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.

RidgeRunner at Winterplace starts as a long green.

I think that what he really needs is a lesson or two. Maybe go to Cat on a weekday. Get a package deal that includes a lesson. The lesson will be less crowded on a weekday and less people on the slopes. I think that would open him up to slopes on any of the mountains.

I suggest Turkey shoot at Winterplace -- it looks scary at the top but immediately flattens out, a short but mellow cruiser. Hit it on a cold morning first thing

agreed...as I told someone before, I started skiing on Sugar...the bunnie slope done enough gets to be boring...then you move on to big birch, which for a newbie may seem steep, but is that push you need to get better, then you can move up to the longer ones, and eventually get to the black diamonds...I'd say sugar is pretty progressive and a great place to learn!

That's good stuff to hear pb....Cat's gonna have to be my "home hill" whenever I get the chance to go, since it's only about 30min from the new place, but I've got my hopeful eyes on the others too!

I agree Sugar probably has some of the best terrain. My problems with them come from their infrastructure, employees, and busloads of people.
