VR could very easily be justified in simply linking "epicski.com" to their epic pass purchase page.
Yep.

So then all of us who posted on Epicski over the years were paving the way for VR to get to the top of certain searches by leveraging prior activity on the domain. Kind of warms my heart (not). Interesting when commerce harvests passion as it often does with sports and recreation.VR could very easily be justified in simply linking "epicski.com" to their epic pass purchase page.
epicski was a tremendous resource for me when i first started skiing as an adult. it led me ski diva, and here too. for that i am grateful. i am sad about the content - the amazing trip reports have kept me planning and dreaming of skiing new places for the past few years.!
Red/Gray... Well since it's water under the bridge... I confess I took up the cause of the guy on skier's left because everyone was taking the other guy. Then I actually came to believe it and still do. What started as a troll became educational. Some people weren't happy as I was told by old fart (name changed) that "people like you...", as if I was advocating child abuse. It's not "below", but "ahead" in the current responsibility code. Before that thread I didn't know. Sometime around there I recited 2,3,4 of the code off the cuff to incredulous participants in a clinic.And the humor: frankly I will miss having the opportunity to go back and view, as I did within the last year, threads such as: "Does it make any sense for an intermediate New England groomer skier to venture somewhere out west ?!" Or Red helmet/grey helmet.
Just copy those two threads right there and you have a treasure trove of trivial and often absurd entertainment, as well as some incredibly useful information. Rare combinations.
Oh boy, this isn't going to go well with the "cat in a box" thread . . . .Speaking of humor, what about this one.

That's my all time favorite thread anywhere ever..Speaking of humor, what about this one.

Don't forget the hundreds of EPIC Ski posts that trashed Vail Resorts (MTN) and the mountains purchased by Vail Resorts. EPIC Ski is a liability to MTN. It hurts to see the content go, but that's life. I seriously doubt Apple, Disney, Marriott, and most other corporations own websites bashing its products or promoting competing products. Why should MTN save that content?
PUGSKI opened with a promise to those of us who were growing bored or disillusioned with EPIC Ski: "Ski talk at a higher level." It delivered. Now it is suddenly and shockingly bigger overnight. The founders are taking the high road without a hint of arrogance or smugness. They are still committed to "Ski talk at a higher level" and they are committed to continued improvement, which includes helping preserve acceptable content from the other site. That's good enough for me.
BTW, I brought over the only thing I cared about and started a thread with it.
I'm fairly certain that 2.5 was the first LGC for @Gary Stolt - his comments in the thread I linked to kinda confirms that.Faisasy moved to France several years back. I think it was a pretty major job promotion if I remember correctly.
Lewbob retired from skiing as a result of knee problems. Last I knew he was still living in the Denver metro area.
garyskr was a regular visitor for (I think all of) The Let's Go Colorado events, of which there were 5.
If posts about Vail were such a big deal they could have been banned. Afaik that never came up. I'd like to see the open ski forum where Vail is not trashed in some way. Never happen.
Any site has issues. Note that here moderation is basically swift and absolute and it's part of the rules. Have 10 x as many posters and things can get different.
