Snowboarding at Snow Trails!!!

Well, I certainly have an activity worth a blog post now! I hit the slopes for the first time this season today and the snow was actually in great shape. It was hardly icy at all and the high for the day was 23, so it was not slushy either. All the runs were not open yet, but they are shooting toward having the whole place open early next week, which would be great because I'll be back on Tuesday!


There was a pretty view from the top of this run. You can see the snow on the tree was from the snow makers as well. They were making lots of snow over the last week and they have a solid base now.
I went to see the Raptors play the Cavs. on Wednesday in Cleveland and narrowly missed their big snow storm, I heard today from some boarders from Cleveland area that they got somewhere between 5-10 inches on Thursday. The Raptors now have a new #15, Jorge Garbajosa, and they have a lot of European players now, they played a great, unselfish game. The Cavs. wore their orange '86-'87 throwback jerseys.

I like this picture because you can see the sun through the trees and the snow maker to the right. It was a pretty afternoon. I spent a lot of the time on the lift as opposed to riding, but compared with living in the Sunny South this is pretty amazing to have a Ski Resort a mere 30-35 min. drive away! With my Season Pass I am certainly planning on getting my money's worth. Well, it quit posting once again. You can't even begin to imagine the pretty sight of Snow Trails from these pictures, you actually need to come visit and go riding there yourself to see!!
