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.

We have had several people ask us about The Oz Run at Ski Beech. The slope is CLOSED but not because of snow. Gil Adams told us, "There is plenty of snow on Oz. We are experiencing a problem with the lift and that is why it was closed yesterday. We are working on it, but we have no timeline at this point. We have no idea as yet about whether it will be running for this weekend."

I got to ski it yesterday before they closed the trail. I just hated crossing that bridge. Its a shame that Beech couldn't put a small carpet lift on the bridge. I took some pictures of the trail. I'll try and post them later....

Ok ladies and gents first time posting pics. I thought I had two more pics of the OZ run but as it turns out the pics became a 5 second video. New camera, operator error, or maybe the wicked witch from the west put a spell on the camera, who knows? I had a great time yesterday and weather was great. I am suffering from a little sunburn today, ouch! If someone will tell me how to post the video to a web site, I'll try and post before I retire for the evening.



Wheres the Tinman?
