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.

Who's up for some tubing?
it was probably closed due to safety concerns w/ high wind. there didn't appear to be anyone on the lift when they shut it down this time at least. prior to that they had 2-3 people pushing the chairs at the top after they detach to make sure they didn't roll back.

however, it was moving awful slow prior to that. it's hilarious to see that billboard of lies they hung across from sugar earlier this year

Has thanked: 1 time

There are wind sensors on the lift which were being tripped. The major concern was that the wind was causing the chairs to sway and almost hit the last two towers at the top. Top wind gusts were 68 mph. Better safe than sorry and could be a very expensive accident.
