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.

Went up Sunday for some big mountain skiing at App. Slept in slightly, hit the slopes at about 10:17am.





Looking up Apple Core and Apple Slice from the lift





And finally made it to the house at the top of the lift ride





Backside bowls were looking fresh, avy danger was high so I didn't drop in





Decisions, decisions...





Left to the exclusive park (if the bouncer lets you in), right for the blue run





I had VIP status so it was all cool (LOL snowboarder)





ROFL snowboarder OMG LOL





Ridin down Big Apples, soft snow on the ground





Lookin up Big Appal on the right, Appaljack park to the left. Racin going on towards the center of the photo.





Lookin back up towards apple Orchard Run on the left, AppalJam park to the right





New learning area Avery's Appal complete with magic carpet lift





Strudel from the bottom





Big Appal again from the lift





Hot lap through the Appaltop progression park and down Big Appal





And what's a TR without at least one yardsale





Base of the mountain sometime around 2:00pm, the three lifts had no lines to speak of









Had to cut it short to get back to the queen city by 5. Flex ticket worked out to get me my $10 card for next time. Hated to leave but I had to.



Some peeps enjoying the Ice Skatering





Lot looking fairly empty for 2:30 in the afternoon





Almost there





Car all packed up and ready to go, time to say goodbye to this godzilla of a mountain





Thought my other videos uploaded but just found out they didn't quite finish, I'll update with some more park pics once those get through.

No I called her, just not while the camera was on, I didn't want to obstruct the view accidentally

UPDATING with some park pics from 2/13



Appaltop progression park









Appaljam

This corrugated pipe got moved to the middle of the slope later, these two pics were taken on the flatter traverse to the park







First tier





Second tier - I heard this jump was used for the big air comp not too long ago? I still think it's bigger than it looks in the pictures.





^^^ Was the biggest jump I've probably been off of, and the hardest I've cased short of the knuckle. You need some proof? OK. Fast forward to about 0:55 (I actually hit harder the first time, didn't have the camera out for that one though)





Third tier - propane tank with third jump in the background















Appaljack























Ta-da

Nice job, lots of good pics. Good idea to not venture into the backcountry.
