If it makes you feel any better, I've never been there either.

You are. The reason is you, more than just about anybody that I know, needs to ski MRG. I know how much you love Magic, but MRG is like Magic's big brother on steroids.

It's gonna happen!

Me neither!

I've never gone there out of principle. That whole "Mad River Glen, Ski It If You Can" marketing garbage always annoyed me. It doesn't rhyme!

This one's for [post="235739"]GSS[/post]:

It take more skill to make lots of goofy little turns than it does to make only a few Super-G turns.

Speaking of MRG, I think they should ban snowboarders forever. Tell me where I’m wrong.

Okemo is overrated.

You just have to be creative and look around - last time I was there in Jan. I hadn't been in a while and had the AZ influence of "Okemo sucks" in my mind... or at least expectation. So I just looked around harder and found some untracked powder in the trees and stuck to those and other untracked tree shots here and there and the mountain's "double diamonds".
After that I just spent time killing my legs hopping back and forth over the "grooming wall" on the trails making for some nice fake ridge skiing

Just have to open your eyes and you will see

Plus, to be overrated... don't you have to be rated high anyway? Who's rating Okemo high on their list - Okemothers?

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

No fair! I already proved you wrong...

Seriously, for me, the biggest thing my bump skis have done for me was to let me learn to get my stance tight. As you know, that's very important in the bumps. I also believe it's the best position in powder and other variable terrain.

yes about powder WRONG about variable terrain :lol:

guess I've launched myself into this thread trying to prove you wrong while you're trying to prove hpd wrong :lol:

variable conditions are best skied with skis slightly more than shoulder length apart, and I stress slightly. Keeping a tight stance as in moguls limits your edging leverage and more important than that also limits your 'independent suspension' some. I do tighten up my stance a bit during variable conditions as it does promote a more even weight distribution over my skis, but no where near as tight as I keep it when bumping.
