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.

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.
You know I'm in.
Next time I'm making some epic portage through horrible Rhodo I can always look down and say "at least there isn't 3 feet of snow on the ground as well".
That was a day I'll remember for a long time. Maybe we can do it again in 5 years or so and apply all of those "next times". The lift tickets were free, the views were world class, the company was great, and nothing is like being in the middle of the Great smokies with no one else in sight...and knowing you have the whole place to yourself all day long and never knowing what's around the next corner or over the next pitch.

So true, a bad day (speaking of snow conditions) in the bc can be so much better than a day inbounds. Nice work and excellent TR.
