Greg: Is the planned trip really from April 4 to 6 or will it extend into the weekend?

I'm coming up the night of the 5th, skiing MRG on the 6th and heading home from there. Let me know where you'll be on the 6th.

At this point, I'm planning on hitting MRG on the 6th as well. We should hook up for some turns, along with anyone else who will be there (2knees?).

Depending on conditions, I may also hit MRG on Sun 4/8 as this will be the last day of the MRG season & the last day of the original Single Chair. I'd enjoy hooking up with Steve for a few runs that day. Let's hope the conditions hold up well until then!

Absolutely! You probably know the mountain far better than us so it would be great to get shown around.

I know it's just accuweather and all but check out the forecast for April 5:

Powder day on the 6th?

One can dream, can't he?

The NWS is mentioning something possibly for next Thursday too:

Sounds good. While it still is a ways off, I'll be doing my snow dance. As you know, there's nothing quite like fresh snow at MRG!

Don't jinx it bud....................... but I'm right with you on this one. I just called Michael (thanks KingM) to reserve my spot. I'll be at the Bush with my friend Chris in a blizzard on Thursday, then at Mad River Friday. That will probably be it, but I'll leave Saturday open for now. I must get down to Mt. Snow for Sunday however to close the hill for the year - tradition with the kids.

Nice. It will be good to get to meet you reefer. Sort of a make up for Mount Snow. And again, as I posted in your other thread, your first ride up on the Single that day will most definitely look like this (4/1/2000):

It's going to rule it people!

Hey King M...sent you a PM..thanks

**Greg** · Apr 1, 2007, 7:32 PM

Well, it looks like MRG is closed until Saturday so I guess we'll have to "settle" for Sugarbush on Friday...
