Fellow DCSkiers! Sorry to miss the get together - I saw everyone gathering at the lift Saturday AM, but had hands full getting family geared up, loaded, and moving before the wind and cold shortened my daughter's desire to ski Saturday.

Now that I've seen the pictures, I know I met SkiBumMsp on Sunday at the top of Pearly Glades. I was getting ready to ski in with my daughter when you came down, said something like "looks pretty fun", then dropped in.

Kim: I know who you are now! I will make sure to introduce myself next time I see you on the mountain.

Jimmy: sorry to miss you again on Sunday. We had a change of plans halfway up the silver queen when I managed to drop a bag of M&Ms onto SS. My daughter insisted on skiing down to get them, so we didn't make it over to Pearly Glades until after NASTAR closed.

Speaking of NASTAR - both my wife and daughter won Silver medals Sunday and I took home my first bronze. It was a big challenge - I probably dropped $20 over the past couple weekends getting that pin!

But the unquestioned highlight of the weekend, including all the pow, tree skiing and ski racing HAD TO BE meeting MR AND THE FUTURE MRS FISHNSKI in Timbers Saturday with an encore in the lodge Sunday! It was great to finally meet the grand Shaman of the West Virginia Alpps. Hope you had a safe drive home Andy. However, if my wife meets too many more of my internet buddies she might cut back on my computer time!

Holding out hope for a last weekend cold blast!

Great Pic's. Does anyone have photo's of the Lava flow? It was great to see, I didn't have my camera with me.

Way to go folks. Nice pics and group shot.

I'm tempted to bring my son out there for 3/24&25 although I hear it's going to be 60+ degrees??

I have a number of pictures including some of the Lava Flow.
I'll try to post them tonight or tomorrow.

Anyway you seem like a laid back really cool dude..unlike jimmi(The Snob) who I passed several times without even a nod hello Ski bum..now that I see what you look like I realize that your the Dude that was wolfing down some of that fried Chicken & mashed potatoes during a lunch break.I tried to snatch a piece off your plate but you never let your eyes wonder off your meal long enough Was that the Colonel sitting next to you?Sunday I saw you with the Blond curly haired Dude at the top of the lift & tried pointing out to you the snow that was trying to push off of the Ridge behind the state park but I guess my Curly brunette/1/8 grey hair didn't get your attention just playin!
The Snow had that Colorado Crunch to it & every run Rocked! I brought out my old school 215 Solomans..Long & fast on the groomers Tried a speed run down Whitelightning & when Passing my woman I let out a Rebel yell that scared the bajimis out of her ..Went about 2/3 the way down without turning by the time I passed her before making my power slide!...SKI IN CONTROL.... There is no other place more scenic than the Valley & the surrounding WV ALPPS in its full Glory like it was Sunday Morn after the storm...Maybe as..but not More.....Clay,Kwill & the rest of you all..Keep on gettin on! I'm GONE FISHIN!

Great pictures and reports folks, thanks!

It's great to see DCSki readers connecting with each other on the slopes, and that the site has gained enough momentum over the years to facilitate these impromptu gatherings. I hope to join up in future years! I'm just thankful I got three days of skiing in this season, since my knee was acting up earlier. Still, it feels like the season is ending just as I was getting warmed up.

That's Utah snob to you , that's why my season pass is at the Deer Valley of the ALPPS . Next time ur in the valley to ski, just check with any member of my entourage to see if they can arrange some time with me for you . I thought being disguised as a skier might throw you off, but the helmet and dark goggles still did not prevent you from stalking me?? Your superNatural abilities SCARE me andy...... your ability to predict the big one is uncanny, did you notice that my lei matched the stitching on my gloves??

I'll get your Jimmigraph next time funny guy!
