed it.



Great turns, great weekend
