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.

7 Springs has been 30 degrees yesterday and today, and are going to be 25 or below for the high next week according to the weather report. It was snowing today in Southern PA.

I'll be learning to snowboard tomorrow (Saturday)and I'll be there on Monday and Tuesday if anyone wants to give me any pointers.

All this gear to try out, I can't wait:

Open today from 8am to 10pm. Due to icy tree limbs, Heavenly on the backside will not open until later in the morning. We may also experience some other temporary trail closures until it warms up a bit.

no & yes. it's a lil over 3 hours & yes, i have to be back by six. good point. maybe i'll just wait till the weekend.

i doubt liberty will be open during the week though.
I called and they said they had planned on being open during the week and it should be cold enough tonight and Monday that they should be able to lay down some decent snow. I say you wait and see what happens cause I still plan on riding this week while I have time off. I was actually gunna call you and ask you about if you were still planning on going up there this week.

I got my ass kicked pretty bad on Saturday, I'm going to be at 7 Springs on Tuesday for sure to try it again. I'm hurting so badly today.

Anybody feel like riding with me a bit and giving me some advice?
heres a pointer. Keep your arms like way out to ur sides so that your body looks like a T. You'll notice that there is more leverage and things seem more fluid. Thats a big tip I give to people when they start riding it seems to help. Especially when carving from left to right. Turn with your hips and move your shoulders where you want to go keeping your arms extended the whole time. It make seem weird or think you look funny but believe me it helps.

are we down for tomorrow? ...dcp, drrice, tj, mooz, buehler?

looks like liberty is only open tonight, due to the winds. hopefully they run normal hours tomorrow.

if they don't, should we plan to hit up seven springs instead? make the call in the morning?
