MRG Opening Saturday, Dec 12th

[WWF-VT]

More good news from the Mad River Valley:


A surprising 6"-9" plus fell overnight and that will enable us to open for the 2009-2010 season tomorrow! Now that's what we call a early Christmas present! We'll be cranking up both the Single and the Double at 10 AM on Saturday, (because we are opening so unexpectedly we are being forced to have a delayed opening) We'll make an exact call on which trails will be open in the morning. The"earn your turn" crowd is reporting astoundingly good skiing right now - hey what would you expect with all the snow we have been blessed with of late.

Mad River Glen to Open Tomorrow

The"earn your turn" crowd is reporting astoundingly good skiing right now - hey what would you expect with all the snow we have been blessed with of late. The lifts will operate from 10 AM to 3:45 tomorrow and from 9 AM to 3:45 PM on Sunday. Regular weekend lift ticket rates will be in effect, Midweek and Value Passholders will be able to ski for $39 a day this weekend.

The snow is exceedingly light and fluffy right now and we expect to have a great deal of the main mountain terrain open. That being said the wind has begun to kick up a bit and that may change some things. Time will tell and we'll make a definitive call on open terrain in the morning.

LOL. I checked to make sure nobody had posted before starting the same thread. Looks like we were doing the same thing at the same time.

In another thread last night I noted my local MA coastal 248' vert hill Ski Bradford plans to open Sunday and MRG wasn't projecting open until next Friday. Now all is again right with the world. :-D

On Sunday, planning to open lift to public by 9am.

Was really sick up there today. AWESOME ripping pow on trails normally all bumped up. Best run on Fall Line for me ever--just popping off rocks and landing in knee deep untracked. Place got tracked out pretty quickly but some untracked easily found every run.
