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.

Defiantly want to try out the place in the first video at some point this winter. Had some friends do it last year and they said it was great as long as you can survive the hike up and the wind up there.

Would anyone care to tell where the locations in the videos are?

The first video is by Elk Knob State Park. Some of the others are on some farm land just off of Poplar Grove Rd in Boone.

1.) is elk knob ski-able right now? did the last storm cover it?



2.) if so, the next storm coming should add and it should be good by next wed - right?
