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.

First day out and you could not have asked for a prettier day! Bluebird skies and good snow. The grooming was pretty pebblely to start but they were snow pebbles and not ice so they were smoothed out pretty well by midmorning. The amount of coverage was very suprising, considering that is is only the first weekend, there were no thin spots anywhere. There were also at least a half dozen features (maybe more) set up in Powderbowl and they were nicely done. Props to Enton and the park crew. The lines were nonexistant in the morning, got in 12 runs before lunch!



The new improvements include the addtion of new guns, the removal of the Quad Barn and the adding of Club 5506 which will have draft beer, liquor and snack foods. Also the addtion of bathrooms at the top will be a big bonus! The grand opening will be next weekend.



I'll let the pictures tell the story.

The unload is much better this year we lost some space with the new 5506 but will be completely worth it. We had 7 features set up in lower part of PB and thanks for the shout out pink.

That looks really nice. I liked the barn too but I think it looks better now that I've seen some good pics. Thanks for the pics Pink. Hadn't been close enough to see it all.
Think snowmaking temps.
