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 feel like one of these days someone is going to catch an edge to the temple and maybe it will happen then



AGREED Jam. That jump was setup well but people that arent hitting it were all over the landing and the transition. On saturday i bailed one time and lost a ski so i went to the side of the landing, ran up the side to get ski ( like you are supposed to so you are not under the takeoff portion of landing) and people were not hitting the jump and flying down the landing directly at me. it was real sketch to say the least.

I was talking to ski patrol on the lift up. He said they were thinking about roping the "big park" off and making people go thruogh some kind of aptitude test. He said they want you to have to prove your metal on a couple features, they then mark your pass, and you will be able go through the big park features.



He wasn't sure they would go through with it. But it was something they were considering for liability and saftey purposes.

They should just mark the park a QUADRUPLE BLACK HEXAGONv:>). This would surely steer away the faint of heart.

I would think that would be hard to implement midway through the season.

even if they did a park pass similar to app it would help to keep most the riff raff out

Good point. They could do that anywhere on the mountain I guess.
