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.

Balkey scoping it out:







Moi, snow starting to get heavy at this point:







Balkey again:







That whole thing is a mini golf playground:







This pic of davidski was my favorite of the weekend, looking down into the valley makes it feel like big-mountain terrain in the middle of NC:







Sadly enough, the biggest thing I've hit this year- my form in the air has gone to pot. Also, huck to flat w/ crust under a few inches of fluff ended as poorly as expected :D







Can't believe it had enough coverage to ski two years in a row- the snow was certainly not as good as last year, major dust on crust in a lot of spots, but was still pretty tremendous skiing for NC.

Well done, EC. +1 on your favorite pic. I was so dissapointed in myself that I never made it over there with you guys.

Video finally online - shows 3 turns down, edited down - but I swear I didn't take any dumps, I for sure would've kept those in the video.

And yes... I'm a terrible snowboarder and need to get the heck off my heel side. I'll learn! I'm writing it off to only being my 4th time.



Thanks again everyone, it was a blast.

Yesterday was a great time with some great peeps. We should all give a BIG thanks to Talia and her staff for putting up with us and doing 40+ transactions instead of 1. Thanks girl, You Rock! Made quite a few runs in the morning before the crowds showed (12:00pm) and it was off to the lot for the festivities. As 2slik and others had alluded to, BMPD made an appearance in their search for a "Drunken Chicken". Something just didn't feel right with them stopping by and TD not there to run interference. After getting some food and quite a few beers, made only a couple more runs as the weekend madness was upon us with the temps in the low 50's. I decided to go back to the car, clean up, say my goodbyes, and head home around 4pm. Hopefully I will be able to get some funds together and make it out to the Shoe' Summit.

Our fearless leader for the day, 2slik.





Epic Fail on my part for not hitting this with the bo's.
