In 1999, @AC_ had a vision to create a place where people who were passionate about skiing could hang out and talk about all things skiing, which was the beginning of EpicSki.com. Over the years, the passion shared by the members fueled conversations about ski instruction, ski gear, ski trips, ski resorts, ski academies, ski gatherings, and even a few ski weddings ... including ours.
We witnessed several evolutions of EpicSki as platforms and ownership changed, but the community kept humming along. AC nursed Epic as an infant, nurturing the site so it could indeed walk (or, in this case, ski) on its own. Nolo then took EpicSki to adulthood, and finally Mountain News Corp. ownership took it to the end. Technically, MNC is not shutting down EpicSki: Wikia shut down Huddler, leaving Epic without a platform.
Today we say goodbye to our old friend as we knew it. But we continue to build on its sense of community and discussion of all things skiing.
We have this thread where we want to keep all of the information centralized and the "Booting Up: New Member Introductions" where you can re-introduce yourself to the community. So, if you have any questions regarding Epic or you want to add your thoughts and memories, please do so here. If you happened to miss this thread and start a new one, we will just merge it into this thread. It really isn't a biggy, but we are trying to keep it a bit organized so people aren't looking all over.

While the topic is no longer "Breaking News," it is still a subject that will be ongoing for the next months -- and even a year, until many of the Bears come out of summer hibernation and start foraging for skiing content and information.Please note the changing of the title.
