The Mountains of North Carolina

We went skiing for the first time here in North Carolina.  It has taken waaaay to long, but the winter has been the mildest in years and snow, or even cold weather, has been scarce...everywhere!  But we caught a weekend that was fairly good weather wise and headed to the mountains.  As soon as we have a normal winter, the mountains will be great, this time they were just okay.  Despite that though, we had a good time.  The runs are a lot longer than Mad River, and we all like that a lot.  We went to Sugar Mountain one day and Beech Mountain the second day.  Sugar has a run that is one mile long, our legs were tired by the end of that one!  Since the snow was unseasonally low, the terrain parks were not open......Casey was bummed.  We found a couple jumps, but not what he was hoping for.  As soon as the weather gets back to normal we will head back up there!  It was still a good little ski trip......
