RIP EpicSki 1999-2017

[reckless toboggan]

Epic and TGR complemented each other, TGR is a bar that serves hookers and blow Epic was an Applebee's/TGIFridays


...there was a tonne of respect too.

FIFY.

[Flexon Phil]

FIFY.

I stand corrected.

[reckless toboggan]

WTF is a pugski?

[The SnowShow]

Where am I going to get my discussions about edge hi and low?

[Hott Butt Mud]

Where the fuck is advres????????

[reckless toboggan]

I stand corrected.

Only if your boots are canted and plained properly to 4 decimals​.

[FLS]

Fuck Putin!

[reckless toboggan]

Fuck Putin!

Yup. Putin was an EpicSkier.

All of highway star's history is about to disappear into the void

[splat]

Where the fuck is advres????????

He's getting deleted when they turn off the electrons at Epic.

[Benny Profane]

Vail killed it? That makes no sense. Isn't Vail Inc. product Vahalla to the Epic skier?

[GeezerSteve]

Epic's demise is, well, epic

[wyeaster]

i wish everybody a preemptive fare thee well

[MTT]

It's still there.

Click bait?

It's the debate over 0.0001 degree of canting or base edge angle, the custom wax blend recipes, and the debates over what PISA level people are that will be a real shame to lose.

Is my sarcasm showing?

This is so well played... When I read the post about asymmetrical bindings I swore it had to be an Epic poster busting TGR Mags balls...!

From what I read, Huddler, who actually hosts the domain, is being shut down by their parent company. It is too cumbersome to migrate it to a different host site, from what I understand. But I'm no teckie so really don't understand the arrangement or the problems with moving it.

Written like someone who can't carve a turn. Probably doesn't ever tune either.

Huddler is no longer hosting forums. Vail had months to move the content. they also had numoerous offers to buy the content. They chose to let it die.

It was an interesting night. I had a big glass of bourbon, two computers up and between deleting posts and rebuttles on Powder...it was actually fun. It was a hazing and after an hour or so, it got pretty light hearted and we all actually shared a few laughs.

Epic and TGR complemented each other, TGR is a bar that serves food, Epic was a restaraunt that served drinks. There are more skiers that went to both sites that care to admit. I will say, that while there were barbs thrown back and forth, there was a ton of respect too.

I will freely admit to having 2700 posts there.

Fuck waxing bases bitch, I don't know how.

Fuck sharpening edges, I got team managers now.


X-racer and x-coach, BTW. Also worked in ski shops tuning for years in my teens and very early twenties.

Get fucked goldengatesucks. How's the skiing in your mom's basement?

I'll send her home to make you dinner once I've run her through again.

[The SnowShow]

Why did Vail indirectly buy the site?

The are all things "Epic".

[pfluffenmeister]

^^^ Perceived EpicPass intellectual property conflict with EpicSki?

[The SnowShow]

You're fucking kidding me

[Dexter Rutecki]

That sucks. I'd be sad if this place went away.

Epicski was created in part to be monetized, this board (I have always assumed, anyway) is simply a byproduct of TGR productions. As long as they can sell movies this place should be OK. I think. Aside from the fact that it's sort of turned into a cesspool...whatever.
