We actually drove up on Friday and stayed over night at a really nice B&B, The Yellow Farm House Inn which was about 5 minutes from MRG. We were on the hill for 8:30 am. It was an awsome day, loads of great skiing! I felt like a kid in a candy store!

What a day!!Great to see Joe again and ski with Greg and Jeff. That place kicked my butt...What a mountain..unreal. After skiing a pow day at Killington on Thursday, then the Glen on Friday and skied at Killington on Sat, then a 6 hr drive home today.... I feel like i was in a huge car reck. Some pics...

riverc0il wasn't thrilled with his attempt at lower liftline, but at least he went for it. Here's a short sequence:

I have heard this said more about MRG than any other place in the northeast. I've even said it. Sweet stuff.

It was definitely not a thing of beauty, that is for sure. Second picture in the actual 'sequence' after the first few shots is when I realized "hmmm, I am on my left ski..... I never hit big drops off my left ski!" Never realized I always take the bigger drops popping off my right until that moment of indecision, thus the last minute correction, bad setup, and ugly landing. That was off the easier side too. But by the second to last run of the day, I was getting sloppy.

Question?

Am I crazy or did that big yellow barn next to the single not used to be there? It's been a good 8 years since I last went.
