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.

Power Thirst

So got my second set of tires on my truck today. Last ones were not so great (Nitto Terra things) So went back and got the good ole BFG All Terrain on there. Much better!!!

So I decided that the truck was running on empty so might as well fill up the tank.

Yea should have taken out a loan to fill the truck up as you can see below.

And I have 4 more gallons of space left in the tank.

The past few days went like this...

Cue the morning of saturday the 17th...

Using the 1.5 inches of snow to our advantage. : l


Get it boy.


The reason we don't have footage of Oct. 17th



So along came monday morning.. Our hearts content to the fact that we would be riding a lift later that day.. or so we thought. Turns out that cataloochee didn't exactly get to make as much snow as they needed. Biggest let down of the week, no doubt. But along with the predicament came opportunity. Snowshoe decided to keep its guns cranking all night.. and thats where we went. Picture timee...



Matt is mad he can't go with us and enjoy the snow.


Melting is sad.


Woody.


Looky there.


I commend Snowshoe's efforts, there's some deep snow.


First runs of the day.


First tracks recorded (Oct. 19th), first tracks of the season (Oct. 18th).


I do manual labor while Ryan fiddles with the digi.


Mmmm.


Hiking is a great October activity.

Daylight going into hiding.


Get outta here!


It's time to take a stand!

Top off a great day.
