Rent me your topper!

Just like the title says, i am going on a snowboarding trip to Snowshoe wv this monday. Weather is calling for rain around baltimore and I am assuming at least until I hit the mountains. Truck will be full with 5 people and i need the stuff in the bed to stay dry. Anyone local with a topper for my bed I would be willing to rent it from say this sunday til next friday....anyone? let me know...lets make a deal. Or i will just contractor bag everything like i usually do lol

 

That's funny. I'm at Snowshoe now, and I'm from Baltimore.

 

how is it? conditions didnt seem too good up there last i checked....is it raining or snow? how are the trails?

 

Things were ok yesterday but got pretty rough towards the end of the day (icy in the middle with thick choppy stuff on the edges). It snowed some first thing this morning but switched to rain/sleet before the slopes opened. I'm just laying low inside today. It should be switching to snow later today and tonight so hopefully we get some good snow tonight. We'll see.

My buddy that works up here says Silver Creek is where it's at. Smaller crowd, better snow. They can apparently use chemicals to make snow down there that they can't use at Snowshoe because it drains into the drinking water source for the resort.

 

is that a whole different resort? or part of snowshoe?

 

Silver Creek is part of Snowshoe. Your lift ticket gets you on at either place. Silver Creek is just smaller and further down the mountain. They have shuttles that run between the two all day long.

 

awesome, illl check it out

 

know of any trails up there where i can get the taco in the snow??

 

just curious......what for chemical makes snow?

 

They add some chemical (I don't know what, specifically) to the water that aids in the man-made snow making process. I don't know how it works.
