Snowshoeing Take 2
Road conditions did not allow the Thursday trip to go out. Despite significant melting today (in Charlottesville at least), I think we’ll have plenty of snow on Sunday. I still have my sights on Hawksbill mountain. We can reach the White Oak Canyon parking lot without having to worry about mountain roads (Skyline would definitely be closed). This trip will …

I suspect our path will be well enough cleared, but if roads are impassable, we may head back to Charlottesville, or try for another destination. I generally get excited when there is a forecast for …

Ski Canaan and Timberline
It looks like nature has decided to give skiing on the east coast a chance.

Let’s go get cold. I’ve never been to the Dolly Sods (which is apparently ultra-awesome), so I say let’s do the damn thing.
