mad river is an awesome place to ski. But is it really the hardest on the east coast?

well, it has like no beginner terrain, but it doesnt necessarily have the hardest terrain (some of the shit at Cannon is pretty tough- same with Stowe)

Mad River sucks. A bunch of pompous assholes. They dont have any good terrain. Forget about the woods! They dont ever let you ski off the trail. No cliffs either.

MRG is the best in the east when the snow is good.

yes, by far the best in-bound terrain in the east.

Yeah you are a fucking retard if you're saying there are no cliffs are or good terrain at Mad River. It's no Big Mountain skiing, neither is it Tuckerman's Ravine... But if you're talking about overall terrain difficulty on a commercialized mountain, its one of the hardest on the east coast, if not the hardest. As far as the cliffs statement, next time you ride up the single char look under the 4th and 5th towers you fucking douche. Someones just jealous cause they ski like an asshole.

wow, you bumped a two year old thread, and called someone out on their opinion of your precious mountain, nicely done

next time you use the searchbar, which is good to do, also take care to look at the date of the thread and ask yourself if its really necessary to bump a two year old thread that has been long since forgotten about, just so you can defend your mountain

smuggs/stowe the notch.....how ever you want to get there is the by far hardest skiing on the east.

inbounds is obviously smuggs becuase they have a triple black diamond. but really no joking. face chutes area aint got shit on the survey line.

sugarbush isn't that technical unless you do what i've done and jump off trail into the trees and i'm not talking bout the marked glades and smugglers technically has the most difficult terrain with the only triple black on the east

if the snow in the east is good; then it's the best in-bounds skiing - hands down, fo' sho'.

if you have fresh snow, too, it's ridic.
