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.

Here's a video I made from the trip:

And here are a few photos:































Awesome trip and my last chance to visit before my friend moves back to the sates. As you can see the weather moved in on us and we got some fresh snow, but with that came low visibility. Great time, can't wait to go back.

Damn, the TR locations lately have been off the hook! Skiing in Europe is definitely on my to-do list.

I'm going to estimate about 2 hours, top of Mont Fort to base gondola in Verbier.



Also, I forgot to mention...all the beers in the photo are from the cheap beer challenge. Each one cost less than 1chf.
