Interesting article today in the Charleston Gazette written by Rick Steelhammer, with pix.

Canaan Valley Institute making land usable for hikers, anglers and campers
DAVIS - Since acquiring a five-square-mile tract of forest, river and wetlands just east of the town of Davis five years ago from Allegheny Energy, the nonprofit Canaan Valley Institute has done much to encourage public access.

07/14/08 08:55 PM Realtor in Durango Area by jeffo4

Does anyone have any history with a realtor in the Durango, CO area. I am looking for a ski in/out condo If someone knows a realtor that knows the resort area that would be great. Or has something of their own for sale.

07/14/08 07:59 PM Anyone have a good travel agent to recommend? by scootertig

Looking ahead to next year's trip, I think I may wish to engage a travel agent to score a good lodging/lift ticket package. The goal (as of now) is to catch Amtrak to Whitefish, MT, and then fly home from Spokane, WA (I don't think we can take the time to take the train both ways).

Anyway - I may be able to string something together cheaply on my own, but I'm interested in seeing what value a travel agent might present.

Anyone know a good skiing-knowledgeable travel agent they'd recommend? If they can find us a comparable trip (that they'd recommend), we're not locked into the Whitefish thing. The article in the Post last week got me thinking about trying the travel agent approach...

07/14/08 12:03 PM Dolly Sods Camping/Hiking by David

A few friends and I spent the weekend in Dolly Sods. We had a blast and are hoping to go back real soon. We camped at the Red Creek Campground, which is a few miles south of Bear Rocks. We spent all day Saturday exploring the area and taking in the spectacular views. In the morning we traveled up to Bear Rocks and spent several hours climbing in and around that area. We spent the remainder of the daylight hiking in the wilderness area. Right before it got dark we went back up to Dolly Sods North to try and get lucky and see a bear, but we had no luck. All-in-all it was a good trip. Not to mention that we ate REALLY good.....

Can't wait to get back! Here are a few pictures I thought you guys might enjoy.















Look familiar? (Todd)

07/14/08 09:55 AM Summer vacation travel down by JimK



I've made a couple visits to the shore in recent weeks; first to Ocean City, MD, then the Outer Banks of NC. Traffic and business at both places seemed to be down about one third. Purely anecdotal observation on my part, but I think the economy is having a real dampening effect on vacation travel. Even Interstate 95 was not too bad returning to the DC area last night from NC.
It should be interesting this winter for determined ski vacationers. If it's something you've put off in the past due to cost or crowds, this might be the year to hit your favorite resort for Christmas or President's week.

I've been checking out the cams every day. Up until last week or so, there was still quite a bit of snow on the ground, but it's disappearing fast (and grass is taking its place).

Here's the view from the top of the Collins lift, looking over towards the Sugarloaf lift:

So what are your favorite mid-atlantic spots for an after skiing drink or two? The Foggy Goggle at SevenSprings has always been one of my favorites but i think there's nothing better on a sunny day than a brew or two out on the deck at Arbuckles, down at the bottom of Cupp Run at Snowshoe. Nice break after we're finished at Cupp. You can watch the tangle of people slowing down, or not, to get back on the lift. I've seen some great wipeouts and collisons there. A great place to get fortified for the return to the triage on the basin side.

07/10/08 08:28 PM Teens and ski equipment by GDWindowpane

Okay so I'm new here and I'm sure this has been covered sometime but I just can't seem to find any threads on it so I'm going to ask again. Sorry for asking again if it has been covered...

I have two boys, soon to be 13 and 15. Both have been skiing Wintergreen 7 or 8 years... I would say my younger son is a low end intermediate and my older son is an advanced intermediate. Both are comfortable on all the slopes at Wintergreen.

Currently we rent skis and boots for them by the season. I have been some what reluctant to buy boots and or skis until they are pretty much done growing. Feet wise I think they are pretty static. At least I haven't bought any new tennis shoes because they were too small recently. So boots might be an option in the future but what about skis? We are going to be skiing heavy again this year at Wintergreen with a possible trip west this spring. Is it too early to take the plunge and buy them some? I guess a ski swap would be an option. How is the resale on used skis?

This is going to be a long one...

Now on to my wife and I, we both have boots that we are happy with. I rent demo skis each year for the season as well. My wife is turning into her mother and seems to enjoy managing the base camp on Eagle Swoop and watching us ski most days. Out west she will be on slopes though. Should we/I make the investment on a pair skis for me/her? My theory has been kind of like leasing a car, rent for the season and you get the new skis every year. However at $160/season for the past few years I could have probably had a pretty nice pair...

I'm an intermediate/advanced skiier and wife is an intermediate. We both aren't too agressive, just like the smooth carving. However, the boys may make me push the limit occaisonally...

Whew, so that being said what is everyone's reccomendations?

Thanks in advance...
