Couldn't have asked for a better weekend. This was by far the best trip I've ever had to Snowshoe. There is so much freaking snow up there right now. The entire mountain is filled in. Driving up Thursday night it was crazy to see walls of snow everywhere on the sides of the road on top of the mountain.

Friday

It snowed a couple inches Thursday night after they had already groomed. A nice layer of fluff was on top. It was nice to get some sprays in for the first several runs. Here's a pano shot.

I rode with my girlfriend for most of the day, but I was able to get out later and find some fun areas.

Image

Finished the day off at Split Rock hot tub.

Image

Saturday

Grooming was immaculate.

Image

Image

Unbelievably gorgeous all day.

Image

The Progression Park was so sick.

Image

Went to Western Territory later in the day. It honestly kind of sucked at that point. A lot of snow had been shaved off and it was icy on the steeps. But the view from Shay's was worth it.

Image

Sunday

First Tracks was cool as hell. Was able to get in 5 laps on Soaring Eagle and then 2 more over on Ballhooter before 9:30.

Here's skipink and my girlfriend.

My girlfriend hadn't ridden in a year but was killing it by the end of the trip.

THAHATTER and his wife.

Was awesome to have the whole area to ourselves for 30 minutes.

I posted a bunch more pics on the site.

I must say, this was by far the best conditions at Snowshoe I've ever experienced. Quite a weekend. We missed you Dave!

I had a blast. It was good to get back to Snowshoe. It was nice to put some more faces with board names. We all really need to make a Western Trip next year. SLC the last week of January. Mark your calendars for SLC. Just sayin.

Special shout-out to davidski for hanging despite running a fever. Was good to meet a few new members and see old ones.

Wish I could have made it to Snowshoe. Maybe next year. I would love to do a Ski SE western trip next year. Great idea!

Awesome trip with an awesome crew! We wore it out at first trax... Wish I had loaded that tracking app to show the stats of having a high speed lift to yourself & 20 buddies for 30-45 mins! Great report Kenny!

Roughly 9 years ago, 20 SkiNC'ers (SkiSE didn't exist then) invaded Utah for the first SkiNC Western Summit. It was a bomber big ole time. Friendships were forged that have carried over the years. Some of those folks don't hang around here anymore for whatever their reasons. I would highly suggest that the new blood take over this old tradition. A Snowshoe Summit is nice, but real bonds are made when you share rooms, vehicles, and experiences over the course of several days to a week.
