Tough thing about it is hardly any notice, just 2 or 3 days before they pull the plug. Over the last 10+ years I have used that site to host hundreds, perhaps thousands of photos and dozens of articles, including every photo I have posted here. After Friday - poof. Now I have to scramble to archive some of my better, older photos and articles from there that I may not have copies of on my PC.
With EpicSki's demise, Snowjournal barely resurrected last year, and some other ski forums running on fumes it makes you wonder? Is FaceBook a decent substitute for ski discussions, info/advice, and the sharing of stoke?
I enjoy the focused discussion of passionate skiers that a place like AZ provides. It's for the true nuts with skiing on the brain 365 days a year./URL]

Maybe we should start a group on FB.I prefer to keep Facebook mostly separate from my ski discussions. I would probably annoy my nonskiing friends and family on Facebook more than I already do if I discussed skiing on Facebook as often as I do here.

I never participated much in epicski, though I frequently read their content on gear. That is a huge database to sadly see go away.

If you need to offload content, bring it over the ***************************. I coincidentally just brought up the site on Friday and have been working to build it out. I wasn't planning to go live so soon, but the situation has changed. I am working frantically to pull off content from EpicSki with the author's permissions. Right now I am in the middle of pulling down the Unofficial Guides.
One of the issues with facebook is that you can't hide behind a stage name. Also I don't always want my different worlds to collide.Is FaceBook a decent substitute for ski discussions, info/advice, and the sharing of stoke?
Thanks for the offer. I'll look into your site. I am off work tomorrow and will start tackling this problem. I have first cousins that live in Chelmsford and all around the Lowell area.:-D
maybe Nick can expand west and pickup all the people who used to hang @ epic?

Westerns are all going to PugSki. Half of them have already made the move.
