this thread has probably been done before, but I don't have the search option, if you can point me in the directions of anywhere that isn't Sugar Mtn. that I could potentially do as a spur of the moment trip this weekend, please post all ideas, websites etc. I need all the help I can get last minute. I have some friends coming in from Boston.

1/10/2006 12:11:28 AM

oh look who is back

i bet you'll schedule it for that night you're supposed to meet a tww'er

1/10/2006 12:15:05 AM

Not unless i'm supposed to meet a TWWer THIS DAMN WEEKEND, since its obviously all you do is research it, you should know the date doesn't correspond with this weekend. Loser.

1/10/2006 12:20:20 AM

an internet fight. cool.

1/10/2006 12:24:02 AM

if you have friends coming in from boston

they're probably used to real mountains up north

anywhere you take them down here will suck, excluding possibly west virginia

and why would they bring their gear?

nice dig at the end there alias

1/10/2006 12:24:29 AM

No one is bringing shit....they want to go see the NC Mountains (I figured i'd rent a cabin)...and potentially ski, renting equipment is not that expensive. Stop being so weird. I'm asking a legitimate question here, the only time i've been to the mountains of NC was when we went to GSM for a few days when I first moved here.

[Edited on January 10, 2006 at 12:44 AM. Reason : Where did I say anything about them coming down here with gear? I'm trying to entertain.]

1/10/2006 12:43:57 AM

^ He does have a point. Anyone coming down from Boston that has done any skiing up there will be disappointed with the quality of mountain down here. that said, you may want to check out http://www.skisoutheast.com for NC and southeast skiing.

Jesus. Go to Snowshoe. Why would ANYONE want to go skiing in North Carolina.

go to http://www.snowshoemtn.com

That is where myself, Pat, and a ton of other people go every year (soon this year hopefully!)

1/10/2006 12:15:45 PM

I HOPE YOU GO HEAD FIRST INTO A TREE

Me and a few friends are goin feb 3-5th jose cuervo games of winter weekend.

1/10/2006 12:53:12 PM

It's warm as hell here. I think the skiing anywhere in the southeast is going to suck over the next 7-10 days.

1/10/2006 1:07:18 PM

Hell yeah Bryan, we're gonna tear some shit up Feb 3rd-5th.

CarlyAnne, go to Snowshoe. Nowhere else in the southeast is worth going to.

1/10/2006 1:26:20 PM

^^^ sweet.. we went that weekend last year too

^ it's cuervo weekend again.

i assumed that if you're willing to put a ski trip together with such quickness, it would probably be because these people are avid skiers
avid skiers aren't going to want rented equipment

my second reply was an actual legitimate response, for the hell of it

i wasn't being wierd

What area are yall stayin at??? Were up in the summit I think I gotta check again. I told the lady I want the closest place to the bars that sleeps six.

1/10/2006 1:43:58 PM

I'm not sure yet.. Summit is where we always stayed in the past but there are less of us going this time. Probably staying in a condo right on the slopes this time I think is what the guy who is planning it told me..

1/10/2006 1:44:53 PM

CarlyAnne,

since this weekend is out, how does the 20th or 21st work for the Meet TWW party?

your choice, Friday or Saturday night at 8pm - 518 West's bar.



I'm sorry, what's that? You can't come - I figured as much Sarose

1/10/2006 1:50:08 PM

wait

she was supposed to meet a tww'er this weekend
wasn't she erudite

1/10/2006 1:53:22 PM

The lady that I made my reservations with told me that weekend gets booked up quick. Are yall stayin sunday for the Super Bowl? Im tryin to even if I end up watching it at snowshoe then stayin the night in a shitty motel or something. Dont really feel like driving back then trying to watch it after all the festivities through out the weekend.

1/10/2006 1:57:52 PM

CarlyAnne dissappears as soon as anyone called her out.

how very Saroselike

1/10/2006 2:08:33 PM

I gotta agree with everyone else is saying about the crappy skiing in NC, but I used to go to Boone when I was out on breaks and had the whole spending time with the fam obligations(which knocked out an extended trip to WV). I like Hawknest the best due to the lack of idiots from places south of NC and they have a twilight skiing, which works out pretty smooth once the day sessions is over. Usually there's only about 50 people out at night. With the weather, conditions probably won't be so great, but at least you'll be able to get some turns in.

1/10/2006 3:41:33 PM

In all honestly, every where in NC besides Sugar, which sucks slightly less, sucks donkey balls. Your best bet is to go up to VA or WV and go to Winterplace, Snowshoe, or Massanutten. Winterplace and Massanutten are both only about 4 hours away and I've made several weekends trips there before. Have fun.

