I read an article recently in the Greenville News about Scaly Mountain opening as a Mountain board park in the spring/summer months. Anyone have any other info about this? Anybody ever tried Mountain boarding?

Never been on one personally but the second web site says they ride at a park near my house. I think I will go check it out some w/e.

I have one. It is different i can tell you that much. The brakes on them suck so don't even worry about getting one with a brake.

It is a lot of fun but just like anything a little practice doesn't hurt.

SO does this mean they are done with tubing after this season??? If they are going to mountain board all year, I guess they aren't going to return to being a ski area. That was mentioned on the board a few weeks ago. I guess any improvement to an area is good improvement. Anything that keeps them from closing completely.
