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.

^ there you go.



Yeah, there is a little more to A-Basin... the Beach. Spring skiing at AB is amazing. Also, there are actually a few nice little cliff sections just below the East Wall that are usually open early in the season.



Jeffryc, I agree- Breck basically sucks. I go there when I want to cruise around when its nice out.

All this talk has me dreaming of job in Denver with a Colorado Pass for $299.

299! that's insane.

The CO Pass with the Vail and BC days (10 of them) is actually $349 this year, $329 last year. I think the $299 is for Keystone/Breck/A-Basin only. Yeah, its a sh*tty deal, huh?
