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.

While Rob is skinning, we're riding high speed quads at Brighton. No new snow in days but a friendly local guide showed us around. Nice bumps here and there and leftover stashes in the endless mind blowing tree runs. Had fun on little milley, never ending winter, true girt, wren hollow, pioneer, wintergreen, and a BUNCH of tree areas beside them.



It looks like this





and this





and this





and someone having fun





and someone happy





and faith rewarded with a deep snow tree run at the very end of the day





all.

Blue bird skies and warming up . . . but still cold enough to need layers and fleece. Definitely a good time to be had at Brighton when a local shows you where to find the powder left from the dump from 3-4 days ago.



The local was a Brighton host who I met on Ski Diva. Just happened that today was one of the days she was working. Did the regular tour on groomers before lunch. Then showed up her favorite spots for a few runs after lunch. Powder in trees . . . equals fun!

fixed it.



trees are pretty much everywhere at Brighton, you don't go find them. In fact, they are so good that it left me looking rather maniacal.







also, I clipped by a snowboarder so hurt my shoulder pretty badly. but ski on.

^^^I think you may have hit one of the trees, head injury being the only explanation



Cool goggle tan -- the mark of well spent bluebird days
