Skiing at Snowshoe

Saturday, we woke up early and headed back to Silver Creek for our first day of skiing. We are both beginner-level skiers, so we stuck to the Green Circle runs. But even these easier runs, were a lot of fun. The runs were long and there were very short waits for the lifts. In the past, we skied in North Carolina, but it was so warm this winter, we had decided to come up further north. That was a great decision. The skiing is much better in West Virginia. We had real snow, longer ski runs, much greater area and many more runs, and the slopes were much less congested.

The crowd picked up a bit in the evening, since Silver Creek is the only area with night skiing, but nonetheless, it was much less crowded that what we're used to.
