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.

Zeus, the video was nice but the few minute stretch of continuous tres was amazing



You are a very smooth tree skier -- where was that?



Great trip

Wish I could claim that was me David, but it was actually Blacky (if it was me there would have been more upside down shots and general floundering about).



That was in Beaver Pond at Jay Peak- a great run that was never crowded and also got us out of the cold wind. Total win-win.

Some serious glade skiing there -- good stuff,

looked at it again and hats off to production and tight tree skiing



Did you get lucky on conditions or is that typical? Those trees would be a nightmare if packed down and icy

Ummm... it was pretty packed down and icy in spots, especially towards the entrances into tree runs. The deeper you got the better it was.



Having only been there once I can't say if that was typical or not. We didn't get a big dump while we were there, but there was some fresh just about everyday.

trees tend to get bumpy firm without constant fresh snow regardless of east or west coast. Those trees did like nice...and tight. The Billy Goats would be awesome back there after a nice storm :)
