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.

Eight miles north of Terra Alta, West Virginia was Gregg’s Knob ski area. Gregg’s Knob was located on Gregg’s Knob Mountain which is one of the highest peaks in Preston County.



The northeastern face of the mountain offered a quarter mile slope serviced by two rope tows. You could enjoy a day or afternoon of skiing at 3,300 feet for only $1.50.



Three Morganton men, John Garlow, Wayne W. Bowen, and Roy Williamson, were in charge of the project. The Mountaineer Winter Sports Club was responsible in-part to getting information out about Gregg’s Knob ski area.



If you have any information or photos about this ski area, post here or drop us an email at [email protected]. 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.
