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.

A little late getting this posted from last Monday. Was an odd day at the 'shoe because the WT showed little of the reported +9" that fell 2 days prior. Cupp & Shays trails had a nice layer of packed pow, but off-piste was sketchy. Best I could figure is the extreme cold, and therefore dry snow, combined with high NW winds kept it from sticking (even in the trees)...making the basin side loaded. Took a few laps to figure it all out, then adjust. On the basin side I found the powder stashes which were just what my Soul7s had been waiting for all season. It ended up being one of my top 5 days at SS.

that was very nice, a couple of those lines I am not comfortable with... and a lot I just don't know. You've had a good season

Yeah, better than last use but still room for improvement. I'm using the sony action cam...still learning. Been using goggle strap mount, which has elevation adjust but overall it does seem to move some. I may try helmet top-mount next...if I don't go in the trees.
