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.

In Hunt Valley, Maryland was a ski area called Oregon Ridge. With a 200 foot vertical drop, Oregon Ridge was open from 1964 to 1969. It was certain you would need a sturdy set of gloves or mittens before embarking on a day on the snow at Oregon Ridge as their main mode of skier transportation was six rope tows and one chairlift.



Oregon Ridge is now used for sledding as well as hang-gliding training. This 200 foot hill is also great for snowboarding training, as the slow hike back up gets the blood flowing and the legs burning!



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.
