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.

The widening of the Easy Street slope and installation of a high speed quad at Sugar for beginner skiers. Beginner and lower intermediate skiers I would dare say is 80% of any resorts business. The pettiness continues....
I don't understand how it's pettiness. There has been a ton of time and effort put into this site over the years, including by myself. Literally every single ski resort in the region supports the site in some way, except Sugar. After almost 20 years or so of Mike doing this and not getting any support from them, why should we report on anything they do? Will it hurt their bottom line? No. As a business owner though, why should he want to give them free publicity when they don't want to work with us?
And by working with you, do you mean requiring them to advertise on your site? Or requiring them to use your cameras and hosting? So, they don't want to spend money with you - that is their choice. And it is your choice to not promote tgem. But, not listing them in your daily ski report and one of the few times you mentioned them is to put down their snow total estimate really makes the website look kinda silly IMO.

They are in the daily ski report.

http://www.skisoutheast.com/snow-reports/

And we still have all the info about them.

They're just not in First Trax.

As for the putting down their snow total thing...I wouldn't have done it but it's not my site.
WOOOOOO!

So Appalachian, Beech, Hawksnest, and all the other "member" resorts are only paying for a mention in First Trax? Under the heading of resorts on the top of the page, all of Sugar's info is there. Under conditions, you can find their slope report, and there is also a nice write up about their tubing operation. All the other paying member resorts should be pissed!
