The events that unfolded the weekend of January the 8th in the year of our Lord, 1999, were to say the least, eventful. As last minute plans for a quick hit of a snowboarding trip were being laid, not a soul knew what was to come. We, that's Link Neal, Gregg Hartsfield, and I, mounted the Dynasty and proceeded to Hawksnest, a bountiful resort in the heart of Appalachia. They're anticipated a rendezvous with Will and Ben Thomas of Buies Creek, Dan Schleising. He was also from the Creek, and Andy Knotts, from New York City. We arrived at the scene around 5:30 PM, and after Link, Gregg and I assembled our boards and met up with the other half of our party, We hit the slopes.
