Opening Weekend

So the 09/10 season is finally here. My wife and my good friend grabbed our gear and made our first turns up on High Country.

After weeks of waiting for the cold weather to come back, we loaded the quad and zipped past all the brown trails to the winter wonderland high atop WV.

Sure the snow wasn't amazing like runs in January, and very little terrain was open, but you have to hand it to WV for getting things open with such horrible snowmaking conditions thru the month of

November.

As we stood in line I realized that opening weekend is more than just getting back on snow. It was a time to catch up with friends and share the excitement of the start of a new season. Being around such excitement really got me pumped to see the real snow flakes start to fly.

So come on Mother Nature, let's kick things in gear! I'll take a big dump of snow, but just having the cold weather stick around would be nice!
