Yea... back out there (dork)
Welcome to first chair at Canaan on a snow day :)
Yep , back out there. Been a tough recovery from the knee injury but getting back out in the wild and wonderful winter wonderland of WV has truly been a blessing ! The weather peeps blew the forecast for a 8-12 in. storm that never materialized. An inch or so fell though every night of the trip with some heavy squalls occasionally during the day as well .It was just enough to keep the surface fresh as well as plenty of untouched soft snow in the trees. So fun!
Couple wiggles in some lovely north facing Canaan trees
Also along the edges of the slopes
Timberline trees
and some little piles of wind deposited snow on the edge of the groomer.
Finally getting over a couple month injury + flakes falling from the sky = happiness
The slopes that only open with natural snow still went as the ground was frozen solid with a couple inch base with a touch of softness on top. Didn't hit any rocks . As the fellow next door would say low snow Nirvana.
Hints of blue sneaking through
A walk in the woods revealed a solid base up at 4200
The outdoors are calling to come out and play. Canaan ski area is the peak to the right of the frame .The peak above and slightly to the left of the playset's slide is Bald Knob and the edge of the Whitegrass ski touring area
Checking on a future objective on the way home . A ways to go but worth a look .The beautiful wall on the left goes up a several hundred more feet . Until next time WV .Should be getting real good up here after 6 more inches fell today!
