Well we have no regional sections and we seem to create a new thread for every resort, or just take some threads wayyyyy of topic (like scheduling a 7 springs trip in the wintergreen thread, HAHA).

Anyways i figured since we have so many riders from or board in VA, MD, WV and PA we could kind of keep it all together (and maybe get a sticky if this actually works? just a suggestion...)

so lets get to it!

Wisp is blowing and say that have a 12/1 opening but its 54 and raining. there wabcams look terrible so i dont see how they are going to open.

right now, 7springs isnt looking much better. i still hope to roll up with dcp on saturday but its not looking good right now.

liberty and whitetail havnt even begun blowing yet :(

snowshoe has the most open terrain but unfortunately its the furthest away for most of us.

Yea I know Springs looks pretty grim but tonight they should blow and they should be blowing friday night and into Saturday morning that's why I said I'll let you know what is going on tommorow so we can get a grasp on if it will open and if it is worth the trip.

should be a nice soupy weekend with temps in the 40's.

not to burst your bubble, or anything :cheeky4:

that being said, i finally received my paycheck from the job that fired me! woohoo! i'm $100 richer than i was yesterday! which means i have $100 to my name! now, to spend that on snowboarding soupy niceness or buy a bag...hmmmmm.

on a better note, i got a call today for a job offer, same thing as recently...leasing apartments. so that's a step in a positive direction :D

woohoo! i had a feeling the storm that rolled over us yesterday stopped & shared some goodness with seven springs...

happiness is...

5 inches of natty snow!

and with the storm that's rolling over me right now, teasing me with it's flurries, i'm sure there's more of that natty dankness making it's way through pa again today!!!

note to self:
**need to find money to go riding this weekend**

it looks like to get the $7 deal you've got to purchase the ticket online beforehand...anyone know if that's the case? or can you get the special price at the window, too?

guess i'll call them today & find out...

i've only ever been to wisp VERY early in the season so they never have much open when i was there. the 2 or so trails they did have were fun. i've love to go when they are 100% cause a lot of people say its pretty decent.

it was flaking off and on here yesterday, sounds like a pretty good chance of snow for wednesday!

Jenn, also check out 7springs. their tickets are $25 right now and they should have a ton more stuff open now than they did this past weekend. from my place wisp and springs take about the same amount of drive time.

i'll be heading to NYC this weekend so no riding for me. :(

Who is supposed to have $7 lift on sunday? And springs will have a bunch more open by the weekend. If you are planning to go up let me know what day cause I have a couple of days to use before the year is up so I might be able to get off.

looks like a crapshoot between libery and whitetail right now. hopefully with some natty snow and constant cold temps these guys can get something going by the weekend.

unfortunately i cant ride this weekend but i'll be damn sure out the following weekend.

yeah, this pic gives me hope...



the other day they hadn't even touched that side of the mountain!!!
Jenn, that picture is teh sex.

like i said, no riding for me this weekend but you guys down for a mini meet next weekend? i'm sure liberty will be open by then. jenn, dave, dan (any anyone else in the area) what do you guys think?

also, Jenn have you heard anything from Mike (smoothboarder from tos)? i lost his number and i cant get a hold of him on sb.com. do you know if he is still in the area?

It would be nice if Liberty opened up this weekend. Whitetail says they are opening on Saturday. I gotta work so I can't go; plus they are calling for rain/snow I think. But Sunday I would go. But I think they are calling for rain at Whitetail but just AM clouds at Liberty.

dan-

i've already talked my bro & sis into going to wisp and i think they may have talked a few more into joining us; so i don't think i can back out now. they do have coupons for a free lift ticket to liberty or whitetail, so maybe i can coax them that way.
i don't know though, i don't even really have the money to go...gotta figure that out. chances are i'll be going to wisp. $7 is a lot easier to bum than $25, or whatever liberty's price is right now.

oh, and it looks like they've got quite a few more runs open at wisp...some blues & blacks, so that's good.
