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.

https://discord.gg/skisoutheast

Converse on all ski and snowboard subjects - All things skiing, snowboarding, Q&A, gear, etc.

Please attempt to keep all comments within this forum related to skiing or snowboarding related content.

Profanity and Comments STRONGLY Monitored and enforced. (Keep it Clean! G-Rated)

^your right. Skiing has changed so much in the last few years. Even in the last six years, people went from doing mostly inverts and 360s and 720s without grabs, and hardly any rails to doing cork 810 tails to rail, 360 switch ups, smooth switch cork 10's. Everything. It will be exciting to see where the sport progresses in the next 5 years.

It means you gotta pop the cork on some MD 20/20 and get sloppy before you frail around.

Since I got married ten years ago, I've laid off the alcohol. It seems I had a hard time keeping my panties on too. :wink:
