Snowshoe OPENING DAY.

Snowshoe Mountain decided to open up two days early with all the snow they have been getting, so we headed up last night and shredded today. Take a looky at the pics of the adventure and watch their opening day video at the end. Peace.

Snowshoe's projected 2010 Opening Day is Wednesday, November 24th! With the season right around the corner, visit their new park page on the site to see what's in store for this season! They got some new terrain, new features, some new crew members, and a new head groomer. They do plan on having terrain park features out and about on opening day in the Powdermonkey Terrain Garden.

App Opening Delayed.

Sadly, as the title says, Appalachian Ski Mtn's Opening Day this Friday, November 19th has been postponed until snowmaking temperatures return to the region. The Rome Premature Jibulation competition planned for Sunday, November 21st will also be postponed until Sunday, December 5th, which happens to be App's Anniversary Weekend where lift ticket prices cost $5!

Here is the announcement from App on their site.

And take a minute or sixty to look at App Terrain Park's Builder's Blog.
With new features like the one below, look forward to a great season at App!


ATP's new creeper ledge, looks FUN!

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.
