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.

Srsly though, hardcore effort. I wonder if we could get in there this summer and do some very select trimming of underbrush and branches...though I can't imagine park rangers would be too happy about that.
haha, I think there was an article in powder a while back about that happening in the NE. Honestly, the woods are so thick that i cant see it being an issue as long as it is done responsibly. Would it be worth it to put in the effort so it can be skied on the 2 or 3 days a year (if that) that it would be skiable. If I were you, I would just hit bc in wv

Everyone was wearing helmets at some point in time. No helmets on the hike/skin in because you get hot. I took mine off once we really quit skiing and I was basically just hiking with skis on.
Plans for 2015: To ski more than you

It's a slide path. Best I can figure it would be 11 miles in from the closest access point. Approximately 4500 vertical feet gain, with the amount of snow it would take to ski it I figure it would be a dawn to dusk hike in, ski the next day and boogie out. But you better be prepared to stay an extra night, just in case.
In other words, it would be a MAJOR winter expedition.
