Mad River Today Dec 14, 2004 at 10:00:00
With 10 plus inches of new snow last night/today and more on the way in the coming days the start of the 2005 Mad River Glen ski season is upon us. The plan is to open for the season on Thursday . Mad River's mountain operations crew is hard at work getting everything ready. The word from the mountain is that there is unusually consistent coverage on the entire mountain with more than 2.5 feet of base on the higher elevations. The wet snow from last week's snowfalls was wet and was exactly the kind of base-building snow skiers like to see. With dropping temperatures and drier snow the base has drained well and the groomers were able to get the groomers up onto the hill to pin down the base. Most all of the water bars and culverts are well covered and the skiing should be excellent There is nothing like the first few runs of the year on trails like Paradise and Chute when they are still flat, this is really going to be a treat so come on out and enjoy it." We will open on Thursday with the Single Chair only with all trails expected to be open off the top including Fall LIne, Paradise, Catamount and Chute.

Looks like powder11 and I will be schralping the Bush on Friday, I'll be at Mt. Snow tomorrow afternoon (I don't think powder11 is making it to that). Anyone else in?
Maybe see some Boston mags Thursday evening?
