New England Mad River Glen - A Trip East

[Tricia]

Mad River Glen has been a place that I've wanted to ski but never did. After I moved to Tahoe I asked the question. .....
Living Tahoe and flying east to ski - Does it make sense? on EpicSki.

This year is the year!
Phil and I talked about things I wanted to do for my 50th Birthday and I had things on my list like...

• Grape Crushing with @SkiNurse @SBrown - ( @Matthew Deem )
• A Cat Trip
• Ski Mad River Glen

We are planning a trip to Stowe for work this winter so we are going to make it happen and celebrate my 50th year of being alive by making a trip to MRG.

Since the cat is out of the bag, it looks like we will be coming east this Spring. The National Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame Ceremonies will be at Stowe in the beginning of April. We wil be extending this trip to take Tricia to Mad River Glen a place that is on her bucket list. We also will be planning some other Pugski events (big and small) so keep the last week of March open. We might need to recruiting some east coast members to help with activities.

50??? Must be a typo!

 

[Philpug]

50??? Must be a typo!

You are right, 49...and 12 months (incase the DIN police are reading).

the last week of March

That's the traditional NE Gathering time frame. As you must know, @KevinF is stuck with ...umm, i mean... honored with organizing that.

I have not skied MRG either, so...

For those that may not be aware: once you reach the age of 50 you are supposed to go up one line on the binding DIN chart. In other words you are now weaker, have less stamina and slower muscle reaction time so you need a lower binding release setting.

I lied to the DIN Police until age 60 and by that time I was more than ready for a lesser DIN number.

Really? It's fun. Humbling, but fun.

We can likely make the cat thing happen on one of your Colorado swings this year.

Tony, YOU humble Mad River Glen, not the other way around.

Hope you guys survive Stowe. Better take the Enforcers and Santa Anas.

Well, if there's snow.

(We had the Kästle Komitee out in force last season, 84s all.)

How have you allowed that to not happen?

Isn't it *amazing* how the human body has a perfect clock that just implodes at age 50?

I know. Reply was a rueful acknowledgement.

Yeah I live in Colorado but I will definitely have to make a trip to the East one of these days to ski MRG, Stowe, maybe others. East Coast skiing doesn't get a lot of love in my neighborhood but those places are legendary and it just seems a shame to let a skiing life go by without checking them out. Hope you have a great trip.
