The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

During my season at beech we had a thaw early December with rain, granted not this long or intense. The plug was pulled when the known amount of snow you could make wasn't enough to keep up with the loss. At the same time the resort saved costs by sending people home from all areas of the resort. Sugar has always kept open during these times and seen them open with worse. I don't think any bad press they may receive has ever bothered them. Unfortunately I think what we see late seasons took hold this January (warm temps in much of the southeast) and people not having skiing on their mind.
