Some people have been migrating over to SkiTalk.
I'd so get banned there. Meh, maybe not.
Sadly it has really gone downhill. Traffic has cratered.
Shit , this is the closest thing I have to an online social life.
Which forum did Benny go to? That could be amusing.
nyskiblog. but his content is less than inspired.
The amount of money I save on ski gear through the forum is significant enough that I'd chip in to fund some proper IT infrastructure for the forums... Maybe we can band some people together to pool a bit of money, set this up on a different forum platform, and ask TGR to redirect to a new platform? I've given up hope that Tapatalk will ever be workable.
Evidently keeping a forum up and running is more complicated than rocket dentistry. For fucks sake, if Flexon Phil can keep Ski Talk up and running then anybody ought to be able to make it work. It's not like this is uncharted territory on the innerweb.
OPEN LETTER TO THE IT GUT AT TGR......please take a quick break from smoking dope and watching reruns of Gilligan's Island and fix this fucker.
Fuck this shit, I'm going to AlpineZone.
I have said elsewhere that I’m happy to set us up on the domain powfix.com … we’ll see how it goes in the coming weeks and if it’s necessary I’ll get it done.
In the meantime if you’re on Facebook join the group The Powder Zone for updates.
I joined, it’s not too bad, full of piste dorks but they love pics of off piste powderQuote:

If you can't respond to a SkiTalk reference with a NERDS! gif, the TGR truly is dead.</p>
Maybe this is the price we pay for being the most legit. Like CBGB.
Todd keeping it real
What about a discord? Isn’t that what all the cool kids are doing now?

Discord would be fine for casual talk here and there, but threads wouldn't succeed imo. My hope is in powfix. Thanks for your hard work thus far TahoeJ.
The TGR app on the App Store is no longer supported.
Everyone is supposed to use the “Tapatalk” app now, which mainly sucks because there are ads unless you pay for the “VIP” version, which isn’t that expensive to be fair, $10 annual or $30 lifetime. Emojis and pictures and numbers work on that app, as well as the desktop site
The Mod team stated on 2/9/25 that the Main TGR site is going through a lot of changes/upgrades/data migration, and is the main priority initially. The mod and IT team is aware of the forum issues, but they aren’t a priority and likely won’t be completely fixed until later in the year ~5 months. See the link at the bottom of my post, it’s a sticky.
The data migration and site upgrades are likely a cause of the forum being slow/not loading intermittently, and shouldn’t be permanent. Currently seems like there are server communication issues.
I wouldn’t care one way or another where/how the site is hosted, but it would be a tragedy IMO if all the threads and data on this forum were lost, there’s so much good technical and ski review related info on the threads here going back 15+ years so keeping the forum alive should be the goal IMO. I search through old threads all the time for technical info. Not sure how migrating to a new domain would work with old threads, particularly because the only search engine that actually works to parse through them is Google (to search only the tgr site).
Forum issues: word from TGR HQ
https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...d.php?t=360129
If we transition to a new forum software, keeping the old forum in a read-only state would be great. There's a lot of info buried in the old threads, things like first descent records and niche gear info.
One of the tragedies of the upgrade of the turns-all-year forums was that a bunch of old trip reports got mangled in the transition. The simplest solution seems like keeping a read-only version of the forum around and host a fresh start.
If we go to a new forum/fresh start, I do think it’d be a really good idea to make some “brand specific threads” which sort of exist now but are scattered and disjointed. Phil is Doing a decent job of this on SkiTalk with yearly binding and ski threads for different brands, but I don’t think doing a new thread every year is necessary
“Salomon Skis Mega Thread”
“ON3P Skis Mega Thread”
“Look/Rossignol Binding Thread”
“Binding Mounting and Adjustment Thread”
Etc
Instead of a million individual ski and brand threads and question threads popping up.

Man I can only sporadically even gets page to open. Usually times out to some Bad Gateway page.
Anyway… I could not find the Facebook group - the powder zone? Could be user error. Just an occasional lurker on a few bc groups there.
Somebody must have fixed something very recently.

:( Sad truth here... Wishing all this lore, stoke, and knowledge does not disappear.

Hey the forum is actually working today, exciting! I sent email to TGR customer service and here's what they said. Ill be optimistic, sounds promising!--------We have been dealing with quite a few forums issues over the last year plus, and have been doing what we can to keep it going - but we know that the aging tech has caused for a serious decline in user experience.We are dealing with a significant server issue this week and last and it will be another 5-7 days before that is fixed. That will help a bit, but we know it isn’t the full answer.The good news is that we started a replatforming process a few weeks back that will dramatically improve the experience, but the bad news is that it will take us until August to have the new experience up and running.I hope we can keep you in the mix until then, and please do spread the word. Reach back if you have any other questions or concerns.And again, thanks for being with TGR so long and we hope the new platform stokes you out come this fall.
That is good to hear. Why stop wasting a little time here after 20 years?
Wow I got in here! Do you all (or any of you) get a 502 Bad Gateway message? I usually now time out and get that page. I’ve almost given up on tgr
Are we back?!
Actually working today, but sounds like it will be touch and go until August-September
