Hi El -- Great question. I have not been "back east" this season so I'm not in a position to reply in depth, but I hope someone does. MRG is a wonderful but quirky mountain which is prone to icing up...

Bumping this thread for some more off-season discussion. I would still like to see a joint season pass, like Snowbird/Alta, or if not, an expanded "SugarMad Direct Card" that I can use to get on any...
No argument from me.
Hi Hawk
What does "got stung" mean?
Isn't skiing out west always perfect? :)

Regardless of who is right about "our" snowmaking quality (perhaps the truth lies somewhere in the middle), I think "we" are extraordinarily lucky to have an owner who comes on here and discusses...
Hi Chew
I'm just wondering what all the reasons are for switching out SB for Stowe. The VHD certainly is crying out for replacement, but it can't be the only reason...Care to let us know all of...
FWIW, Alta and Snowbird, adjacent to each other but under separate ownership, with differing gestalts (Alta doesn't permit riding...sound familiar?), offer joint passes.
Alta says: "[Joint] Day...
I don't think anybody is proposing "giving" anybody anything. SB season pass holders would have to PAY for additional MRG privileges. How much is the question.
I'm usually pretty averse to online arguments, but I have to say that the naysayers are being too closed-minded, negative and unimaginative.
With respect to season passes, Pcampbell is right....
From MRG's website today:
"To help out MRG skiers through this tough period our good friends next door at Sugarbush are offering all Mad River Season Passholders half price skiing at Mount Ellen...
In the same vein as cmoore's first post, I would like to respectfully suggest that the Bush (and MRG, too, if they wish) expand and clarify the new snow amount and base snow depth information...
Hi Win
How about this "stretch" goal: Obtain favorable comments from uber-tough critics on skimrv message board for early season snow-making efforts?
Best,

Yeah, its not new news, but the headline begs the obvious question...why not more cooperation. When I can buy an Epic pass for $679 and have unlimited access to Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge,...
From Eric's email earlier today:
MRG & Sugarbush - Together at Last!
They said it would never happen but it finally has. Mad River Glen and Sugarbush are working together to bring more skiers...
From Win's email this morning:
"While most of our pass categories are the same as last year, this season we have entered into a new partnership with Mad River Glen and together we are offering a...
Its great to see that SB and MRG will cooperate this winter on passes for college skiers and twenty-somethings. I'm still hopeful that the two areas can find a way to get together and give us a...
From the looks of the webcam this morning, Steins has a new coating of snow...

Great picture of all three areas (LP, ME and MRG) in the Spring with green below and snow on top. Love it!
Looking at the webcam this morning (April 25) the top half of Steins and The Mall are again snow covered....wonder what happened at the top of the mountain...
Do you mean Sunday April 1, Win?
Was there any unfrozen precip on the mtn today (Saturday)? Or did we dodge the bullet?
Just got off the mountain, ending a nice week up here at the Bush.
Today was awesome and makes up for everything!
Thanks to Ullr, Win and the whole mountain staff.

I was coming down Rt 17 from a friend's house up at MRG last night at about 10 pm and took a right on German Flats. Hadn't had a drop to drink and was driving within the speed limit. As I fumbled...
Win -- You and Eric do deserve -- and get -- huge credit for everything you do together, for skiing in the valley, and for the valley in general.
Its just that we could be even better here...
Here's Eric Friedman's (MRG) take on the situation which I picked up on the Alpine Zone website. Sure wish they would figure out a way to do even more together...
Question: Could you please...
