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.

It was something for sure, I can't believe I finally made it, to Alta esp., but so many great runs. I wish I was a better skier --I would have KILLED the places I found

Wildcat was the gem, at least from my grand total of one day there on the worst day ever for alta (local quote) but it was still better than 90% of any other personal ski days. We need to discuss over some local saxapahaw specials.

Nice TRs as always! Now you know why I fly to SLC for a bit more dollars instead of Denver. Even as I explore new places out west, Alta remains my favorite with or without fresh powder.

It is official. I am jealous. Great TR, I am trying to work out a trip to slc around march 23rd. I know the boarders won't understand, but there is definitely something special about Alta.

Nice TR David! As you can see in general UT > CO in many ways from a skiing experience. Glad you had fun!
