Great to meet up with you John. yes.. Sugarbush has some sweet conditions now... Castlerock was wide open and I took advantage of the conditions and skiied it hard yesterday afternoon. Next time I hope to get a chance to ski with you John...

not sure if I have posted this link before that chronicles Brian Mohr (Ember photography and Adventureskier.com) and Emily skiing MRG during the famous 2007 valentine's day storm. The footage shows Brian's crew skiing several woods lines off the MRG single and some epic conditions on Paradise (Awesome glade trail @ MRG)

I bet it has been close to 20 years now but MRG was surely at its best for a storm that turned a 2 day trip into a 5 day trip. Rt.89 was closed and so was MRG for a day and a half.Youth dictated we walk up for freshies...we skied paradise in champagne powder up to our chest,point them downhill and go!!!Still remember searching for my ski for 2 hours.Great area,are they still anti snowboard?John,do you remember Betsy?We used to stay at her place and abuse the honor system for the bar lol.

The Mad River Barn used to have a bar with an indoor shuffleboard table... we used to hit that place after skiing for several rounds and play the shuffleboard game while we sucked down the beers . it was the best... anyone else ever go to the Barn on route 17

Chris,if you mean Betsy Pratt,i still see around,pretty sure i went to St Mikes with her son or nephew, Rob.never really to the barn. but i did spend a few dollars at the blue tooth for dimies,those were the days 10 cent beers at the Tooth,would stay at the Bagatelle for a 1.50 a night for bag space,2.00 dollars if you wanted a pad. a meal vocher was 2 dollars for a meal at Gallaghers.now adays a grand will get you a room and a nice meal.Rumble was a bit boney today but i couldn't say no to the kids when they wanted to ski it.
