MRV Reunion - April 4-6

[KingM]

Hey, is anyone up for an AZ gathering in the Mad River Valley? All this snow makes me think we'll still have great Spring conditions that first week in April. But once April hits, I should be able to offer up some rooms without losing out on full-priced guests. I'm thinking maybe April 1, 2, 3, with skiing that Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. If people wouldn't mind sharing rooms with other AZers, I could offer rooms for $25/person/night, plus breakfast. I've also got some good ticket deals for SB or MRG. I'm thinking if we could get at least 6-8 people coming, maybe more, it would be a lot of fun.

Hmmm, sounds intriguing. No one else interested?

This is one of the threads I had to step back and think about. Very enticing. Not to mention a REALLY generous offer by King M.

Despite being a scrub ;-) one of my goals this season was to get up to MRG and ride the single chair.

If we get a few takers I might have to take some time off and skip out on my volunteer lax coaching duties.

PS - Reviewing the 'Bush and MRG pics from Greg is quite alluring.

my buddy and i are headed up to MRG Sat night Mar 30, skiing Apr 1...great deal!!

 

[ski_industry_enthusiast]

That would be fun. Although, I already live there!

If anyone actually comes, you might want to hit Mt. Ellen on April first since that is the last operating day there. Then hit Lincoln Peak and MRG the other two days.

King,

I would be able to attend, but I have to commend you for your generous offer. Very nice of you to provide such a deal to members, and way to maintain a community spirit!

I just spoke with the wife and she doesn't care if I go. I volunteered to coach HS lax in my town but I'm only a volunteer and would only miss two practices. I have my own lax game on Sunday, but don't care if I miss it..... If we get a crew together I'm 99% a sure thing.

I will not be able to attend...plan is for the entire family to spend the weekend and week before Easter up in the Presidentials.

But I must heartily recommend KingM's establishment The Golden Lion. It's a simple and cozy place and very comfy. Good breakfast included in most of the room rates. Outdoor hot tub (kind of a bitch to get in and out of on those below zero nights we had!).

Michael and Melinda run a very nice place.

Definitely interested, and a very generous offer from KingM..But I can't do it because it's Passover, and also I will have just been coming back from a vacation so wouldn't want to take more vacation time even if it weren't a holiday. I would love to do such a trip in the future though.

I should be able to make at least one of the days. Should be great skiing. :smile:

 

[Greg]

Great idea and nice offer, Michael! I doubt I can swing that MTW, but I can do a Thursday night and ski Good Friday (April 6). Any thoughts on that, or running the multi-day gathering into that Friday?

That might work for me instead. I have to check with work, I might have some scheduling issues with April in general...

 

[MadPadraic]

I'd be interested in a Th/Fri thing. Very generous offer.

 

[KingM]

I can be flexible with the days if skiing Thursday/Friday works better for people.

 

[Greg]

I'm down for Thursday night, ski MRG on Friday.

 

[Greg]

Michael graciously agreed to offer this deal ($25/person/night, plus breakfast) for Wednesday and Thursday night of that week (April 4 & 5). I will likely stay at the Golden Lion on Thursday night, April 5 and ski MRG on Good Friday, April 6. Do these nights work better for others?

 

[MadPadraic]

I'm 99%.

 

[MRGisevil]

If I can get the day off I'd definately head up for Friday skiing... so I'm 50/50 atm.

I think I will be up there then also (arriving Thurs. night to ski Friday & all weekend) so I'm definitely interested & those dates work better for me.

I moved this to T&E and retitled to "MRV Reunion - April 4-6".

Michael - what's the process for those looking to book rooms?
