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.

It does feel good to see your kids enjoying what you love.

You refer to Punishers -- are you skiing on Scott Punishers (want to buy some P4's) ? Or are you referring to the punishment of having to ride a soul searing high speed?



I love the sound of the tree runs outside of your room; and again I'm sorry to have missed you on Sunday

thanks. btw, I thought about approaching that 'airfield' area. I thought I would ask about the route at the 'nordic' center since they have trails that go there, but alas, the 'nordic' center has not yet reported for duty - it is still a 'shooting clays' hut. Maintenance workers told me that they have not seen any activity down there. Well, I can see why you would not want to to do anything when there is all that snow around. ;)



When PMonkey and I hiked up there last season, we took the access road/trail and then made an abrupt righthand turn at what felt like the right spot, and bushwhacked through the trees to the open area.



Given the weather, I bet that area is maintaining a reasonable base of snow. Might be skiable right now, certainly after this weekend...

So how was it? This is the area I was examining. It looks like there could be a path from the top of silver creek to the top of the open area, or an access road from near mountain creek sports - that is the one you took ? The skiing looks like a couple hundred vertical feet of open field. To the left there is a nice looking utility cut with more vert and access to the top from 219 (not shown in image). The so called nordic center is down the maintenance road from mountain creek to the right of the image.
