Just got back from Winterplace -- Any good skiing in this part of the country?
Hi All,
I live in the Triad area of NC and have been to the ski resorts in Boone and they are not good. I normally go once or twice a year to SLC and ski Alta, Snowbird, and surronding resorts. However, this year I dont have any western trips planned so I decided to try Winterplace. The good: It was not crowded on a Thursday It had a decent base (for this part of the country) I can be there in about 2 1/2 hours The bad: Only had 3 black diamonds open It seems to take about two minutes to ski from the top to the bottom The lifts were unbelieveably slow The snow makers constantly blow in your face Nothing challenging or interesting. Flat out boring. I have not been to snowshoe (which is 5 1/2 hours from here) in so long that I honestly dont remember what it is like. I have seen posts from people saying the slopes are 2-3 times longer at Snowshoe. I guess 2-3 times longer than 2 minutes doesnt add up to alot but I am willing to listen to anyone who has been to both! Are there any other ski resorts within 6 hours of the Triad worth anything for an experienced skier? And just fot the record for people doing searches on Winterplace. It is a nice small resort and ideal to take small kids if it is within a couple of hours of you. However, DO NOT go there if you want anything other than short easy slopes. Thanks in advance, FF |
