Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Snowshoe is the best by FAR. Winterplace does not compare. The "Homestead" in Alleghany County's not bad, good hospitality, and where people from my neck of the woods go to have a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
total 12 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 i use to work up at Winterplace in ski school, but now i work up at Snowshoe on Weekends... and it's a world of difference. Snowshoe is THE BEST resort in the Mid Atlantic. nothing compares until you get up into upper PA or New York. i could maybe answer any questions... that or www.snowshoemtn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomer 10 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Back in my younger days, several of us BC basketball boys would load up in the station wagon and attack the slopes. Skiing was all we did; never heard of the snowboards although some of those post player lummoxes were more suited for sliding then skiing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hey boomer... We were at BC at the same time...you are right...skiing is all you ever did because you couldn't play basketball...LOL. You were part of that team that scored 150+ on Knoxville College, right??? That was one of the most unbelievable games I've ever seen...Todd Hopkins went off!!! What was the name of the little point guard...I can see his face but can't recall his name...I think he had over 40 that night too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomer 10 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Hey G-Man! You are almost right; the Boomer was always studying so much he didn't have mush time for rest & recreation so when he had a few moments out with the boys he took advantage of it! The Boomer has hung up the Converses for a referee's whistle now - who would ever have believed it; especially the time Coach made us guard the guys that were hurting us the most--the refs!
