I'll definitely try to get on Michaels computer after sking Thursday with a report, but you may be on your way by then? Staying at the Inn Wednesday and Thursday night. So I'll make sure my cooler has plenty of cold ones when you arrive after that "white knuckle" drive. We should at least get to throw a couple down together. If you want to PM me your cell phone # I'll try to give you a live report from the hill Thursday. Again, I will be at Sugarbush Thursday, that's a definite, and Killington Friday, unless MRG opens, and of course, always subject to change based on weather conditions....................love to ski the Bush with you guys Friday but it's an economical decision, like Killington is paid for. We're using vouchers on Thursday that I attained in a silent auction to benefit our ski club, Thanks Win for your support of the Worcester Ski Club, can't wait to ski the Bush again!

Sugarbush Friday Roll-call:

I'm still keeping MRG open as an option, but from what I hear Friday is unlikely unless they score a lot of snow the next few days. I also heard from good authority that reopening Castlerock on Saturday is not off the table; Friday is even a possibility with enough snow.

I'll be at the Bush in the PM Friday. I'll have to find you.

Wow...this is looks amazing, reminds me of a few years ago when the Sugarbush Triathalon was done in a raging blizzard. Really windy now and the rain has changed to a mix near the bottom of the Access Rd. No, I'm not at King's place

I just spoke to the mountain and it is snowing mid mountain and above. This could be really big. Yikes!

If we luck out and get a foot out of this we may open up on Friday.

Things are looking good at the Bush (8" at the base of ME this morning)! However, I don't think it's enough to bring back the Rock. Regardless, conditions will be great, and I'll give you an update when I get off the mountain!

I wouldn't count on MRG opening tomorrow, but you can keep your eye on the website.

Looks like tomorrow is indeed the MRG reopening:

Mad River Glen has temporarily suspended operations. However due to last nights snow fall we will re-open for skiing on Friday! We will remain open for for one last weekend of skiing and will close out our season on Sunday April 8th. We have picked up 7-9" of snow and it continues to snow.

I truly love Sugarbush, but I just have to give that Single one last ride so I'll be heading to MRG tomorrow.
