Uh , then You’re not really from Dixie then, carpetbagger .
Atlanta born and raised , living in SLC now .
Grew up skiing in Colorado , Utah and BC and had the occasional trip to Cat , Sugar and Beech to supplement ski camp and ski vacations with the fam
Don’t sleep on Blower pow days in January at Beech or the Tucker Terrain Park @atlskier
Lifelong NC skier. Put on a plane to Utah alone at 16 1990. Still ski 20-25 days a winter in Utah . Haven’t missed a Utah season in 31 straight seasons.
However, I will pick my days and hit beech on occasion. Haven’t been to snowshoe since 2013. I find the lodging too expensive and would rather buy a plane ticket. But it can be fun for sure.

Snowshoe is too flat , but I did do a spring break trip there in 2010 when I was in college in Va and they had more annual snowfall than Most of CO that year . Regardless , not worth more than a day of skiing.
Wolf Laurel has the most potential in the state if they could ever expand . RIP hawksnest
Hawksnest is no more? Too bad, hadn't heard. Nice little ski hill. And if memory serves, it was the site the of the first SkiNC summit. If you know, you know.
Flat in comparison to what? We're not comparing SE to Colorado here, this is just stoke for SE areas. You must have missed the bottom pitches of the two Western Territory runs or the Widowmaker run. Those two areas have some of the best sustained fall line skiing in the region.
Historically the SE was just part of the Mid-Atlantic thread. Which might see 5 posts in a big year. IMO the Canaan valley by far the best, even when timberline was a dump. but christ its a llloooonnnggg drive.
PS you better stay inbounds at Beech. or TNKen'll fuck you up. Seriously. Some dickehead patroller well. story for another day.
/Carry on.
"Can't you see..."
Cams looked good at West Virginia resorts today. Might be up on the slopes somewhere this weekend.
Hawks nest was the best. A damn shame the lift served riding is gone.
Snowshoe sucks fucking donkey nuts. It's overrated, overcrowded, overpriced, and now; just like half of the ski areas in the country, overrun by Ikon assholes who think they fucking invented going skiing.
On the other hand, my wife and kids love the 'Shoe so you may fall into the same beater category they do.
Fuck Snowshoe, they suck.

I should probably change my username to IReallyDon'tTeleMuchAnymoreDave.
The western territory runs are the furthest thing from sustained fall line skiing. Although the bottom pitch of shays is decent, both have several sections of almost flat terrain. I was very disappointed when I went, especially after all the hype. The rest of snowshoe is flatter than beech, which is fairly remarkable. Timberline has much better sustained fall line and is chill AF. Wolf ridge also better terrain.
Cool, then piss off back to the Wasatch Stoke thread and bitch about the LCC or BCC road being closed for the umpteenth time or whatever. We're discussing SE hills here, not your annual pilgrimage out west. No one is going to dispute the west has better terrain in here.
Also, I will grant that Snowshoe doesn't have the best terrain in its main bowl area, but the Western Territory is good for the more serious skiers and usually quite uncrowded. Timberline's got the best fall line skiing of any where, but the bottom two pitches for Shay's and Cupp are some of the steepest you'll find in the region. WGAF if you gotta skate the flat for a minute to get to it? I've definitely had to skate flat sections at western mountains to access terrain.
Anyways, snow on the way tomorrow! Hope we see some stoke in here.
I was kinda hoping the SE would eventually take back Sirdipshitsalot, but looks like we are stuck with this smug dumb gaper douchebag for a bit longer.
Anyways, I'm following this thread as SE skiing is fascinating. Been to Beech during the summer, I'd ski there if I had the chance.
should we make "the official argue about where the south is" thread?
swing your fucking sword.
look what you did SUF. a legit thread.
