What do you do when sunday night services are cancelled because of snow.
GO SNOWBOARDING!
Snowshoe was getting dumped with fresh snow the 16th so Ryan and I headed to WV. Snowshoe is about 1.5 hrs from my house. For those traveling through Covington to the slopes, here is a little shortcut for you.
From exit 10 off of Interstate 64 its about 65 miles to snowshoe via Rucker Gap
80 via White Sulpher
89 via Lewisburg
Once you come off Rucker Gap, turn left onto CR 14. Travel about 4 miles and T into Hwy 92 at Neola. Thats about 15 miles N. of White Sulphur. Want more details, send me an email.
Oh Yeah, Rucker Gap is not paved. Sunday the trees were covered in ice.

Once we hit Marlington, the snow and wind picked up. There were times in which the wind was so strong that you couldn't see much of the road.
Well, we made it and I wondered if the lifts were even open. Couldn't hardly see 20 ft in front of you. The wind was blowing 20-30 mph with gusts up to 50. Hey, there were other nuts out there too. Fresh powder and lots of fun. Plus, Silver Creek offers night skiing.
man was it cold. the low was 15. then you add the wind. ah, but it was worth it.
Well, time to go.
There is a reason I kept my helmet on. I couldn't see! The wind was blowing the snow so hard that it was blinding. We made it home in 2:15 which normally takes 1:30. Yeah thats the road, I think.
