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.

5am left my residence to celebrate the day of presidents. 36 on the mtn when we got there and 36 when we left. pretty windy. the runs, due to the traffic going thru them were never the same thing twice which made things interesting, a soft fluffy patch might be more icy and vice versa. spent most of the day lapping upper omg.

not very crowded for a holiday. maybe the rain that was forecasted earlier scared people off. goober factor was exceedingly high. every one was new. many of them not in control. lots of adults wiping out hard. saw ski patrol working on people 3 times in 5 hrs. given that there were far less people here for this than for when we went on ff day it was a pretty high percentage.

Upper O is looking good. It's been nice all year. Usually the best snow on the mountain after a day of crowds pushing Rock Island and Lower O off to the edges. I'd planned to get up there this week and last, but can't get excited about night skiing in the rain :x
