I think he was thinking of his little Baggie. Not all snow is on the slopes

Are you in the nashville ski club?

Lucky(?) for me, I am a poor to fair snowboarder, and I can switch up midday and ride blues and be sufficiently challenged, and Snowshoe has a lot of blue terrain
Given the distance, I would only drive to Timberline if it offers something the closer resorts don't (since it requires an overnight stay that far away), I will take a look at davidski's trip reports. Thanks for the heads up - I need some good reading to pass the rest of the off-season.
Just replied in your other thread. Nah, I think Cupp will be within your ability - just relax and take your time. This Christmas went to Snowshoe, but didn't take my skis. Surprisingly none of the black runs turned out to be too difficult (I had myself psyched out Grabhammer would be too hard, but pleasantly surprised it just felt like a blue that didn't have 500 other people on it ). I was able to cruise every slope there without pause, and that's not insignificant for me.jacksonhwall wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 3:56 pm Hey man!
I'm new to the forum and I'm heading up to snowshoe in about a month! Id rate myself as a fair intermediate snowboarder, do you think Cupp would be much out of my wheelhouse? I'm pretty confident on my turns, albeit I usually take things at a reserved/slow pace still! thanks!
ah Yep just saw that! Thanks so much man! that picture of the powder has me immensely stoked! thanks again and I hope you had a great trip!brigand wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 3:43 pmJust replied in your other thread.

However, I had a bit of help - it snowed literally every day I was there, and having fresh powder every morning, even if only 2 or 3 inches, made all the difference. If it had been icy, I would have gone and rented skis. I think WT, GH, or Widowmaker would be quite scary on ice.
