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.

Get it while ya can, I know I have been. It seems that Sugar might be open later than Beech judging strictly off a base comparison, so I've been getting to Beech as much as possible. I talked to two mountain employees at beech today that both dropped 3/19 as the target date for closing, and both mentioned that the snow making hoses are hung up until next season. They are likely to need some help from the weather to get to the 19th. That said, there is still plenty of snow in most spots, with a couple places getting brown and thin. The park has not changed since wed night, with no 3rd rail being setup as of 4:30pm. I guess they are going to build it tonight. Go get out there folks, lots of fun today, was completely worth sneaking in 2 hours. Lots of riding planned for the weekend, stay tuned.

















THE 3rd rail?

It's sad to see the ribbon coming out soooo early... hopefully we'll get some snow & traffic will pick up to at least get them to the 19th!

There is no way they make it to 3/19 if they've already hung up the hoses.
WOOOOOO!
