It's Chili Time
The delicious smell of chili filled the air at Snowshoe Mountain Resort this weekend during the Fire on the Mountain Chili Cook Off. We had a great turn out and despite the bleak weather on Friday; Saturday’s weather was phenomenal just in time for the big event. The master chili cooks made their best pot, the Great Games of Chili spiced up the weekend, and above the feast and fun we had music that could be heard everywhere on the mountain. Roy Riley led the games so everyone had a blast and some other were just daring enough to try the hottest chili on the mountain at the First Tract tent where the import a special chili from India. Some regretted the decision to eat this hot concoction from the first spoonful. Later this week or next we will have an update to this post with a video from the event and the event winners so be looking out!

Such a Great 4th Weekend!
What a great weekend! Fourth of July is special anyways because it is the birth date of our country and Snowshoe gave it a proper celebration. The music was great and you could hear it echoing off the distant mountains all weekend, especially Del McCoury who was great and a big hit with the fans! All the vendors were great and excited to be at this event. Not to mention how many families spent their 4th with us and we are so thankful for that and many of them brought their dogs! It all had such a community feel. Not to mention the fireworks! And they were spectacular! One of the best fireworks displays I have ever seen. I am looking forward to next July 4th and hopefully being able to spend it at Snowshoe Mountain Resort.
