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.

we need steeper black diamond runs and more hills, not superpipes.



NC slopes are all so weak, but if someone really rich came in and put up a snowshoe like resort on some steep mountain in nc, it would shame all other places.



Snowshoe doesn't offer much in the way of steeps either, esp if the western territory is closed.



Thus the "on some steep moutain in nc" comment...

There is a superpipe in NC. g8er keeps it in a paper bag in a closet in the guest bedroom. It's only used on those "special" occasions.

Wayne has a party bong that has so many hose running off of it that it looks like a friggin' octopus. We fired it up at Cat. :D

It seems like they could just dig out of the mountain the shape of the halfpipe and then fill it in with snow. (Like Beech) But actually make it good. Is this possible? That'd be awesome.



There can't be a superpipe in NC because your Mommy keeps waking you up right before you drop into it.

I ride'em till they wear down. My ski pole broke off in one and hike back up to pull it out. We need a superpipe in NC. I vote to build one long and big with just the right angle. Run a lip down the sides on both ends and pack it with a pipe dragon. You don't need to own a ski resort to have one either - just a rope tow, pipe dragon and some snow machines and land.



Go baby - who's got the guts to build it.



Ohhhhhhh man this guy is the same person as App Terrain Park Rider and App Skater. Dude, pick a handle and go with it. Mellow, handle this chump.
