Ok, don't be fooled. I'm not looking for free boards for my feet. I'm looking to update a list of active web forums. Seeing how many of you are quite involved on many different ski related forums, I am looking for Names/URL's of those you find are well used / useful discussion boards (ski/board related only). Post them here.

Thanks!

I check out www.rsn.com (http://www.rsn.com) pretty much everyday. It is typically a good source for no bull info on resorts worldwide though the focus is on North Ameraica. The forums have started to get clogged by all sorts of people trashing and bashing resorts hills etc etc so I read it mostly for entertainment now.

for no bull it is:

www.firsttracksonline.com (http://www.firsttracksonline.com)
And for my MAGGOTS:
http://forum.powdermag.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

100% bullsite it is:

www.killingtonchat.com (http://www.killingtonchat.com)

I think the t4t board is very good in site design though dave... hard to find better

BAW HAW HAW - Excelent... The KChat board is more a study of the human condition than a Ski board...

I have been a hardcore lurker for 4-5 years on Killington chat, I agree lots of nonsense flowing there but it is useful this time of year for the inside scoop on opening rumors....

Hangin with the Maggots on Powdermag is actually a decent board for getting the skinny on out west/world locations...from a unique hardcore point on view....also some amusing BS threads too...being a rider, I only lurk there

I also follow

www.snowjournal.com (http://www.snowjournal.com)

a site catering to smaller 'eastern classic' ski areas...loosely affiliated with

www.nelsap.org..... (http://www.nelsap.org.....)

a 'lost' ski areas site....

T4T is the best 'vibe' IMHO :D

Oh just wait till the season gets started DMC with some of their "snow reports" Hell 95% of the time it is just talk about apres and stuff but when you do get a report its like someone talking about how great it was they groomed some random blue run. When I come back from a trip I post where to find moguls and snow conditions on different tree trails period.

Not looking to compare or anything, I'm just looking to provide some links to other useful forums from T4T, as we'll we are updating the discussion board index on SkiCentral which is somewhat out of date.

No sure what happened to skinets forums. Don't think they were ever very active. Sure looks dismal now though... http://www.skinet.com/skinet/forum/0,13269,,00.html

I checkup on RSN Mount Washington Valley Forum (http://www.rsn.com/cams/conway/cam_welcome.html) daily but it's been slow lately.

Sugarloaf's Forum (http://www.sugarloaf.com/chat/index.php) is usually pretty good.

Sunday River's Forum (http://www.sundayriver.com/phpBB) used to be good, but now it's mostly over run by punk kids talking about how great they are and how nice there ski stuff is that mommy and daddy bought them. (I'm jealous, I wish mommy and daddy bought me nice ski stuff)

Telemark Tips (http://www.telemarktips.com/) forum is unreal how busy it is. There is everything on there from great TR's to bizarre OT.
