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.

No exhaustive concordances of Cataloochee today.



Ober was good tho. Met up with Zeus totally by chance and ended up lapping the mountain with him most of the day.



If you like Moguls then Mogul ridge will do you right. It wasnt really my thing and after a couple laps I pronounced myself done with it until visibility improved. Combo of visibility and bumps plus powder on top of hard ice made for a little more of a challenge than I wished for.



Given the fact that I'd brought my sister and her family along with my own it seemed tubing was unavoidable. I was told that this was the best tubing they'd had but they weren't able to get as many laps in. It was fun enough but I'm pretty sure that 25 bucks for an hour and a half means I'll only do it until my boy is old enough to do it on his own.



onto pics and vids





This was first thing in the morning





This was later once visibility improved.





My boy had a good time. He's gotten a lot of snow play in this year





One quick vid. Green Hill Zone seemed appropriate:)

I believe you are right. I was waiting to see him collect the rings.
