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.

If you notice , that is a handicap portable toilet. Ski Beech just celebrated a record setting Adaptive Ski Clinic with a new adaptive staff, overseen by Lees Mcrae's Dee Thomas, who has been accepted to Lee's Macrae as outdoor education and adaptive sports director.

Ski Beech is very PROUD of the snow sports adaptive program. This January was a complete success with paraplegic and blind skiers participating. If you , would like to help volunteer Powdermonkey , please contact our Snow Sports Learning Centre for the 2009 - 2010 season. Thank you for your post.



Is the adaptive program something anyone can join or do you have to be a paraplegic? I'm asking seriously. It's something I have always wanted to learn and with the knee problems I'm dealing with and that it's only getting worse in a few years adaptive may be my only option. If lessons are available to general public it's something that I wouldn't mind learning and practicing over the next couple seasons before it becomes a have to thing.

Some friends and I are looking to head up to Beech this Sunday. How are the crowds for winterfest? Is it a typical weekend crowd or more like a holiday crowd?
