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.

Did a bit of night skiing at Ober, got to check out the new run (Yeti's Run). Snow was decent, good coverage. Yeti's Run was meh, too narrow and windy. But everything in the shops at Ober is all Yeti, t-shirt that I should have gotten a picture of "Yeti's Run...Terror at every Turn". :lol: Had the place to ourselves though, which was a good thing since you couldn't see early on. Weird hearing people skiing nearby but not being able to see them.

The pics:

Ok, I guess. 1st race of series last night, 3rd in age group (of 6) less than a second between 2 & 4. I'd say I'm squarely middle of the pack both age group and overall. Overall leader also in my age bracket, he was 4 1/2'ish seconds ahead of me on a 25 second course. :o First gates I've run in at least 15 years, maybe 20. No practice whatsoever so I'm okay with those results. It will be time to get in some practice next week. It's not the skis, it's the skier.

Nice report, you're not too proud to ski Ober. I like it. Even a small hill can be fun.
