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.

The headline says it all. I will be surprised if they stay open tomorrow. Temperatures steadily climbed and you could see the snow recede on an hourly basis.

In some places you were lucky to have a 6-12 in path of snow/slush to navigate thru without hitting mud, ice, or other exposed objects. (Rocks!)

You have to give them kudos though for keeping it open. It's better than nothing.

Since Beech will not open tomorrow as they previously advertised, that will give me a jump on the road trip to Snowshoe. Curious to see their conditions.

I'm very curious to see conditions at Snowshoe. The Shaver's Centre cam looks good, but they aren't pointing the Boathouse cam up at the slopes. The Basin cam then shows this.

Watching the Sugar base cam is very entertaining today :lol: watching the different ways folks are navigating the 30 ft of mud and grass to get on the lift is funny as hell
