MRG is a gem for h ardcore skiers, full of secret stashes, but can be a dangerous place for the unintiated. I know my first time there 18 years ago, I broke my femur in the three cliffs area. I got in way over my head( all night party did not help) on terrain I was not ready for.Since then I have skied and discoverd many off map areas but would never disclose such as would not want to be responsible for anyone's suffering or pissing off the locals.

I understand why a serious answer isn't going to happen, but I'd be careful about answering like that without any sort of disclaimer. ... While it's probably pretty obvious that you are kidding, if anyone takes the seriously, that person could be in pretty bad shape.

And they would deserve what they get with no sympathy from me. You can see the discussion about mentioning stashes online for more on my opinion on that topic.

SkiBum23... the best way to get to know mountain's better is to either explore them yourself or ski with someone else that knows the mountain. For a serious answer to your question, spend some time on the forums, get to know people that regularly ski there, and try to arrange a meet up. Or try to hook up with someone on the mountain. Personally, I would ski with someone a few runs before showing them anything, especially at Mad River, to ensure the other skier was not getting in over there head. There are a handful of areas in New England that have some trecherous terrain that challenges even the best skiers. Mad River is one of them as many off piste runs at Mad River make Paradise look like a green circle warm up. If you do go exploring on your own, use a sensational amount of caution as Mad River tends to be a cliffy mountain in many places.

when things get CLIFFY:grin: is when people get in to trouble. people need to realize their limits. otherwise natural selection takes over.

I think SkiBum23 is a troll. Probably read the "mentioning stashes" thread and posted this as his first post. I suspect a current AZ member. C'mon Greg, you can tell by the IP addy's. Is this a troll?

And you can also use the term as a code to identify other AZers.

Please guys....stay on the trails!!!!! If you ski in the woods..you could hit a tree and die..look at what happened to Sonny Bono. I would recommend that you ski in the middle of the trail and only if there is a ski patroller within 50 yards. Also be sure to wear lots of padding. Not just knee, elbow, wrist guards and butt pad but a full Sumo Wrestler uniform..What you give up in mobility..you'll make up for in piece of mind knowing that if a snow snake bites you, you'll have the appropriate padding.

This is the time to brush up on the Skiers Responsibility code..and for you jib-honks..Smartstyle..it's important and if you want more info on the SRC or SS.,,please PM me...also help control the pet population..have your pet spayed or neutered.
