Don't think you're comfortable enough or a good enough skier or snowboarder to be a part of one of our Summits? THINK AGAIN.  Our gatherings are about meeting fellow snow lovers and nothing more. Among the more than 140+ people who attended last year's Summit were people of all skill levels!

This is a great opportunity to meet new friends, get $100 OFF lodging and even get a FREE SUNDAY LIFT PASS for coming and hanging out! (Snowshoe is even providing the
hors d'oeuvres!)

To get the discounted lodging, free eats and free lift pass ALL you have to do is join our messageboard (it's free), book your lodging with Snowshoe (with a $100 off - see details below), print the coupon for a free lift pass and show up to the Saturday night party.

FREE SUNDAY LIFT PASS (for all who attend the Saturday Night Party)

You want to save ANOTHER $75?

All you have to do to receive a FREE SUNDAY LIFT PASS is just attend the Saturday night party. That's it! No strings attached. You don't have to purchase anything and you're not even obligated to hang out, although we hope you will! Remember that Snowshoe is cooking up some nice Hors d'oeuvres and drink specials and we'll be giving away some other freebies as well. We might have some fun with the freebie giveaways, like make some of our messageboard long-timers do the cha-cha slide. Don't laugh! You might be next!

We had a BLAST at last season's Snowshoe Summit and the Après Ski Party! We're still fine tuning some of the plans but there's already plenty of incentive to be there! Snowshoe's conditions have been BOMBER ALL SEASON LONG and two summits ago we were blessed with more than a foot of POW POW! Although there's no guarantees, the way this season has been, we'll have super conditions!

YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE YOUR COUPONS WITH YOU AS WE WILL NOT BE PROVIDING ANY BLANKS ONES AT SNOWSHOE. Click here for the PRINTABLE COUPON!

Let's Ski, Ride, Be Crazy, Have Fun on the Mountain! We'll be doing some videos and photos all day. We'll be wearing black or gray SkiSoutheast.com Hoodies.

Snowshoe Mountain is once again throwing a party for SkiSoutheast! Snowshoe is hosting this great party and there will be FREE Hors d'oeuvres, drink specials and more*. The party will be on SATURDAY NIGHT at Hoots (up at the Top of the World and Soaring Eagle) this year.

ACTIVITIES and TENTATIVE PLANS

Check the itinerary regularly preceding the event for tweaks in scheduling
 

*   Saturday Night 7-9pm: Après-ski Party for SkiSoutheast.com Summit Attendees
    Snowshoe Mountain is once again throwing a party for SkiSoutheast! Snowshoe is hosting this great party and there will be FREE Hors d'oeuvres, drink specials and more*. The party will be on SATURDAY NIGHT at Hoots (up at the Top of the World and Soaring Eagle) this year.

Note that we have CHANGED the night this party is on to make it easier for our attendees to make it. A lot of people arrived too late Friday night last year to make it.
     
*   This weekend is also Snowshoe’s third annual Homegrown Music Festival. Snowshoe Mountain's management has purposely planned this year's summit to coincide with their Homegrown Music Festival and that simply means that there will be even more on-slope parties, resort-wide specials and some of the best music talent from around the region!

Snowshoe's events will include all sorts of entertainment! Throughout the weekend you’ll be treated to live music in a variety of locations across the mountain. Take in the homegrown sounds of country, southern rock and bluegrass favorites from around the area, and participate in The Homegrown Games. This event is so much fun, we’ve moved the SkiSoutheast après party to Saturday night to ensure you won’t miss a minute of the Homegrown entertainment.
     
*   Meet up at the top of the Ball Hooter lift Saturday at 8:30-8:45am to do some Saturday turns and get a group photo. We will be taking photos and videos to post later, so if you want to get in the video, be around!

Note: WE MAY CHANGE THIS TIME AND MEETING PLACE!
Laura and Snowshoe Media team (our buddy Ed Schneider) and our weather dude Meteorologist Brad Panovich are working to set things up to have us on television via Snowshoe's Satellite truck broadcasting us LIVE on NBC 6 back in Charlotte, North Carolina and to most of the state.
     
*   We will be doing some First Tracks on Sunday morning with Snowshoe's Bill Rock and crew, but due to other conflicts, etc, we will need to limit First tracks to 30 skiers/snowboarders. We are currently deciding on how we will pick the 30 First Trackers. Last season we had several people who asked to be provided that honor - not show up. It is very special to be able to make several turns before anyone else on the mountain. We will be doing that again this season. If you have interest in being among the 30 to do that email me and depending on how many wish to do that we may draw names, etc.  First tracks are at 8:30am SHARP and we'll probably do it Sunday morning.


Last season due to heavy snow and the fact the some people forgot that daylight savings time kicked in we only had perhaps a dozen or so diehards make the first tracks.  It was KILLER with nearly a foot of fresh powder! Depending on the numbers attending, we may do something at the Friday Night Après Ski Party to qualify those 30 slots.
     
*   SkiSoutheast.com's crew will be in attendance and depending on the numbers we may be giving away some of our Newly designed SkiSoutheast.com Hoodies and New Bogans, and tees (as long as supplies last).

We'll also have some of our traditional hoodies to give away and some brand new SMALLER stickers that are perfect for your helmets, skis, snowboards and more.

Thanks to MedicSkier we will also give away some hand warmers, a new pair of skis provided by Peter Glenn Sports and more.

Restrictions:

 

1.   EACH ADULT MUST BE A REGISTERED MEMBER WITH A SEPARATE COUPON. (Wives, husbands, significant others MUST have their OWN coupon AND they MUST be a REGISTERED MEMBER of the messageboard. It's Free, go join and that will take care of that.
     
2.   Snowshoe has been accommodating as heck over the years and they've given away a ton of lift passes for attendees - no questions asked - however we are asking that those of you with children simply print out ONE LIFT PASS COUPON for each adult and print YOUR messageboard name on the coupon. Then for those with children we are asking that you print the names of YOUR children that you wish to receive a free lift pass for in the second blank on the coupon.

Then have your children WITH YOU when you present the coupon for free lift passes. We are not requiring or asking for IDs or anything, but we are trying to prevent the abuse of Snowshoe's hospitality. Unfortunately we are aware of a few cases where people came and simply asked for multiple tickets when they didn't need them - and subsequently sold them on the mountain.

Note: We are not requiring that your minor children join the messageboard simply to get a lift pass. We are only asking that you print your child's first name on the coupon and have them with you to receive the freebies. We only want to prevent the chaos that tends to happen and scenarios where perhaps some of the people who just happened to be in Hoots got free lift tickets. We'd also like to get an accurate count of how many people are SkiSoutheast Messageboard members in attendance.
     
3.   You MUST have a coupon with your messageboard member name printed on it AND be present at the Après Ski Party on Saturday night to redeem the coupon. AGAIN EACH ADULT must have a coupon.
     
4.   We will have the SkiSoutheast Admin account logged in and we will verify members.
 

So if you're ONE MEMBER and bringing 2, 3, 4 or more ADULT friends who are not members - just get them to join (or join for them), print the coupon and bring it Saturday night.
