Yeah if I wasn’t already in Asheville but was looking for a ski weekend in NC I’d probably do Sugar first.
You would choose Sugar over Beech?!

Taking a work trip up to Spokane. Gonna do some night skiing out at Mount Spokane. Any of you hay seeds ever been?

Problem with Sugar is that it has like a 200ft vertical that is steep and everything else is flat.
Beech has best variety IMO. I use to be a Hawksnest homie back in the day.
it's the only place I do day trips to from AVL tbh.. and yeah I'd just go half day and get there early if I were you

My cousin is snowed in in Tahoe. He’s gotta get back for his shift at the hospital tomorrow. OOPS.Tahoe got 4 feet this weekend. steamboat expecting 2 feet over the next couple of days. I hate that I'm NOT there.
Our fambly in Sun Valley says lot of fresh snow everywhere.
Have you guys had the same set of skis your whole like, and if not, how often do you get them replaced? I keep hearing new ski technology keeps improving but it’s hard to tell what’s legit vs. selling snake oil.
I've never purchased skis. Never lived anywhere I could ski with regularity (or without getting on a plane for anything half decent) and it's a pain in the ass to fly with them. Just not worth it for 1-2 weeks per year - just give me some demo rentals. Having my own boots, however, is pretty much non-negotiable. I've only had my current pair for a few years, but they are the most comfortable pair of Solomons in the world. A friend's boyfriend fits ski boots at a shop at Big Sky in the winter (and is a fly fishing guide in the summer), so I got a great deal on them.Have you guys had the same set of skis your whole like, and if not, how often do you get them replaced?
