Ran up to Ober yesterday and skiied a while with UABSkier. The snow actually kept people away and we never waited in more than a 2-3 minute line all day. Crowds kinda got crazy around 3:00 so we called it a day.

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.

I've never been to Hawksnest, but I like Ober. It's small and usually crowded on the weekends, but if you get there early, you can beat the release of the ski school minions. To me, and I know I'll get killed for this, Ober has more variety that Cat. Ouch, stop guys, those stones really hurt.

Ober needs a new website or maybe it's part of their small mountain charm.

Doubtful, most of my connections are gone.
On a couple of other notes, It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see Ober close after March 5.
I got a call from UAB and he said they evac'd the black lift Sunday afternoon.
