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.

KneeDeep requested that I put any TR's of substance in their own thread, so here goes. Apologies for lack of stunning Euro scenery :D



It nuked on Saturday:











The wind died down on Sunday and it was pure blower. No pics, but plenty of skiing in the video to follow. On Monday it went blue:







The snow was still...pretty good:















Zone: shredded







So I condensed three days into 5 minutes of video:

Yogi has the life. I heard on the radio today, oddly enough, that dogs exchange heat through their feet, in other words.. blood must go down into their legs and feet and back up before it is pumped to their rest of their body = feet don't get cold.
