February 3 - I arrived at Seven Springs early Friday morning to secure a spot for the RV to host our tailgate parties as we skied on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Bill, some friends and I skied all day Friday so we were ready for the steak dinner at the Laurel Mountain Inn that evening. More friends joined us that evening and we headed to the slopes the next morning.
February 4 - We piled into a couple cars for the short ride to Seven Springs, used the warm (generator and heater running) RV to put on our ski boots, then we hit the slopes. Sean took a video with his GoPro mounted on his right ski.
The sun was glorious as the snow was plentiful. In fact the snow was a pleasant surprise given how warm the weather had been all through January. When it was time for a lunch break we all collected at the RV for some sandwiches, beverages and snacks. Sean's facebook post highlights the success of our tailgating.

This video, below, has another view of the tailgaters.
After some great ski fun we returned to the cabin at Kooser and the steaks hit the grill. we had steak appetizers, steak salads, and of course, steak entree! It was certainly a satisfying dinner.
February 5 - We were back on the slopes, but today was a bit cool and cloudy, plus we were working off a huge dinner and legs already beat from two full days of skiing. We still enjoyed our continuing tailgate party, but wrapped up by mid-afternoon and made our way back to normal(?) society.