1/10/2006 4:51:54 PM

<- just got back from a week skiing in Steamboat Springs, CO
kinda spoils skiing anywhere else for me..

1/10/2006 7:53:45 PM

Jeepxj420, we're staying in a condo that sleeps 8 in the village. Its right by all the new work they've been doing and I believe its a very short distance from the indoor/outdoor pool (score!).

Should be a good time. We were up for that Jose Cuervo weekend last year too.

We're not staying for the Superbowl. I don't want to take that monday off, and a 470 mile drive back to nyc means after a full day of skiing I'm gonna get home pretty fucking late

1/11/2006 1:36:21 PM

You're not going to tear anything up if the temps don't come down.

1/11/2006 1:40:35 PM

If you're talking to me, I'm not too worried. HIGHLY unlikely that this weather will continue for the next month.

1/11/2006 1:46:59 PM

Not really. This year is shaping up exactly like last year. A decent week or so around the christmas time frame, and then not another good week until mid/late Feb.

Talk to me when you get back and see who was right. Anyway, you live in New York, why Snowshoe? Sounds dumb to me.

Nice! I'll probably be hittin up the hot tub after a day of boarding.

How close to the bars?

Some friends of mine told me that they were up there either last year or the year before and told me it was kick ass drunk time.

1/11/2006 2:37:04 PM

okay I haven't read the thread, so I don't know if someone has mentioned this or if they spent the whole time calling you an alias

Wintergreen is a great place to go, it's in VA or West VA, I don't remember which. But it has a lot of runs, and good ones compared to most of the skiing they have around here.

1/11/2006 4:06:41 PM

^^Hell yeah it was a good drunk time last year. Of course, my group did bring 2 kegs along for good measure

I'll let you know. I'm going skiing in snowshoe more to have a good time with my frat bros from back in college. Most of us live far apart now so its a chance to see them. As far as being up here and skiing, yes I know there's better around. I'm going to the Catskills next weekend, and Vermont at least once or twice.

1/11/2006 6:07:13 PM

You have inspired me bring a keg. Thats a great idea. Oh yeah were bringin an air mattress so late night drunken sledding.

1/11/2006 7:11:22 PM

One more week!!!

1/27/2006 2:11:20 PM

hell yeah!!!

JOSE CUERVO WEEKEND, SNOWSHOE, WV!! THIS COMING WEEKEND! I can't wait!!


And why would she not have a search option? I'm not premie, and I can use it.

1/28/2006 12:59:25 PM

Everyone bring party supplies!

1/28/2006 7:53:44 PM

1/28/2006 8:08:33 PM

how far driving is snowshoe by car

1/28/2006 9:02:52 PM

I'll be there with 3-4 of my boys too.

1/28/2006 10:46:27 PM

Sorry guys-false information!

I was just told we're going the 2nd Jose Cuervo Weekend-the one that's the 10th-12th!
This whole time I thought we were going the first weekend.


Oh, I have a question-Has anyone taken the Advanced Lessons or "Super Group Lessons" as Snowshoe calls them? I took the beginner lessons and passed really well and early. But I tried a blue slope and ended up getting pissed/frustrated and walking down. I think I need the advanced lessons, but I am wondering if they're too advanced for me...
Don't get me wrong-I CAN ski, just need some brushing up really.

[Edited on January 28, 2006 at 11:58 PM. Reason : m]

1/28/2006 11:50:28 PM

^^I believe its around 300 miles from Raleigh, but takes around 6 hours. The best way to get up there is to take 40 to Greensboro then hop on 220. I don't recall excactly what roads after that, but they get increasingly twisty

^Yes, I think you should take that "Advanced" lesson. It can't be that advanced, b/c advanced skiers don't take lessons. If you can't handle a blue then you need some work, take the lesson

[Edited on January 29, 2006 at 9:58 AM. Reason : k]

1/29/2006 9:57:39 AM

^Thanks! Then it's DEFINITELY gonna be a lesson! And hope I don't get in the process! It says online that it's for people who want to do blue and black slopes! I am a thrill seeker, and am not really afraid of anything, but I get really nervous when I go fast because I don't feel in control-and nervous skiiers have accidents.

1/29/2006 1:40:27 PM

I map quested the trip and it told me about 6 hours. Leavin friday morning at like 6 hopefully earlier. I just hope I dont get too drunk during the day, I'll be hittin the terrain park with all the fun rails and boxes.
