2010 West Virginia Open

Snowshoe Mtn's only event this year is being held Saturday March 13th. Apparently, this season's WV Open is to be held as a slopestyle event, rather than the rail jam format of previous years. A few months ago, I was told this event was going to be "reinvented" and brought back up to be the most prestigious event in the region again. So with that said, they have downed the top prize money from $2000 to $500 for the top skier and snowboarder divisions. Seems reinvented to me.

And maybe I am wrong, it seems to be a race this year...

Here is the facebook page for the event - 2010 WV Open

So come out and enjoy the fun.

Save the whales

... All 1,041 of them. I hate computers sometimes.

Only in WV would they have a gas station built like this. And no lie, it is still in operation.

Purdy day, crappy camera.

Fire Fire Fire.

With winter weather pounding the mountainous region we live in... what better way not to get burnt out than by burning. A little summer flavor to calm the mind and have a bit of a vacation. Few friends and a fine fire. Enjoy and remember, "Only you can prevent forest fires."


Snow pit fire need constant attention.

Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is a four-day, multi-stage camping festival held on a beautiful 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee every June. Bonnaroo brings together some of the best performers in rock and roll, along with dozens of artists in complementary styles such as jazz, Americana, hip-hop, electronica, and just about any contemporary music you can think of. In addition to dozens of epic performances, the festival's 100-acre entertainment village buzzes around the clock with attractions and activities including a classic arcade, on-site cinema, silent disco, comedy club, theater performers, a beer festival, and a music technology village. For its peaceful vibe, near-flawless logistics, and unrivaled entertainment options, Rolling Stone magazine named this revolutionary entertainment experience one of the 50 moments that changed the history of rock and roll.

Digi Camera.

This past Saturday, I lost my camera somewhere between Silver Creek parking lot, Timberjack, Cascade lift, Fox Chase and the bottom of Flying Eagle lift where I noticed it had fallen out of my unzipped pocket. It is a black FujiFilm J10 and should still be in a lime green case. If you or a friend happens to stumble upon it, please return it : )
As of now, I guess pics will be taken with an old rinky dink digital camera... some cell phones have better cameras than this thing.
So just giving a heads up on the photo quality change, and hoping someone that reads this has found my beloved J10...
-Peace and happy shralping!

Something to look forward to...

Think Thank has blown minds for awhile now with their team's innovative and creative riding. Peep this trailer of their new release coming out Fall of '10. Looking sick.
