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 remember being in Gatlinburg about 8 years ago when a storm rolled through. 2 inches of snow absolutely shut down the whole town...it was unbelievable.
On that note, Winterplace has the same problem. When it snows, the locals dontwant/cant make it to work, eg the lifts dont run until they show up. Naturally, Wplace will still sell you a full lift ticket and not tell you about these things until you get out there. That place can be severely mismanaged sometimes.

The official reasoning for Ober closing was because the roads were suppose to become iced over in Gatlinburg. Was there, not a bad crowd considering the weather. They had enough business and employees on hand to stay open. They just didn't want to take the risk. Personally I enjoyed having the evening off...
