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 for another day trip because my buddy had 2 free passes. didnt get many pictures, hands were full of brews all day i guess...things were only slightly icy in some places but everything was in good shape after the last storm. found out that i could ski from the chair to the line in less than 15 seconds, kinda amusing. spent the day hitting the kickers and sippin drinks... anyways here's the cell phone pics.

That's probably the best measure of a SE run, as opposed to vert or length. ;)

another way would be to compare the entire resort to the olympic snowboard/ski cross run at cypress mountain.



its stats were: 208m or 682feet of vertical drop and 1062m or 3484 feet of length.



App only tells their vertical drop, which is 365 feet, the length cant be more than 3000 feet, so that means app is slightly bigger than the lower half of that run.
