Thanks for the pics! Certainly looks good for early season.I went to Snowshoe for 3 days over Thanksgiving. Great opening conditions and a large snowfall Wednesday night. The conditions were excellent for early season and they were opening slopes every day we were there. . . .
Roundtop's the first place I ever skied here in the USA! (Many, many moons ago...) Nostalgia! : )A little early, but thought I'd get things started for the mid-Atlantic. Mostly that means Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland (Wisp), and Pennsylvania, although NJ, and southern NY or VT are within driving range for some mid-Atlantic ski nuts.
For those new to the area, here are places to consider for local fun this winter.
VA
Massanutten
Wintergreen
Bryce
MD - Wisp
WV
Snowshoe
Canaan Valley
Timberline
Winterplace
PA (more in eastern PA)
Elk
Liberty
Roundtop
Whitetail
Blue Knob
Seven Springs
Hidden Valley

Off to a good start of the season! Since local PA resorts opened I am hoping to ski every week from now on.
@tinymoose : will be in the Philly area Thu evening dropping off SkiSuki. Is there somewhere worth checking out for a ski day on Friday? Assuming it's not raining.
Thanks! Hope you feel 100% soon.@marzNC
Oh, sorry! Didn't see this, been sick so I've mostly been sleeping the last few days. Sadly, due to the weather I think the only place open tomorrow is Montage Mountain up near Scranton. They're opening for the season tomorrow with Boomer, Cannonball, Mainline, Whistler w/Terrain Park, Bunny Slope, Nordic, and Connection. Montage is only a 2 hr. drive! To compare, Blue Mountain near Allentown is about 1.5 hrs., so Montage is not as far as it seems b/c it's basically all highway. I really do like that mountain and am glad to see that they're open and with improvements this year.
I think you got the heavy snow. Glad you can work from home. Definitely more snow in parts of MD than Mnut. More importantly, it will be cold for a while so the snow guns can go back to work before next weekend.Love all the pretty snow! It's snowing heavily in my area too. I didn't go drive to work, working from home.
