Pretty crazy (in a good way) at 7Springs this weekend.

First there was Telepaloozia for the free heel crowd with instructions and races including a wild up hill / down hill venue with a Le Mans style start and mixed up hidden skis. Very entertaining!

Second there was a USSA A (ECS) & B (EQS) Mogul event (Mogul Smackdown) moved from Alpine Meadow to Gunnar slope (quicker lift service via 6 pack and better pitch for the A athletes). Even with the lousy weather every is experiencing 7S pulled it off (resorts in more NE locations floundered and had issues). Pretty impressive to watch kids age 7 and up bumping and jumping.

Well done 7S!

I was at Timberline a few weekends ago, and they were charging for plastic cups of water in the restruant. Apparently, they were even charging for water with a purchased meal.

Food comment retracted - posted by DCsnark

Correction - the food is not terrible, actually it's decent and insanely cheap. Ribs are good. The beer is also cheap at $4 a draft. Whitegrass cafe is also a must go. Everything in wv is so much cheaper than DC it's mind blowing.

I stayed in the timberline hotel last visit. $200 a night on a holiday weekend and ski in ski out with parking right in front. Perfectly clean, nice bedding, brand new furnishings. No elevator, just leave the skis in the car on the way in.

From DC proper, it took 4.5 on the way out at night, through 66 bumper to bumper rush hour, snow drifts, and a bit of snow on the road. It took 3:15 minutes on the way home with perfect roads, no traffic and doing 10 over the speed limit.

White lightning imo is my favorite run in the Mid-Atlantic. It's long, very wide, has a nice grade, has nice soft natural powder. They leave the side of it ungroomed and when there is enough snow the trees are skiable.
