RIP EpicSki 1999-2017

This is very Stalinist. Just take over a whole thing and then make it vanish. Truely an act from the dark side. Now, to complete this and go full circle, create a whole new social network under the Vail Inc. digital umbrella. Name it Epic whatever, and never acknowledge the existence of the other forum.

Bunny would know, he was a local on Epic.

Unlike here, right? rotfl

Fuck, that made me miss Hugh C.

I don't know, the last few pics I've see of TGR gatherings looks like a bunch of stoner miscreants and tech sector hipsters. I'm not saying it's good or bad or that one is better than the other, it's an observation.

I resemble that comment!

Hey, watch it, some of my best friends are stoner miscreants on tech bindings.

Me too. Like I said, it's just an observation.

So realistically the core of the Epic userbase jumped ship long ago to Pugski. What was left were a few holdouts, and new posters bumping 10 year old threads to comment on how much they loved their Atomic Metrons.

Doubt you will see many come here that already are not here.

[teamdirt]

Do you know how long it took me to get that Level IV PSIA cert? You better fucking bow down to me.

Teamdirt, that name rings a bell...blast from the past, eh?

This will be one of the top 10 threads of TGR's existence and Im stoked to have been apart of it.

[Viva]

Did they really refer to themselves as "Barking Bears"? Is that code for something?

Yup. "Barking Bears" forums...something like that.

[digitaldeath]

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.

GOD DAMN

ur a power user now!

goldengates a bay area bitch that got tuned up like a slut

Im going to sit back and grab a bag of popcorn. This thread is just getting started!

[Ted Striker]

There are more skiers that went to both sites that care to admit.

So true. I've had multiple accts there (and here) for more years than this handle would indicate.

It's too bad the content is going into the ether.

[PNWbrit]

There's gonna be a lot of new kids to initiate about giving Bunny wedgies!

FIFY

Oh, I want to be in the group photo at the Mammoth Mini!

[skiNEwhere]

That sucks. 18 years of posts just gonna disappear like that. Would be cool if the mod could make a copy of the database and host a read only version of it.

Not sure if it will be Google search-able, however.

[steezybomber]

never actually created a username there, but reading and making the connections was entertaining as hell. bummer to see it all go. seems like a waste.

[goldengatestinx]

I would put money on goldengateposer being the one unable to carve a turn. He sure got played in this post.

If you consider that 'being played' you haven't seen or done much. And likely doesn't know a true carve. One of those on the floppy tip and tail clown shoe skis with knees locked and hips back. Your type are big in words and weak in most else but interweb gangstah shit.

it's what happens to pretty much every forum - all those moments are lost in time, like tears in rain.

It'll happen to this forum one day too.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.

And now EpicSki is gone. Time to die.

More like piss in the wind.

All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind"

Bullshit. It's capitalism--making content, jobs, companies disappear. Stalinism is making people disappear.

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb. (My favorite Floyd).

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.
