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.

I can't see any of their live cameras, but their "weather" cam shows that there's nobody out there and the chairlifts aren't moving. I figure that huge bare spot on Upper Big Appal would take a lot of snow to cover, and usually business starts to slow way down after Presidents' Day weekend, so it might not be worth the effort, especially with the weather being as warm as it has been most of the winter.
When I lived in Charlotte I used to take day trips there or go up there for a weekend and go night skiing. I've been told that now that I live pretty much between the mountains I could go east or west. I would probably go back to App, Sugar, or Beech because of the memories and also because to me, chaining up, I-70 traffic, and $150 lift tickets are more trouble than they're worth.
