About

This is me atop Ball Hooter in late January 2014 (when the temp was 2˚F.

This is the “about” page for “Snowshoe Unauthorized,” a website launched in February 2009 by Hawes Spencer, an avid skier and big fan of Snowshoe Resort in West Virginia. This site is designed to provide news and foster dialogue about Snowshoe. This site is a hobby for me. My day job for about a decade was editing an award-winning weekly newspaper in Charlottesville, Virginia. If you have any comments that you don’t wish to leave in the comments section under any particular story, feel free to email me or find me on Facebook. (If you like the “Unauthorized” theme, you can take home some merchandise.)
