I telemark ski, or used to. Haven't skied for a few years and want to get back into it. Always heard Snowshoe has about a 1500' drop, but Google Earth only shows about half that. One advantage they have is altitude, but if they only have 7-800 feet of vertical, is it worth the drive? I'm spoiled having spent most of my ski days in the Alps (incredible vertical) or in Japan (fantastic snow), but have always been intrigued by Snowshoe. How long does it take you to driver there? Do you go 81 to Stauton and then west via SR-250? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDreamer Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Taking this to banter, but can anyone explain or justify this man’s maps? Why are they habitually very bullish and (perhaps more importantly) why does his constituency not skewer him for constantly busting? Maybe it’s just MBY, but I usually see 2” less than is on these things. I just don’t get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks That 800’ might be about right for the main area, but their 1500’ is the Western Territory which is across the street from the main area, it’s about a mile and a half long I think? There’s also silvercreek for night skiing until 9, as the main area closes at 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I don't think the concept of news organizations knowing that coverage of big weather events gooses the ratings is anything new. I remember local stations being all over big weather events in the 1970s. As for the current storm, I'm starting to hope for the "atmospheric memory" or whatever we call it that seems to target a specific area repeatedly throughout the season. And so far this season it would be me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was spending a disproportionate amount of time doing something pretty much unproductive. My time has become more valuable than a d5+ storm on an op. I only start doing the analysis thing inside of 72 hours. I barely looked at models yesterday too. I just popped in here from time to time to make sure it was still on the table. Yesterday's model runs don't mean jack squat today anyways probably better to talk about weather than the wizards, though. i had to cut back on that a few years ago. there's only so many times i can have an argument about busted draft picks and the need to have a stretch, playmaking 4/5 in the lineup.

Do you go 81 to Stauton and then west via SR-250? Thanks As mentioned, other than the two western slopes, most of Snowshoe's vertical is less than 800'. If you're looking for a "resort" feel its better than most other options (lots of condos, restaurants, shops, etc. in the Village). Another option that is an easier/shorter drive with as much (if not more) snow is the Canaan Valley area. Timberline's vertical is 1000' and is a true skier's mountain with interesting slopes. Canaan Valley Resort has an 850' vertical, I believe, and is nice as well. If you like to free heel, in between these two resorts is the mid-atlantic's premier cross country ski area, White Grass. So, three ski areas all right next to each other. Not as much resort style, most restaurants/shops are in nearby Davis and Thomas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can offend both generations with mean jokes. BTW-- 45 in Annapolis, Dew Point 24, Barometer 29.97, and mostly sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are getting Thomas and Rui back very soon. I think the Wiz are in a good spot. The hot start was a bit of a fluke but if we can get mostly healthy for the second half of the season good things will happen.
