East Coast Roll Call 23/24_The Guns Are Blowing

[byates1]

I could see an MRG pass in my future. Any other mags ski there regularly?

I had a pass this year but ended up in Taos most of the winter. I'll be there in a couple yrs when I am hanging back east w mom.

I assume you’ve skied Mad before but I think it’s a great spot if you can put in a lot of midweek days. Those lines can get pretty long on weekends. If I lived closer or had more flexibility for m-f i’d give it a nice look for sure

[byates1]

Yeah I'm midweek only. Weekends rest. Ski areas are bonkers weekends.

[byates1]

Bitd it was a skinners paradise pre season. Like 10 of us . Now every run has 30 tracks on it pre opening anytime it snows. Life.

[ex-powderbroker]

yeah. those were good days.

also true at every ski area that has early snow.

Only issue was trying to beat Dickie

December 2011. Plenty of tracks but still a lot of good snow.

Is Dickie Hall still around? Back when I was a knee-dropper he was the guru.

Yep. My son's in the MRG development program so I started getting a pass there a couple years ago.

People love to hate on MRG but between the lack of crowds and terrain, it's pretty goddamn awesome.

Not all of them.
Can’t ski everyday, if you don’t ski weekends.

My thinking exactly. Combine that with higher skill level skiers and MRG is very tempting. 6 day pass is less than epic local pass too.

I haven’t seen Dickie in 7 years, but he must be around somewhere. I think he still does tele clinics.

i got the midweek pass several years including the covid-shortened 19/20. since then i became averse to longer drives.

ironically i made two late season treks to MAD. did a pow day that stretched my usual 2:40 drive time to 4hrs there/6hrs back...and the eclipse that required 6hrs for return trip.

both days received my 'well worth it" rating.

the pow day was possibly my best ski day in several years.

and yes, best to avoid the weekend liftlines. midweek pass is a great deal.

I have never heard anybody talk bad about MRG. Always hear good things about the place.

Not many snowboarder friends, huh?

Got a few boarders in the group, but they also ski. Still would be no reason to hate it on it though. just be pissed that I couldn't experience it if I was a boarder.

[ex-powderbroker]

skiing remains fun

…chair rides in a downpour, meh

I’m thinking of coming over to SoVT to pickup The Kid and go to this. Maybe some Superstar turns on Sunday. Hmmm…

That's going to be a great show. S&L is local to Londonderry and I go to a lot of their shows.

Sadly, I'll be in Louisville for the PGA Championship with my son.

The Londonderry metro area

wai...whaat?
Using the word Metro with Londonderry...?

sumtinz off

hmm?

greater sleepy bucolic...

[MyNameIsAugustWest]

Londonderry has a full service grocery store, a gas station, a bank, a hardware store, a NAPA, and at least 4 sit-down restaurants. In VT, that’s a metro area.

Not stirring the cauldron... but ostensibly, a "Metro" area usually has a subway or train station
