Wanna SKI/Board? GOTTA SUPPORT!! GOTTA GO!!

Although various posters have said it a number of times recently, the fact is that most mid-Atlantic ski areas close due to a lack of customers, not a lack of snow on the slopes, and it is especially true this year. Just go on line and view the Whitetail and Seven Springs web cams. I just did at 11:15am, 16 March. With the present great conditions, I still could only count about 20 people on the slopes or in the lift lines at both resorts. This is amazing! We DCSkiers gotta go skiing and riding.

I did my part by supporting Whitetail this past Monday. Plenty of elbow room.

I'll be supporting Utah the next two weekends...

I agree. However, don't you also believe that it's partly the resort's fault as well? I mean they really don't market the spring skiing the way they do the skiing in december and january. Although I enjoy not having the crowds and lift lines, I think they could do themselves a great big favor by doing a little marketing of what we know to be true Warmer temps, snow to die for, and cheaper rates! For god's sake, what else could you ask for?

JohnL,

While you're out there in the land of many wives, here's a trivia question for you: Who is Smilin' Jack, what's his favorite terrain and why's he always smiling?

I'm off to Whitetail in three hours! I can't wait!!!

Smile for the web cam. And make sure you're wearing some clothes. Unless you're the sister of Border Babe.

Jimmy,
How many guesses to I get?
