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.

Highlights
We saw an Elk at Fie Top Rd and Split Rail Dr. It walked right in front of my car, looked at us and bolted.

It was foggy/cloudy (as in you're in the clouds so I dont know if that technically foggy) til about 11, then the sun came out and everything warmed up and was a lot more fun.

We spent the day lapping Rock Island until the sun came out and he decided to do Alley Cat and liked it.

We got at lest 30 laps in and skied non stop from rope drop til about 2.

Pics. None of the elk unfortunately.

Later at the top the sun came out. Aiden says "Stay Fresh" a la Splatoon....

He was ready to head down Alley Cat. For better or for worse

Our last 8 or 9 laps looked like this.

Sadly I've gotta work. Giving serious thought to a trip to Winterplace for a couple days during the week 3/20 thru 3/26 if theyre still open tho. That's Barrow's spring break.
