The Littlest Little Ripper

Winter is in full swing and we have been busy working and shredding. I am Mikey Valach, Manager of the Mountain Adventure Center at Snowshoe. I started skiing at Snowshoe at two years old. My Daughter, Ahna had to show up her daddy and start snowboarding at 15 months old. She is a little ripper. Ahna loves the snow and riding her little Burton Chicket. Ahna loves calling Snow Country home. She's looking forward to her next shred session in the near future, so watch out for the little Snow Monster.

Best Day of the Season? I'd Say So!

A winter storm blanketed Snowshoe in some fresh powder, bringing the storm total up to 17" thus far with more snow on the way. Check out this awesome video from yesterday's powder day. 

Ski Patrol, First Person Video Series

From before the ropes drop until after they are pulled in the evening ski patrol is constantly maintaining the slopes and taking care of us. In our second installment of the First Person Video Series we follow some patrollers around the mountain as they take care of some morning chores.

Be on the look out for our next installment… Ski School.

Grooming Shay's Revenge

1.5 miles, 1500 feet of vertical drop, and me in a groomer for the first time = AMAZING!

Ed and I have been working on some new shows for Snowshoe TV. Mainly, we want to give people a look at the behind the scenes side of Snowshoe. How do we make snow? Who are the people doing it? And now we’re beginning production on an inside look at grooming. 

At Snowshoe the longest, steepest, and most challenging trail is Shay’s Revenge. It has beautiful views overlooking the valley, bumps for days, and a pitch that makes grooming more than a little challenging.
