very nice! Thanks!

Getting NUKED! Go get it folks!

Would love to get some of that, but it was not in the cards today. This is offset a bit by the fact I got out to Massanutten for a couple hours last night. They reported 6-8 inches and I would say this is pretty accurate. Powder turns along the sides of Showtime for most of that time (with a few dings on my skis). Heavy snow but very manageable. The centers of the trails were interesting - the earlier rain/sleet combined with the falling temps made for a hard surface underneath the soft snow.

Back on topic: thanks to everyone who has posted this year on conditions in Canaan Valley. Let's hear some trip reports from this latest storm.

I skied every single day this year (no exageration) but this past friday was probably the best ski day of the year.... 8-10" of fluffy powder on bomber solid base and bluebird awesomeness.  

the rain on wednesday that took out some of the lower valley floor snow, made for a great show at blackwater falls the next day when the snow returned. a rare photo you don't see everyday.....the river rarely gets this high anytime, especially not in winter!

 

agree! Friday was a very special day up there!!!

Awesome!
