MRV Reunion - April 4-6

[riverc0il]

Not to surprising to see them shut down for the mid-week. While skiing there on Saturday, I was pretty confident we would see this announcement and it makes a lot of sense. I will be back up for Saturday, hopefully we will have some snow this week to refreshen surfaces and fill in some of the holes. Single was ski on this past Saturday, can't beat that.

Nice. I wonder if they'll reconsider opening on Friday seeing it's Good Friday and I assume many people have that off. Also, it's going to be a powder day, remember?

Still holding out hope for a decent Friday:

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
502 AM EDT MON APR 2 2007

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
WITH LOW PRESSURE FORMING OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WEDNESDAY
EVENING COULD BE A BURST OF HEAVIER PRECIPITATION AS IT CHANGES
OVER TO SNOW 00Z- 06Z ALL AREAS WITH A FEW INCHES OF SNOW
EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY HIGHER TERRAIN.

BY FRIDAY...CUTOFF POLAR VORTEX BECOMES ESTABLISHED OVER NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND AND SOUTHEASTERN CANADA WITH UNSEASONABLY COOL
TEMPERATURES AND NW PERSISTENT UPSLOPE FLOW WILL DRIVE MAINLY SNOW
SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY HIGHER TERRAIN....POSSIBLY MIXED WITH RAIN IN
THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. STILL LOOKS LIKE ACCUMULATING LIGHT SNOWS IN
THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE PERIOD WHICH COULD ADD UP TO
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS BY THE WEEKEND.

We'll check that out and hope. But it looks like I may miss you again. Our plan B at this point is to do Killington Friday if MRG doesn't open. We will be at the Bush Thursday.

Keep us updated on Sugarbush conditions on Thursday if you can. I see Castlerock closed today so we really need one more dump to get the double spinning again...

OK so let's do a roll call to see who will be in the MRV later this week/weekend. I will be there Thurs night thru Sun afternoon so I'll have the opportunity to ski 3 days. I'm thinking 2 days at MRG & 1 at Sugarbush but it will depend on conditions. It sure would be great if MRG opened on Good Friday.

I believe Greg will be there for Friday & Riverc0il on Saturday. Looks like Reefer will be there Thursday. What about 2knees & MadPadraic? Anyone else I'm missing? And for the MRV locals (KingM, BushMogulMaster, ski_resort_observer & anyone else), who wants to meet-up for some Spring turns?

It's time to chime in here folks!

Roll call is a good idea. My friend Joe and I are staying at KingM's place Thursday night. If MRG reopens early, we will ski there on Good Friday, otherwise it's Sugarbush. Leaving for CT after skiing on Friday. 2knees is out; that I do know.

I have Cingular cell service and normally have good coverage all over the MRV, except right at MRG. PM me for my cell number.

The weather forecast is a very positive one right now.

We're in a ski house so we don't need a room, But count me and V in for skiing on Friday. Would be nice if MRG opens, I did want to check it out this year.
