| Rob Story |
 Rob Story joined our team in 2006 and came up to speed
contributing content from the Virginias. He was a
senior at Virginia Tech last season, majoring in Ocean Engineering and
plans to attend Grad school there after graduating. He has a
self-professed love of anything to do with the outdoors,
including paddling, hiking, biking, caving, and
mountaineering.
Skiing is now an obsession with Rob and we've asked him to
contribute content from his many trips to the mountains of
the Southeast and Mid Atlantic. He spends as many days as
possible trying to avoid running into fallen beginners at
Winterplace, and making as many trips to Snowshoe as
possible.
Rob previously maintained his own dedicated ski website, but
dropped it in favor of writing for us.

 News
14 Carolina Meteorologist Matthew East recently joined
our team of contributors to SkiNC and SkiSoutheast.com. We
receive weather contributions from many meteorologists
around the region, however we are featuring Matthew on this
page because he has decided to post winter weather updates
for our readers every few days throughout the season.
Matthew East was born and raised near Birmingham, Ala. He
earned his bachelor's degree in meteorology and a minor in
communication from Mississippi State University.
An experienced storm spotter, Matthew was part of the North
Mississippi Severe Storm Intercept Team (NOMISSIT), while in
college. He chased storms during numerous severe weather
outbreaks in the lower Mississippi Valley and even reported
live via telephone during 2002's Hurricane Lili.
In 2002, Matthew began his television weather career at WTVA/WLOV-TV
in Tupelo, Miss., and quickly moved up to the evening and
weekend meteorologist spot. During his time in Tupelo he led
coverage for a number of severe weather events.
He has earned the American Meteorological Society Seal of
Approval and received the Associated Press' third-place
award for Best Weathercast in Mississippi for 2005.
Matthew lives in Charlotte with his wife Lora Beth, children
Jayden, Grace, and Julianna, and dogs Heili and Puppy."
When he is not keeping an eye on the rapidly-changing North
Carolina weather, Matthew loves spending time with his
family. He is also an avid sports fan and he never misses an
opportunity to keep up with his Mississippi State Bulldogs.
