2006 Trip Report #: 56
Resort: Mad River Glen
Conditions: SC/Snow changing to nice spring conditions.
Weather: Cloudy Skies and Fog linger at the summits. Temps in the 40's.
Trip Report: The last time I skied MRG was in 2002 when things were thin and I stuck mainly to groomers rather than braving the icy bumps. Today was a different story. I was able to convince friend and tele skier MS to come with me. It was a great day...lots of great soft snow and plenty of terrain to hit. We hit all the diamonds except for the closed Fall Line and Paradise runs. Pretty good considering we started at 11. We also spotted awf170, eatskisleep, and riverc0il from the lift.
Some pics in order of what we hit....
We ended up on Canyon and then Eaton's Run with some nice stuff:
Before doing Catamount Chute to Gazelle and then hitting Gazelle top to bottom:
We then went up top to watch the mogul challenge and skied Upper Liftline back to Moody's and Canyon.
Liftline was just too tasty:
Though I followed my nice line a bit too far and found myself peering over the cliffs...so I had to backtrack rather than make the mandatory air. Probably should have just taken it:
Mark on Liftline:
We did a nice spin down Antelope and then down Catamount Bowl to Lynx/Beaver:
