I guess Timberline's Glade Skiing promotion is working.  I took a warmup run down Sallie this morning and I passed this guy skiing with his young daughter.  Half way down i stopped and when he caught up he stopped next to me and said " Are you Glade skiing?"  I didn't know quite what to say, then he said, "when your heel lifts off the skis is that Glade Skiing" to which I replied "no that is Telemark Skiing".  He then asked me what Glade Skiing was and I told him it was basically skiing in the woods.  He replied, "I don't think I'll try that". 

Only at TImberline.

Oh wow. Haha!  I can totally see that.

I saw the base at Whitegrass was down to just 4 inches as of this am. I'm guessing that all mid-Atlantic off-piste options will be completely starting over.

We did a bunch of Glade Skiing in the rain yesterday.  Off the Wall (or the Drop I always mix them up) was great.  When you visiting Vic. Also, they did do a bunch of work in the trees clearing out scrub brush and downfall.  The rumor is that JR and Anderson did it this summer so I think it was done right.

Actually not just a rumor - John has spent the entire summer working (and in the 10+ years, never known him to work this hard). JR, on the other hand, was in the best shape this summer (not bad for an "old man"). 

The result: some really cool trails for DH biking, and heaven for tree skiing.
