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.

OK.. I know... Cataloochee again. I had a blast last Sunday the 10th. Bumps were forming on Upper Omigosh. A few slick spots but real skiable... One bump did get the best of me.. and it's on here.

Next week... I plan on posting some video from Lake Tahoe... can't wait!

Good video. Wish my knees (and my skills) handled the bumps that well!

That was a pretty good recovery. Your shadow makes it look like you were in the air sideways.

A lot of us wish our skills were that good in the bumps.

The last couple of years, they have been leaving at least one side of Upper Omigosh ungroomed.

Yep .like was said... they haven't groomed the top a lot. I kinda like it.. Keeps it fresh with new bumps and rollers. The bumps have been typically on one side or the other. It was on the right this week. I am going for a quick fix tomorrow and will report the conditions tomorrow. Should be good. They blew last night and I expect them to blow tonight..fingers crossed. They have promised to blow only during non skiing hours this weekend. YES... and looks like maybe a little natural on Friday night... natural is good..aumented is fine too.

I hope they augment tonight. Peace!
