On top of all the snow they&#8217;d already been getting, there was 6 inches of new fresh powder on Friday night.  It kept snowing all day Saturday, and was a bit foggy too, which led to fun as I checked out new runs, with the visibility suddenly plummeting down to 10 metres.  The skiing was still great though.  Sunday was beautiful and clear and warm (though a bit windy round the top of the mountain).  I checked out the feared <em>Western Territory<\/em> and discovered the black runs there, although 1.5 miles long, and a hell of a lot of fun, probably aren&#8217;t as black as they claim to be.  Well, at least by the standards I know (Mt Buller in other words). <\/p>\n<p>Oh, and there were hardly any other telemarkers there &#8211; I saw one on Saturday, and one or two on Sunday.  A lot of people were asking me about my strange bindings (and then about my strange accent).  However, there were quite a few of those really short skis (that people use with no poles) around.<\/p>\n<div class=\"dropshadow\" style=\"width: 410px; margin: auto; position: relative;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/evilmoose.smugmug.com\/photos\/367539045_aA6E9-M.jpg\" alt=\"snow tree\" title=\"fogginess on saturday\"\/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Went to Snowshoe in West Virginia on the weekend.
