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.
About 480,000 skiers visit the area each year, primarily from West Virginia and the larger cities of the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Snowshoe Mountain's large property includes several developed resort areas, a conservation area, and expansive backcountry that covers 10,950 acres (44.31 km 2) in total.
