Anyone EVER been to a North Carolina resort???????

[Mellow Yellow]

I've mentioned this to a few of you on here.....it looks like I'm moving the Charlotte....going from bad resorts to worse I fear .....anyone have any thoughts or experience at any southern resort? I have been to Snowshoe a few times, but that is as far south as I've gone...

Thanks....

Yellow just ggogle NC resorts I had found one but forget the name, the elevation was good like 4000 ft but they didn't list vert but from the trail maps it apeared lacking like less than 500 ft vert. On the bright side though you'd likely be king of the snowboarders on that mountain. BTW if you move there my sister lives there maybe we can ride together for a day or two if I get time to visit next winter.

Yes....I suppose I better brush up on nascar....my fiance will be teaching in Kannopolis.....

king of the boarders...ehh...:D

I can only imagine the comments my Burner will generate.... :rolleyes:

[Jagger]

Just tell em you were trying to make skis out of it. (I still laugh when I think of that.)

[Mellow Yellow]

The more I look at beech and sugar...the more I think it may not be as bad as I thought..... Hmmmm...SVES in NC... :D

maybe I can take on a missionary role...try to convert some of the native skidders!

Hey! You are moving the wrong way!!!! :cool: What's up with that? Tell your fiance to get a job in New York or New England states!!

Talked to a few people who lived in N.Carolina, but they haven't been to the ski resorts! Sorry?!

SVES ... N.C. ... nah ... you'll just have to make a trip back to PA, or a weekender in W.Va.

Nascar ... NOOOOOOO ... don't convert to that!! Next you'll be wearing a big ol' cowboy hat and singing some depressing country muzak.

Love you new avatar!

but I'm already a big fan of bluegrass and country music!

heck, I've even met and talked with Dr. Ralph Stanley (http://drralphstanley.com/index.shtml)

Yellow no not nascar that automaticaly lowers your IQ 75 pionts. I think my sister got more snow in Charlotte this winter than we did here. She says its hillarious a 1/4 inch of snow shuts the whole town down, they send everybody home from work and school.

If the S.V.E.S. is looking for a new home (or at least a road show) We'd love to host it here:

organize a SVES in MA....why not!

Well I am moving within the next 2 weeks..... looking forward to my first winter of southern persuasion.....

Shred, Mar, Jagger.... no worries.... I'll be up to Springs.... just give me advanced warning!

Shred.... now that I'm making the big bucks :rolleyes: I may be able to go on one of your adventures... keep me posted on when and where you plan to go next season....

[Zcarver]

......Yikes!!! I heard that NC didn't do too bad this season. I guess instead of riding a 25+ days season I would have to settle for 7+ days. Boo HOO!

My other choice is CA. Hmmmmmm

appalachian ski mtn is very short but can have great snow. it is ok for early season tune up. i live in statesville which is about one hr ten min away from app. do you street carve?

[Mellow Yellow]

nope, I don't street carve...not even sure I know what that is!

how are sugar and beech for carving...or what area out of the whole lot is the best for carving?

Statesville....I'll be living in Kannapolis...that's fairly close to you...isn't it?

[wally sipes]

hi, beech sux! sugar is the longest with 1200 vert and it can be ok early before the snow gets recycled. app is short but they make a ton of show every night if the can. sugars grooming stinks. app does a great job. statesville is 45 min from kannapolis. let me know if i can be any help to you but i don't shirt about nascar and don't want to fk know. aloha, wally

[Mellow Yellow]

what's nascar..... :D

[wally sipes]

autos going around and around! not pulling g's like a coiler from turn to turn!
