Great picture!! We're heading to the area for xmas break (from Arlington, VA). We would love to find some powder like this :) I tried to send you a private message firecatguy - asking if you might offer some advice to non-locals coming to the area or if you might be interested in meeting up with some non-locals who love to ride :) My personal email is hjashwell@gmail.com if you would like to chat - or anyone else for that matter on this post :) Thanks everyone!!
