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.

ALL: Headed to the Blowing Rock, NC area this weekend and want to take the kids skiing on 1/26/Friday. We do not ski a lot (maybe two or three times a year). I have been reading all about how warm it has been and I also see where it is going to rain on thursday. My question is, should we still try and take the family to the slopes? While the conditions may not be perfect, are they good enough where we will have a good time? Thx.

Just as you put it, it won't be great but should be OK. Saturday will be warm so expect slushy conditions, then back to cold for Sunday. Guns will be ablazing Sunday as the ski areas try to recover from this roller coaster weather pattern. Rays forecasts are very accurate see link below...

I'm past the point of worrying about fresh snow. I just want snow making temps to return. I am going to Winterplace the 1st week of Feb & it is not looking good!

Actually Winterplace is in pretty good shape. Behind Snowshoe, they probably have the second best conditions in the region.
WOOOOOO!
