MRV Reunion - April 4-6

[reefer]

Sign me up! Thanks so much for the offer! Keith.

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?

Just give me a call. Go the website below for the number. If you've got someone you'd prefer to room with, let me know.

Which reminds me. I'd better, uhm, mention this little "offer" to my wife before anyone calls.

Nice. So what constitutes a full room? 2 people? If so, AZers should work it out amongst themselves to find a room partner and then have one call to reserve the room? What kind of lift ticket deals can you offer?

Thanks for doing this.

Since I already live there, just let me know where you'll be at and when, and I'll try to hook up with you all at the mountain.

 

[Greg]

Bumpety bump bump.

Again, I'm probably MRG bound on Good Friday, April 6 if they can hold on with a decent amount of terrain. MRG just went to spring pricing and hours. Lift tickets are $29 and you can ski till 4:30 pm now!

Keep an eye here. Josh Fox is pretty good at the longer range forecast. Hopefully the mountain holds on to a lot of snow and will have spring bumps galore! Ride that original single one last time!

good friday is a floating holiday for me so i just have to squeeze this past the real boss, my wife. put me down, as brian says, at 92.3654%.

 

[Greg]

Bump!

 

[Grassi21]

I'm out.

I will be in the MRV from Thurs. night April 5 thru Sun. April 8. I'll be staying at my condo off the SB Access Road so I won't need lodging from the very generous KingM (this time). Hopefully, I'll be able to ski with some AZers during this time, however. I'm planning on hitting both MRG & LP that weekend.

Greg: Is the planned trip really from April 4 to 6 or will it extend into the weekend?

 

[riverc0il]

I am at the Glen on the 7th most likely and definitely the 8th if anyone is staying for the weekend.

I'm coming up the night of the 5th, skiing MRG on the 6th and heading home from there. Let me know where you'll be on the 6th.

At this point, I'm planning on hitting MRG on the 6th as well. We should hook up for some turns, along with anyone else who will be there (2knees?).

Depending on conditions, I may also hit MRG on Sun 4/8 as this will be the last day of the MRG season & the last day of the original Single Chair. I'd enjoy hooking up with Steve for a few runs that day. Let's hope the conditions hold up well until then!

Absolutely! You probably know the mountain far better than us so it would be great to get shown around.

I know it's just accuweather and all but check out the forecast for April 5:

Powder day on the 6th? :-o One can dream, can't he?

The NWS is mentioning something possibly for next Thursday too:

Sounds good. While it still is a ways off, I'll be doing my snow dance. As you know, there's nothing quite like fresh snow at MRG!

 

[reefer]

I'm in

Don't jinx it bud....................... but I'm right with you on this one. I just called Michael (thanks KingM) to reserve my spot. I'll be at the Bush with my friend Chris in a blizzard on Thursday, then at Mad River Friday. That will probably be it, but I'll leave Saturday open for now. I must get down to Mt. Snow for Sunday however to close the hill for the year - tradition with the kids.

Nice. It will be good to get to meet you reefer. Sort of a make up for Mount Snow. And again, as I posted in your other thread, your first ride up on the Single that day will most definitely look like this (4/1/2000):

It's going to rule it people!

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

Hey King M...sent you a PM..thanks

 

[Greg]

Well, it looks like MRG is closed until Saturday so I guess we'll have to "settle" for Sugarbush on Friday...
