welcome davis!

sweet deal on living at the base of snowshoe. hows it looking so far this year? they are scheduled to open in about 2 weeks i believe. the weather up here has been crap so i might be venturing down there sooner than later.

T.J.- Snowshoe's website is boasting 9.5 in October, which was true (I actually went up for my pass that day). Of course, it was gone about 2 days later. We just had about 3 days of rain, but its snowing now. They need the rain to fill Shaver's Lake so the guns have some ammo. The new fanguns up top look nice, and the folks I know that make the snow say they really put it out. If it stays the current temps, they should be able to cover enough for a Thanksgiving opening. Of course, they'll open come hell or high water....even if they have to empty every ice machine on the mountain onto Skidder. Opening day usually means one top to bottom run, 45 minute lift lines, and 3000 southern tourists on the "ribbon of death". God I hope this year is better.

If you see an Arbor ALT outside any of the bars, come on in and say hi.

I'm in SLT right now... i have season passes to Heavenly too. Who would you recommend for a park lesson?

permalink · 11-27-2008, 01:43 PM

the names which come to mind immediately are josh spoelstra and duggan smith at the california main lodge, jody blatchley at the gondola and hamish drummond at boulder.

you can see profiles for duggan and josh at: Skiing & Snowboarding Instructors Profiles

while we are occasionally able to accomodate park instruction in a regular group lesson, we can only guarantee a park lesson in a private lesson. as with all our products, availability can change. for private lessons, reservations are strongly recommended.
