    Guess what? There is a such a map. Come to the chamber or go to Clearwater Sports and pick one up for $5 or send me $5 and I will mail you a map. Honest. It is as good a map as we will have for awhile. Swim holes marked, all public trails, topo, call outs for Camels Hump access, etc.
    Is it this map: http://www.mapadventures.com/pr_mad_...alk_ramble.htm ?

    I found that one at Outdoor Gear Exchange in Burlington... don't know of a better one than that.
    No, there is a MUCH better map now. It was issued Fall 2004, but MapAdventures was indeed the producer in conjunction with many local recreation-based organizations. Clearwater or Chamber, $5.
    Silly me... I didn't realize that the map in the link isn't the one I have... pretty sure I have the most updated one, has swimming holes and trails and stuff, though it's called "Mad River Valley: Long Trail Hikes."

    Planning/public comment is nearly finished for Waitsfield sidewalk from School to Irasville.

    I also know that Rt 100 is planned for repaving by the state this summer. Not sure from where to where, but I know it includes the Valley stretch (hope it means Duxbury too). Municipal water/sewer as well as tree planting are all in the queue- the trick being not to tear up the road more times than necessary.

    ....down by Hancock and lower was very well done, in my opinion.

    I split the cell phone part of this thread...

    to its own thread.

    Experience has shown that cell phones will take up a significant amount of space, and I thought we might want to keep this thread going on its own way.

    and I- I took the one less traveled by,


    And that has made all the difference.

    SB/MRG pass combined?

    Why not just add on a limited number of days (say 5 for example) to either an MRG or SB full season pass for a set $ amt -- ie If you pay say $1,029 for early season SB pass that you can upgrade to a "SB+" pass for an additional ($100-150)?? and Vice-Versa -- It would seem to work well both ways -- and then each mts passholders could benefit from a bit of the MRV diversity that it has to offer w/o " disadvantaging either resort.??

    OR how about a similar idea to the SB "Sugarcard" where you can pay a stated amt up front (one time/lifetime) and that entitles you to some stated discount at the other resort MRG or SB for day tix? Say $100 or so for the "MRG/SB Sugarcard" linked to one or the others season pass then 50% off 1 day lift tix at the other resort?

    Good idea, and a win-win for each area, assuming passholders of either wouldn't be walk-up full ticket day pass buying folks otherwise. I will admit do doing just that myself, as I love MRG's pass/lesson programs, but love SB, too.

    I agree it is a good idea. The problem with a split pass is that people would always pay for the cheaper one, no mater where they were skiing. It a limited number of times for the other, it would give people a taste of the other.

    Also be good for the valley, as a whole... which is good for both mountains.
