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.

Still dumping up here, and its the good stuff this time. Im not sure what % the snow is, but its very low density, the stuff would just hang in the air after a few turns



Awesome to know this... need the dry fluff in my life somethin' fierce... just hope it holds up until Wednesday......................seems so far away.

it would have been nice if the storm started out a little wetter. There is still a vicious rain crust exposed in places and lurking close to the surface in other areas.

Killer day im sure. Soli=LOVE



we went on day 1, so we know about the bird, and this isn't is our first trip either so we've gotten it good in past years. no matter how much they get tonight it's just hard for me to wanna go there to end the trip. the entire resort literally tracks out in 2 hours on good days so you may get 3 of the best runs of your life and the rest of the day is mediocre as far as fresh snow goes (apart from hiking) imo.



i think our mind is pretty much made up, plan of action: brighton. personal goal: land some big boy drops. stoked for one last day.

Has thanked: 1 time

While it has been many years since I skied Snowbird, I was surprised to hear that it gets tracked out so quick. I hope to get back out there in a few years. I guess it has just gotten a lot more popular. Thanks for the pics keep them coming!
