WVSTA at Snowshoe

We had the great opportunity from Wednesday through Saturday of last week to renew friendships with West Virginia science teachers during the West Virginia Science Teachers Association conference held at the amazing Snowshoe resort. It is always such a joy to see our science friends once again. Many of the WV science teachers we have worked with for almost 40 years.

On Wednesday, we arrived at Rimfire Lodge Condos which are located at the center of the Snowshoe Village. I was impressed that Rimfire Lodge had its own entrance into Starbuck’s Coffee shop. I am indeed a coffee lover!

The weather was neat. It was clear and very comfortable on the mountain on Wednesday and Thursday. During Friday we were presented with a cold front moving through bringing thick fog all day. (Well, at this height, we are definitely in the clouds!) Saturday was clear again with marvelous views in all directions. As I am writing this, it is snowing on Snowshoe Mountain and they expect at least three inches by tomorrow.

I need to show you quality fog. Below is a photo of Highland House taken from our studio room on Thursday.



Here, my friends, is the same lodging facility on Friday.



Here are a few photos of the Village at Snowshoe. It is a neat area. You will notice the absence of many people. The actual winter season at Snowshoe does not begin until November 22nd.
