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.

Those look like nice conditions. Want2go2daSno, after 55 days do you get bored skiing Sugar? Is that where most of your days have been? (I think it is Sugar in the pics). I have never been luck enough to live someplace I could ski 55 days in a year. I'm just wondering .

I have lived here in Banner Elk off and on since 1968. I didn't get bored skiing beech every day as a kid and I don't get bored skiing Sugar all the days I do & Typically I get in 70-75 days on the hill. I'm not a snow snob. Yes, I'd love fluffy pow every day but that isn't gonna happen around here. I will go out in the rain if its not pounding because it can be a lot of fun. Different snow consistencies can be fun. it is what you make it around here and I'm not one to sit and complain about less than perfect conditions. If you're getting bored you're not being imaginative enough, right? I have learned how to snowboard now too, so half my days this year are on a board & I'm lovin' it. all but 4 of my days this year are at Sugar. the other 4 were at Alta.
