First, Happy Veterans Day! We, here at SkiSoutheast.com want to take this moment and THANK those of you who have or are serving our country. It is a day to honor, to remember and to say thank you to the men and women who have served and who are currently serving our country. There are 24.9 million military veterans in the United States, and to all of them, we owe gratitude and respect. Thank you all for being great partriots, heroes, and for putting your lives on the line for our country and for protecting us, so each of us, our families and our children can live in the greatest country on the earth. We SALUTE you and proudly honor those who sacrificed ALL for our country…
CAN I BORROW A CUP OF SUGAR???
The words, "Thin areas" has shown up in the snow report for the lone ski area operating today. However, one quick look at the LIVE cam will tell you that Sugar Mountain looks pretty sweet despite being a cup or two short of full coverage.
Sugar will operate for day sessions today on a base of 4-18" with one lift servicing TWO slopes from the 3/4 station. If you see my daughter out on the slopes this morning…say "hi". I’m jealous!
SNOWSHOE MAKING A STATEMENT…
This is straight from Laura Parquette, Bill Rock and the Snowshoe team for all SkiNC and SkiSoutheasters…
"We’d like to extend a special skiSoutheast.com ONLY “season stoke” package. Snowshoe is committed to doing everything we can to open on Nov 24th, and with some cold weather moving back in next week, we don’t anticipate that being a problem.
We can’t wait for another great season and hopefully making some turns with our skiSoutheast friends. Bill and the whole team are so appreciative of this group of enthusiastic skiers and riders, we wanted to make sure we showed our appreciation early and often! We’re looking forward to another great Summit, but we hope to see lots of you before then too. Thank you for everything you personally, and the whole Skisoutheast community, do for the sport. Here’s to another great season getting underway sooner rather than later!"
