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.

Ober had no guns out on Ober Chute this past weekend. I'm guessing they will call it a snowmaking year with no lows even below 35 for the next ten days.

It is too early for Spring,time to right this wrong by paying tribute to Ullr,mighty blessed Ullr bring the winds of Winter to blow down to the southern Appalachians and frost the mtns until the calendar says Spring!

I did take advantage of that on Monday as I opened my ski school for the day.

I promised her if she fell I would beat her to the ground and catch her
