beaucoup snow

“Beaucoup” snow fall in Haywood County this year. I started the kids snowboarding this season and our prayers for snow were answered!

Cataloochee ski resort had some primo snow conditions this year. I am skiing tomorrow, looking forward to a warm day with a little bit of fresh powder. Hopefully, it won’t hide the bullet ice! Maggie Valley needed the little boost to tourism this year. The I-40 rock slide shut down traffic flow and accessibility along the interstate corridor to the area. The snowy weather has been both a blessing to the ski resorts and a bane to local residents having to shovel the stuff. The poor children have even been forced, and I mean forced, to go to school on Saturday to make up for snow days.
I’ll be driving by the fated Ghost Town wandering “what could have been?” The town had a chance to sell it and turn it over to a developer who wanted to turn it into homes. They said no, not sure of the logic in that. Oh well, as the world turns. By the way there are a few homes for sale on the way to the slopes, with views, woods, hiking, etc. They seem a bit over priced to me but, the reality of the market place will deal with that in good time.
