Home is where the heart is

Today's efforts were conducted to try to shed some light on a resort (well, one of a few resorts) that almost never sees any exposure. The Homestead itself is a high class resort, mostly focused on golfing and other luxuries. The ski area that they operate is low-key however, which is a shame since they have been operating for over 50 years. I grew up riding there many moons ago, and the place hasnt changed a bit since. It has that old local hill feel to it, and I can't say that I really want that to change.

Anyway, we shot some video today. Coinscidentally, todays stills will also be from the footage, because nick left the camera behind. The park today was way less than par- cut them a good bit of slack though as they just picked up 2" of warm rain a few days ago. Hope to get back up there when conditions are better.

A short vid of today's 2 hour session will be up soon. Holla.

Openings

We hit opening day at Snowshoe on Saturday, and then App's opening on Sunday. We filmed a bit but nothing really. I ended up not taking too many pictures, none on Sunday. Opening day is just hard to get film and pics because everyone's having so much fun and nobody wants to deal with any cameras. Missed out on the comp Sunday due to App's delay of annoucing they would open, but still had fun there. Also in resort news, The Homestead is planning on opening Dec. 19 or before (weather dependent), check below for pic of them making snow. The Homestead is basically a hole in a wall, but when they have thier park out, it is a blast.
