i could not have said it better myself. just ride the sunnyside double all day. you don't "have" to ride the single, the line at the double would be much less and move a lot quicker. still accesses at least 80% of MRG's terrain.
The double doesn't access 80% of MRG's terrain. The double has some good stuff, but I wouldn't want to ski it all day. The choices from there are really limited. The top half of the single is where the best terrain on the mountain is.

When I went it was a really nice day with good snow, which is probably why there were the crowds. Who knows, I may still be in for this trip. I'll see when the time comes closer. I have the Mad Card and a voucher from a trail work day so I'll def be there 4 other days this year at the very least.
I agree with skibum about the terrain, but...

even if I had to ride the double all day, $3.50 is hard to beat!

3.50 honestly guys, even if I only rode the single 2 or 3 times I'd be happy, a dollar a ride to the top of MRG, give me a break you couldn't beat that offer with a stick!

It's a good deal for sure. But sitting in a lift line is like sitting in traffic for me. Even if I have nowhere to go I just get really pissed off. I just don't know if it's worth taking a day off from work to drive up there when I could take a day off another time, ski for free (more like passes I've already paid for) without lift lines.

AZ Outing at MRG?
Now that we're getting close to Tuesday Jan. 31 and $3.50 lift tickets at MRG, who's interested in meeting for some runs?

MRG reported 6-8" last night with close to a foot total since Monday so conditions are on the rebound!
Plus, the forecast is calling for snow on Sun night through Tuesday. Roger Hill syas it could total up to 12" inches at the top. I realize forecasts that far out are suspect but at least they're not predicting rain.

Who's in and what time should we all meet at the Single?

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to pass...I took some time off the week of 2/6 for the AZ meeting at Cannon and I just have too much to do at work to take more time the 31st.

Damned work!

Perhaps we can meet up another day later in the season?

Absolutely! I hear ya on the damn work situation. I've just happened to luck out and be able to play hooky early next week.

I wanted to attend the AZ day at Cannon but unfortunately made other ski plans that weekend with some buddies of mine before I realized that was the AZ Cannon Day. Oh well, I'll have to make another AZ outing. We'll have to ski some runs together at another outing.

Yes, I made it and the skiing was very good. Trip Report to follow shortly. That's 2 straight years for me of $3.50 lift tickets with fresh powder and minimal crowds.

Smart move...this end of week weather is going to cost them whatever snow they gained recently.
