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.

Logan and I left at about 4 and headed up.



It was a little hard and icy first thing in the morning but would eventually soften up considerably. I got to go down OZ for the first time since my first day skiing and it was ok. White lightning and Robins were better and were the focus of the majority of our attention.



Looking up from the ticket booth.





About to start our first run of the day down WL





It had been a while since I've seen White Lightning. Looking good today.





Looking @ Shawneehaw and Robins





Logan hits a rail





The 80's were well represented





People taking a picture next to the black diamond sign....





And then promptly walking away from it in search of easier fare





Logan may be the first person to hit the OZ bridge in reverse





Oz from the lift





Can't get hurt in the air





More Xtreme than a Mountain Dew commercial starring Dan Cortese





So extreme my head exploded





Good time was had. Left at 2 or so and beat the rain out. Thanks to Talia and everyone there.



Here's the video.

0:33 Logan hits White Lightning in reverse

There was a huge mound of snow at the bottom of powder bowl that didn't really have a jump built into it. It was fun to pop over and throws 3s and 5s.



But yesterday was fun. White lightning wasn't really icy at all and it was cool to just ski really fast. Skied the fastest switch I think I ever have down the lower part of white lightning (no vids of that).

Disclaimer about the park stuff...I haven't skied park in about 3-4 years so yeah, Im a little rusty on all that.

Your "rusty" is better than 90% of the people going through there, myself included.
