This is for those that are centered around the MRV.

How did you get here?

Were you born in the area?

Did you come up to ski and forget where you were supposed to return to?

Was it a plan that finally worked out?

For me, the last two are pretty much it.

I came up skiing. I had only a few summer/fall visits, but have been a member of a ski club for many years. The first year I skied Stowe. Then they removed the single and double and installed the quad. To me it seemed like the feel of the place changed almost immediately.

I came back to Sugarbush. It had great terrain and the people just seemed friendlier.

Sure there are a few sourpusses, but almost always people smile and are friendly.

I started skiing here regularly, based in my ski club in Moretown.

Then, about 7 years ago, I got on the Gatehouse lift with a woman who told me that I should buy her condo. I did as I was told. It was not very big, but was fine as my second home. Each time I would turn off the lights to head back to Mass, I'd feel A friend kept saying it was a matter of time before I stopped going back.

Then, last year, my boss said something to me. It was certainly no worse than many other times, but I guess the time had come. I looked at him with a strange smile, and said, "Tell you what I'm Gonna do".

I quit my job, sold my place in Mass and moved into my place up here. Life doesn't have to suck!




So how about you? How did you get here? Is it a second home?

For those that visit, or are just looking in... What are you waiting for?
