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.

Hmmm...snowmaking temps are marginal Wednesday night - think they will still try again?

Sugar opening tomorrow!! We'll see how long it lasts, fingers crossed. It's tempting to reschedule some appointments for tomorrow but doubt I will.

This was some of the most marginal snowmaking conditions I have seen in several years, especially at the base of Sugar. Hopefully tonight is really cold again to help them build base at the bottom or they won't stay open through the weekend.

Their opening day email they just sent out is calling that an “8-22 in base on a man made powder and frozen granular surface.”

Gotta love the marketing spin!

Meh, more power to you guys. I'm not anxious to ride smuddy hardpack. It's almost 50 degrees at my house in Banner Elk... Making it through Saturday is unlikely. Break out the carpets!
