CLAYSBURG, Pa. — This winter of discontent in the mid-Atlantic made finding the time and and place to ski or snowboard a tough one. My friend Ryan and I determined that Saturday, February 4 would fit our schedules the best and I spent too much time and energy worrying about the forecast for that day. [...]
This winter I discovered the Web site DCSki.com | @DCSki when I was looking for a “lost ski resort” off of I-66. It turned out to be Ski Cherokee in Linden, Va. I have since enjoyed the many reviews of mid-Atlantic resorts that DCSki.com offers. I decided to set up a Q&A with M. Scott [...]
A brief respite from drought and warmth in Western Pennsylvania this past weekend looks to be nullified by rain. Hmph! The Poconos and rest of the Northeast may be fairing worse. Apparently, there wasn’t even snow at Vail, Colo. two weekends ago! Just brutal. We’re going to run out of winter before it even gets [...]
Earlier in the week I posted about the tough times for Northeast ski areas. It isn’t just the Northeast — most of the whole country is suffering from a snow drought according to Capital Weather Gang:
The snow cover across the U.S. can be best described by one word: pathetic. Here it is January 6, and [...]
In mid-December, I was in Pennsylvania for the first portion of in-laws Christmas. I was pleased to see that there was snow at Ski Roundtop and Liberty Mountain. Since then though, it hasn’t been good early winter for Northeast ski resorts. NPR reported that it was a “brown Christmas” for the Adirondacks. New England and [...]
Every once in a while, I have recalled there being a ski resort somewhere off of Interstate 66 about 20 years ago. I never went there, but was curious if my memory was accurate. Recently, I was able to get the right search terms together and came up with this from DCSki.com: Mid-Atlantic Lost Ski [...]
The first snow of the 2011-2012 winter has already fallen here on the East Coast, so my thought have turned to skiing. Hopefully, I will make it out to the slopes more than once this winter. I also hope to get my 3 year old son on the slopes for the first time. I would [...]
MERCERSBURG, Pa. — I typically get in one day of skiing annually and I was concerned that was going to be too warm when I went out way back on February 12 — I thought we’d be skiing in “white mud.” Thankfully, despite 42° temperatures, the conditions at Whitetail in southern Pennsylvania were surprisingly [...]
The latest snowstorm to hit BeltwayLand happened (for the most part) while I was in the Poconos skiing with my wife. We were at Camelback and it is pretty much the same as it always is except that my favorite slope, the Nile Mile has been changed to a blue square from a double green [...]
It all goes downhill, nicely, for fit skiers – USA TodayWhy yes, all of that snow in Happy Valley last week did get me thinking about skiing already. While we are months away from hitting the slopes, the time to prepare is now. I have previously linked to these article and found the exercises really [...]
