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.

so i thought i would bring my daughter and her friend up here to winterplace tonight. bad idea. friend goes all cold and whiney after 30 minutes. i got in 2 good runs on my own, 4 mediocre runs, and 1 lousy run back to the car lot. and it was only about 30F, no wind, absolutely superb snow, and 1 minute lift lines.



tomorrow better be better. arggggggg. :x

Great news about the 180...onward to bigger and better tricks!

I have had pretty good luck with my two. The older one never wants to leave the slope and the younger is good for a four hour session but starts to talk about going in after about 3hrs. I wouldn't think of taking any friends of their's unless their parents went too.



Mine are 6 and 7, BTW, and this is their second season but only 3 trips for each. Its fun to watch them learn.

All cheese comments aside, can that kid really be learning anything from that? Skiiing backward in front of mine is as close to that as I have come.
