11. January 10th - MRG

How did Mad River ski?? I am real confused how they have gotten considerably less snow than Sugarbush while being at a similar location and altitude. It makes me wonder how accurate both mountains' snow totals are.

The"snowstake"at the top of SB is quite inaccurate. Due to the "hole" it is in there is some drifting problems and they are starting to realize it.Three times in the past two weeks they have drastically cut the initial reported snow total. A couple of days the stake showed 8-9" and they reported 8-9" then went back and changed the report to 2-3". This morning the stake shows 7" but they are reporting 4". If they were practicing this throughout the year then their totals would be much lower.

That said, both areas have escaped rain and warmth (until the next few days) and there is A LOT of snow on the upper half or so of MRG. All the woods on the upper half of the mountain and everything around Paradise are more than filled in. Lower mountain is a different story.

K skied great; kudos for leaving a lot of thin cover terrain open. Trees skied well, a little noisy on Anarchy but no base damage. Natural snow trails also nice. And bumps on right side lower SS were superb as always.`

keep the faith
My days are in my sig. I reckon it's been a good start to the season overall. About to really ramp things up for the 2nd half of the season though.. been holding most of my cards for late Jan-Feb-March.
