This is the webcam view from Canaan Heights. National Wildlife Area + the 2 lift served ski areas in the valley, Timberline on the left and Canaan Valley on the right. As you can see the snow is hanging on remarkably well. If I were not needing to rest sore knees before next weeks Alaska trip, I'd be there.

Good question Connie. I've been living vicariously through Denis's posts this year. There is jealousy. Actually, if he gets it this good every year, year after year, I don't want to know. So maybe bad question Connie.

I'm sure he will torture us with detailed reports of skiing in Alaska. I certainly hope so. smile

I am leaving now to help my sister. Have made preliminary contact w/ the Alaska people and we can probably push the trip back a week or so. More later.

the snow was pretty awesome yesterday with the colder night temps. smooth buttery corn top to bottom on the drop and off the wall still. some big bare spots on sally so had to take ski's off a few times unless it was smooth grass to cross while skiing uphill. got to ski quality snow and mountain bike dry trails in the same day in the same 10mile radius.

Denis, I am so very sorry. Keep us posted. If you are still in a skiing mode, there is plenty left out West too - not as far as Alaska. Yours, Connie Lawn

Denis,

Very sorry to hear about Dick. My condolences.

My memory is a bit hazy, but didn't I ski with him last year at Alta? There were 3-4 of your friends/family there that day.
