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.

tragically not a lot of bama shirts, blue jeans or real tree. i think the cold kept them away.
Due to it raining and being in the upper 40s for two days prior and then freezing hard overnight everything was pretty icy but fun still. Top speed on ski tracker was 48. it had snowed about an inch or two prior to my arrival in the am. the bottom seemed to have absorbed all the powder, it was powdery in the lift line all day.

not quite first chair but close
