Long drive for me, but id like to get one last day or two in. I know there is a chance of snow this week. Would it be worth the effort? Never been to SS before.

Im only interested in Green/blue trails.

I was there last weekend and they had 40 slopes open with very little bare spots.

IMO, it's well worth $26 bucks at the ticket office or check out this thread for a cheaper ticket.

If things go my way, I hope to be there Fri, Sat and Sun.

Up to 3" of snow on Thursday, nights below freezing the rest of the week, so they will be grooming every night, making some great conditions to the end of the season. Get out early when they drop the ropes!.

If your capable of skiing blues, dont be afraid of the black diamonds at Snowshoe, most black diamond runs are just a little harder blue runs, at least on the Snowshoe side of the mountain, and they are easier skied early in the morning when they are freshly groomed.

My buddies condo is booked this weekend at SS, so were headed to VT!..

Looks like Snowshoe is calling for a little more snow this weekend.

335i xDrive? If not, you may wish you had the station wagon come Sunday.
