East MF Coast 19/20.

[HankScorpio]

Lots of locals in woolies with rear entry boots and straight skis. Not much as skiers but those fuckers could DRINK.

This type of zoo sounds like fun, it's just that damn line for the single chair.........

[MyNameIsAugustWest]

I know the Ops Manager at MRG (he used to run things at Magic). Last year, I asked him if I should go to MRG or Stowe on the $3.50 day. He said, "You don't want to be here for that shitshow."

[ryanmtnman]

Ah, one photo you were not in, and it's a place I have not taken you....yet. Maybe this winter, if it ever comes in earnest.

Doh.... That's me in that picture mang! I actually think from last year. But lets get back there again this year when it fills in some!

It's one of those things...you can go, embrace the shitshow and enjoy, or you can stay away. Any other option will lead to disappointment. Show up early, the limiting factor there is parking.

Also, embracing the shitshow is probably more of a challenge when you're trying to keep all the puzzle pieces going in the right direction.

MRG is $3.50 on 1/28. I've been looking to ski MRG lately - its been way too long. Anyone else planning on that day? If it snow's decent, I'll be playing hookey.

Is this "throwback day" usually a zoo?

done throwback once on a day after a storm. crowded but not terrible. great ski day and vibe.
mlk sunday was terrible (watched webcam); yesterday was country-club perfect. definitely worth doing.


edit: then again i just skiied there nearly bell to bell and never waited for a chair so i may be a bit biased;0]

Just bring your Helping Friendly Book and it will all be cool

I'll be there with my delinquent school skipping son. Risked the $7 and pre-bought the tickets.

Is the soup also discounted, or just lift tickets?

[m2711c]

somebody finally asks the important question..

[Timberridge]

Three pages of assorted questions and comments on this event, and nobody asks this? I'll pm Bluebird if nobody here has an answer.

[Peruvian]

Yup, it was busy.

Cold, and limited run selection, but this wasn't that crowded.

You should have let us know that you were at the MCSB.

If I put a swastika on my snowboard they'll probably let me on being nazi apologists an all.

Not many pics from this weekend. I was solo and sick on Monday, so I didn't want bite off a serious BC tour. Settled for sloppy seconds on Cardigan. Snow was choppy and thin, but soft, and the views were great.

I just might stop in for the soup one day.

[buckethead]

^^ dangur : stayed in the high cabin at cardigan a couple of times...always thought the skiing options - beyond the designated trails - would be good if enough snow (like the 'above tree line' zone and a big waterfall we came across.)

I have heard that the summit snowfields are nice when they are in.

There *appear* to be lots of glade glade shots visible from the various skin tracks and ski trails. One was even sufficiently tempting that I ditched my intended line of descent to try it out... quickly ended up in jail. Oh well. Still, I have to believe there's some tree line out there that goes.

[BigDaddy]

I think you know the answer to that:0) Has been a long, long time since I have attended but even with it being a zoo it was always fun. Lots of locals in woolies with rear entry boots and straight skis. Not much as skiers but those fuckers could DRINK.

Okay, I had to dig back ten years for this, but hopefully someone enjoys it.... throwback Tuesday:

Thought I would add a few pics to this.

Ready to ski!



One custome is clearly not enough



Group pic



Jessie in the air



the maggot steeze was in full affect



Yes he did ski in riding a flamingo



How I am not sure, but the flamingo did not survive the day...



Lots of mags at dinner big and small



There was even a snowsprite sighting



Bucket is very talented



Is the sun setting on the 2009 season??

[retirwntm]

Is that a hamburger or do you have ESS and a skirt to hold them up?

Powder skirt?

I despise MRG, Alta, and Deer Valley for their ban of snowboarders. It's the most archaic discriminating policy in the industry. I'd love to open a mountain and ban skiers. That would be gold. And yeah, as most of you kooks know, I am a skier. The fact I cannot hang with good friends and ride a great hill, two in fact, DV meh, is super annoying.
