Perhaps. Might be a dumb move, but I never claimed to be smart. I can probably get from Sundown to the GL in 3.5 hours. Roll in between 1 and 2 am and crash for 6 hours. No problem.

So I guess the wife and I won't be waiting up for you to have a late night cocktail.

Nope. I'll catch you in the morning. For breakfast, not a cocktail.

Mimosas? No, thanks. I actually make a pretty killer Bloody Mary though.

Coffee and Melinda's breakfast will suit me just fine. I'd imagine that by that point next season, you'll be ready for some of MRG's offerings, Chris.

You are a crazy man.

I can't bring myself to leave the little one behind. So it looks like I'll be watching the kids while everyone has fun. Unless Brian can tear himself away to watch them for a few runs... Though I am NOT going to sit in the lodge all day with a 10 month old and nearly 3 year old. No way, no how!

Brian - You really do need to make those reservations....

The Gatehouse Lodge is pretty nice though!

We can only get my sister in law to watch the kids Thursday night. So It looks like I'm going to be up then and just ski on Friday. Still need to make reservations for that night.

In my opinion, there is plenty of fun terrain at MRG for your wife, even though I have no idea what kind of a skier she is. I've skied with my wife and children at MRG numerous times and there are plenty of blue square cruisers for her (and you) to enjoy. Don't be intimidated by the "Ski it if you Can" slogan. My wife has never skied the real tough stuff at MRG & has always enjoyed herself. IMHO you owe it to yourselves to experience MRG when you're up there. Riding the Single chair (even the new one) is a must do experience.
