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.
This is the spot to post your trail and trip reports. Please notify [email protected] when you do so that we can feature the better ones on the front of the website.
Got there for rope drop and it was pretty much deserted. Snow was hard for most of the day with a cover of large granules (close to being corn snow). It appears the problem with my boots was fixed. Was trying them out on their new setting and broke my personal speed record without trying, 56 mph. None of the previous issues noted, so its safe to assume my problem is gone. There were a few thin spots on Mogul and Ober Chute. I skied everything at least once but stuck around Mogul for the most part. It was icy at the top with larger bumps, but was softer once you got past the top 25% or so, the bumps further on down we smaller and not as icy as well so they were fun. I ran into Roy Mercer who was there with his family. Glad to see Barrow County's skiers out in full force
Pics
Deserted parking lot in the AM. This was right before rope drop.
Morning view from the lodge.
Yeti is to the left. It's like Upper or Lower SNowbird at Cat. Hopefully it cuts down on the ober chute carnage by giving folks another option to head down.
Ober Chute first thing in the AM
Mogul
Batman came out and skied with us.
What are friends for?
Here's the vid, mostly mogul laps. Yeit is @ the end though

it was great seeing you yesterday ! We are going to the indoor waterpark we are staying at today and I will post aTR later this weekend. Swamp can really get after it on the steep stuff.
Ober is neat. Sweet TR. I always used to about kill myself going down that slick floor in the lodge before they started putting down the rugs from the front door.
