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 think I remember the date discrepancy last year. Pretty sure it was the 7th of Nov....either way, enjoy this vid I found of that day. The snow was really fun.[VIMEO]29217828[/VIMEO]

Nice vid, Will! Opening day was the 6th, as it was the day after my birthday. The 7th was Sunday, had better conditions, which your video looks like the Sunday. Doesn't really matter though, we all got to be on the snow.:D

I like this thread because it gives me a chance to say let's all make an effort to inform each other of what the first day in NC will be... and be certain that we all are riding/skiing with each other on that day. I effing love this...

I don't think you'll NOT know when the first day is happening, B. Now as for riding/skiing together, that may be a little more difficult. If it happens to be a weekday, that's where the problem will be.

seems to happen every year, but once again i feel like im more excited than ever to just get out, make a few turns, throw a few spins, and get my winter legs under me this year. weekday or not, im gonna make every effort to be at sugar's opening if the conditions look like they did at the beginning of last year.

Yeah, I've got 80 hrs of sick/personal time I can and should use. Weekday opening, especially on a thusday/friday, = me having a 3or4 day weekend.:D
