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.

Not a bad looking opening day. How were the crowds at the Basin? Silver Creek?

Nope it's groomed. BUT...We want to build a sustainable base. There WILL be times this winter when we will not touch the fresh powder.

Props to our Snowmaking and Grooming team. I know it can't be fun walking up and down ski slopes all night dragging hose and lead wire!
