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.

When was the last time they had Alpine Way open?? If they get that open it should alleviate some of the congestion at the bottom of the hill during the holiday open.

I want to say last season but it may have been the one before that. They had everything open and you're right, I lapped Alpine for over an hour on a busy weekend and usually skiied straight to the chair.

Last time Alpine Way was open was two seasons ago. It was also the last time Grizzly was open. I can't wait for next weekend. Looks like Grizzly laps are in my future! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Oh boy can she eat. Tonight it was fried pickles at a little place called Dessie's up in Mentone. They have really good catfish but she is going after the fried pickles and no I am not eating those with her!

11" of new natural snow. Griz is now open. If it can hold for a week, I'm gonna get me some.
