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.

This must have taken some time

Discuss closed and lost ski areas! This portion of the messageboard was implemented so that those who have skied or played at any of the closed ski areas can share their experiences and discuss "old times". Understand that the content shared may not be 100% accurate.

Not so much (time) but we'd had a fair number of people ask about it and Brad Moretz of Appalachain provided a lot of insight and we felt like sharing it.

Thanks for getting this information together. When I lived in New England, it was a fun day trip to try and locate lost ski areas. I didn't realize that there was so many here in the Southeast.



Also, one area not listed in NC was Sheepback Mountain in Maggie Valley. This property was slightly developed with a couple of trails cut and a pond dug for snowmaking. I once rented a house in MV that had an old Sheepback sign in the crawl space. I also had an opportunity to look at a master plan for the resort, that included a tram from MV up to the base of the property. Another example of someone with great dreams and no money.
