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 know this will be a lousy TR but it was so epic today that I have to share my thoughts. Southern and Robins was freakin awesome. Pow past the knees, and drifts up to the waist in spots. Got a couple good tree runs in which were awesome. Lightning was good but the face was the only fun spot since it was kinda flat before and after. Didn't even mess with Upper and Lower Shawneehaw because there was so much pow on Lower that you had to unstrap and walk most of the way.



Considering how bad the roads where, alot more people were on the mountain today than I thought there would be. Good crowd for Bathing Beauties. Avatar, King of the Mountain, Duct Tape Bikini, Snow Bunny, and Doublemint Twins were just some of the creativity out there. Village Rail Jam didn't have many competitors but it was still fun to watch. Congrats to Timmy Ollis for taking the win.



If anyone has pics please post! I was too focused on making some pow turns to mess with my camera. Definitely the most epic day of the season so far. Good start to Winterfest! Tomorrow should be great as well! Happy shredding everyone! :)

They're both on Beech Ski Patrol. And she won last year as well. Said she was retiring from the event.

Missed the bikini contest due to riding, but the conditions truly were insane. I seem to be running into "westlike" powder more and more this season.



I wish I could offer some pics, but alas, I have none. A friend I was riding with has video from his playsport, but I have no access to that and I didn't take anything out.



Side note: that rail that the jam was on is super short, not allowing much time for the riders/skiers to get very creative...
