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.


Good ol boys gettin down...


Fire + Snow = Melting = Wet shoes = Cold feet + Fire = Wet warm feet. Follow?

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.

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