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.

Cool TR!, 200 inches and counting for the valley this season so far. Plotting a "ride the valley " visit for the near future.

A little painful, but otherwise ok. My boots don't have any kind of walk mode and don't fit perfectly, so I have some heel lift issues- I had rub spots on both heels, and one on my left shin from the tongue rubbing. Nothing some bandaids and waterproof tape couldn't fix.
The setup is pretty heavy, but its manageable. I do think that Dynafit is probably in my future, just to cut down on weight, but right now the Dukes/Tahoes/alpine boots will suffice. The Dukes do ski really well...

Yep, we gotta do it this year. I was pissed at myself all summer for not going last year. How does early April look? I'll let you know how the Smokies went next week.
