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.

As CHEAP as lodging is up there I would almost consider getting a pass despite living in Dirtyham. I think my magic number to pull the trigger would be $179. I'll just have to keep my eyes open for those 2 for $45 deals that came up this season.

Early passes this year were $250. I wouldn't hold my breath for $179.

We stayed for $52 a night in downtown. Granted, it wasn't the nicest place I've ever stayed at but it was clean. I've never paid more than $60 a night in Pigeon Forge.

Probably get another one next year. Didn’t get in enough trips in this year to pay for it but it sure was worth it not having to ski around session times.

That's a huge advantage to me. I would consider myself much better off as long as I come close to breaking even.
