New England Mad River Glen - A Trip East

[Bill Talbot]

Thanks PJ. That was great. Lot of great old skiers in that film. Fun to hear how a little group of pass holders just casually got together one day and without much input from owners or management went and cut one of the most famous expert runs in the country - Paradise. It looks like they made that documentary in 1989 and ironically at the end they talk about people skiing in the trees. They are not sure that is a good thing, but they can't stop all the people that seem to want to do it. Now, of course, that is THE thing MRG is known for

I thought it was NO snowboarders...

Please bring Ziggy. I have a new helmet that needs to be christened.

I am not sure if he is going to make this trip. We will be flying.

 

[Josh Matta]

I thought I answered this but see that I must not have hit submit.
We are flying and either renting or stealing a car.

*fun story about the SS job.

like its no Longer Terry Barbour....

I actually have no idea who the new person is....

 

[LiquidFeet]

Did Terry leave? Really?
He was head of the ski school. Was he also General Manager?

 

[Josh Matta]

SS....

went to Sugarbush.

Poor Mad River. It must be getting pretty thin down there. U14 SL cancelled and moved to Sugarbush this coming weekend.

You want Ziggy to pee on your helmet? Will you be wearing it?

 

[Philpug]

Poor Ziggy, he pees on one smelly helmet, for the rest his life, he is labeled a smelly helmet pee'er/

He's just establishing dominance over all the other dogs that peed there.

Keep me in the loop. It'll be great to ski MRG with Phil again, and finally meet Tricia.

 

[Phelmut]

Somehow I missed this. I had a cat at the time so i'm sure he smelled that.

Is this still on your agenda? Due to the warm weather we cancelled plans for going to the Mid-A gathering and have our sights set on Sugarbush and MRG some time in March.

Let's all cross fingers. It's gotten awfully warm, but a couple of Nova Scotians we met say they always get a dump in March. (Don't know how that relates, but any straw works for me.)

 

[Frankly]

I take a dump every March, whether I need to or not

It's just a behind - schedule January thaw. It will get cold again (eventually). We'll have a NE gathering.

Sunday morning with the big Sunday crossword. Heaven

I'll probably be at Sugarbush tomorrow. I'll report back. But based on what I'm seeing now in the Burlington area, they have been hit and hit hard. More cover in Maine, now, based on input from friends the last couple days.
