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.

My niece wanted to try out skiing so we picked an evening and headed up. Naturally I pick the first day for Holiday rates. I figured a night session would be good. Its short and less crowded, so if she hates it theres less time and money blown and if she likes it theres less goober factor to dodge. Luckily she liked it. By the end of the night she was doing Lower OMG pretty well. Got to witness a temp inversion first hand as well I think. When we got up the mtn a little before 6 it was 43 degrees, at a little after 10 heading down it was 47.

View from the top. Whole resort looked good. lots of fun to be had

AJ did really well as a coach providing pointers and lots of positive reinforcement. It was good to see. He's mentioned wanting to be an instructor maybe (still some yrs off)
