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 never waited more than a couple of minutes to get on a lift. We went to Cat the last couple of years on can u ski and there was 3 or 4 times as many people. I was using that for comparison. I can remember many years ago waiting 20-30 minutes at a time to get on a lift at Sugar and Beach, not to mention a busy Saturday at Ober .
I got my 5$ worth.

It looked crowded from the parking lot. But Honestly we never waited longer than 5 mins I would guess. Lapped the jumps for most the day and a few laps in the rail park. Sad to hear that they are doing away with the rails in Jack during peak season. Nonetheless I'm always stoked to ride app. Was fun to cruise even with an old nagging back injury.

Swamp, the twins are 5 and doing pretty good. We got them their own ski's and they loved that. Both mastered the magic carpet run at APP and made a couple of runs down the left side Quad without falling! We are probably going up with them to sapphire when it opens to get them used to getting on lifts. I have a couple of HHonors nights that I need to use and the hampton at the slopes has a pool and jacuzzi so we will go up for a overnighter soon. I really would like to hook up with ya at some point this year so you can help ME improve my skiing. I suck bad but really love skiing.

You don't suck if you're having fun and if you're not falling you're not learning :-) btw that pool is indoor but isn't heated. At least it wasn't last year
