The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

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.

Had a great time with everyone...it was definitely hard to leave when it was puking snow, but alas we had to return to the real world.
I'll write a summary later but for now, I'll let the pics do the talking
Waiting in the rain for the lifts to start turning again after they were shut down due to lightening
Grabbing a drink at the junction while we wait
Pink
The only trees that I could find to ride through we're at silver creek...everything else was bare
Saturday was a beautiful morning for first tracks
Parker and pink on widowmaker
Sad to see this completely bare
Definitely a bluebird day
These guys are doing it right (notice the 4 kegs chained to the porch lol)
Ballhooter lift line around 11:15. This is when we decided to break for an early lunch back at the condo

After lunch we headed to the western territory for a bit
Cupp
It was fairly empty...more people seemed to be at Arbuckles than on the slopes
Lower shays
Upper shays was pretty rough, but still open
Photosl*t time (cupp run)

We went back to the other side of the mountain for a while then called it a day and headed for the hot tub with a cooler full of hammes
Ballhooter
Sunset - heading to Moonshine for the party
An even more beautiful sight than the sunset
The party was a blast...great group of peeps. No pics, I was having too good a time and forgot to take any lol
Sunday morning we woke up to a trace of snow
On the bus headed for the top of the world for first tracks
Waiting...enjoying the fact that it was now snowing again
We made it before the lift even started turning
A much different scene from Saturday to Sunday
Sweet courdaroy with a little fluff on top
Aaaaand off we go
snow coming down pretty good now
Repping skinc
Starting to look like winter again
The riding was absolutely fantastic
Headed back to the western territory until we called it quits around 11
JD
Joe
Lift shots
In the village headed back to the car
On the road again...
It was so hard to leave but a good time was had by all!
Will def be back next year

This looks like a really fun trip. I'll have to try and make it next year when I'm living alot closer in Columbus Ohio. The surface conditions on the trail looked good, but it did not appear to me that there was any natural snow on the ground pretty much anywhere despite almost 100 inches having fallen throughout the season. Has the season really been that rainy, warm, and snowfree? Regardless, looks fun!

^that was the worst line all weekend. It was much lighter after lunch (not sure where they all went lol) and on Sunday the lift lines were almost non-existant.
