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.

After watching the WROD via webcam for opening day I decided to wait until the second day to venture up to A-Basin. All photos were taken with cell phone due to catastrophic Energizer leakage inside camera.



Being my first time over Loveland Pass, I had to stop and gawk.











I got to the Basin around noon. Luckily the lines were half as long as 1st day. Overall it was a good day with a bit of hard pack showing up later in the day.









Look, I'm Michael Bay





Terrain park setup for all the gaper haterz









The crowd cleared out around 2 making for a fun afternoon. With my legs reminding me how much I have not worked out this summer I limped back to the car and headed up the pass to photoslu t some more. Cue gratuitous mountain shots.















Jong, maybe. Braggart, definitely. I don't care, it's skiing in October!

Looks like a Sugar TR in January.... in other words, you got more quality turns than most SE peeps will get all season. The Legend rulez.
