CLAYSBURG, Pa. — Blue Knob ski area is nestled in a state park of the same name. The Summit Lodge, is not particularly noteworthy in appearance, other than being at the top instead of the bottom of the slopes, but that’s part of the charm. The interior is actually a little refreshing in the sense [...]
CLAYSBURG, Pa. — On my favorite slope at Blue Knob, Jack Rabbit, there is a primitive cabin on the left side.
I got off my skis and took a look, half expecting to see the Necronomicon. It wasn’t there, but I wouldn’t have been surprised.
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 [...]
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The second snowfall of 2012 is another small one and it came with ice. We have just about an inch of snow here in the West End.
Beautiful powder starting falling here around 10 p.m. last night. Sadly, by this morning, it was covered in a icy glaze. There is currently no [...]
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Yesterday’s snowfall was surprisingly measurable. I took several readings with the same method I always use (a yard stick in one hand, camera in the other) and all came in over 1½ inches. I grabbed this photo (sorry for the blurry) as the median of the readings. Let’s go with 1.75 inches, [...]
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 [...]
Accuweather: 2 to 4 inches of snow on the way to Centre County – CDT
Snow football aficionados like myself are thrilled that big snowstorm that is hitting much of the Northeast should hit State College for tomorrow’s Penn State vs. Illinois game.
The temperature on Saturday is expected to be around 32 degrees in the morning [...]
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 [...]
TYSONS CORNER, Va. — The first “big” snow storm of 2011 left 7 inches of snow in Tysons Corner. More may have fallen, but it appears there was some freezing rain at the end of the storm.
There are many abanndoned cars on area roads, but this morning’s commute required nothing more than more patience. [...]
