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.

I apologize for the lack of pictures- I didn't bring my camera with me because I didn't think I'd have time to take pictures... I left at 6:00am, skied for 4-5 hrs, and then was back at work by 3:00 in the afternoon.



I've never skied so much deep, light powder before in my life... yesterday did NOT suck. These pictures were taken around 12:30.



Its tough to breathe when you have so much snow in your face.





Mike managed to catch me here when I was actually out of the powder:





Mike, making a typical turn down Sun-Up Bowl:

Its hard to believe, but the first few runs were much, much deeper than that first picture.

Funny you said that, because based on numerous reports, the 40+ inches they got this week skied more like 4".

This is true. Much of the snow I have been in the past few days (DV & Pow-Mow) has been pretty damp and heavy. Fun skiing, but not blower pow like you got at Vail. Excellent work as always KD.
