We have power tools for other production work weâre doing, but the kids learn â¦ hand tools. We do point out how the power tools can be used to speed things along and what hand tools translate into which power tools, and for kids who have those tools at home, theyâve appreciated it.
Snowbird Area. [Fig. 32(5)] The Snowbird backcountry area lies in the Snowbird Creek basin near the convergence of the Snowbird and Unicoi mountain ranges. For centuries the area was hunted by the Cherokee, and due to its steep and rugged terrain, it was one of the last areas in Western North Carolina to be settled by European pioneers.
A few words on the Snow at Snowbird. At Snowbird 18.9% of winter days see 6 inches or more of snow, 40% of winter months see 90 inches or more, and a measly 3% of months see less than 30 inches. This is elite, blue-chip style snow frequency, rivalled only by Alta and Grand Targhee in the Rocky Mountain states.
