i skied mad river exclusively for 10 years and had the time of my life. hit it up in park skiing though and got addicted. It's always fun to shred it at MRG though.

I grew up skiing there, an incredible mountain to which I give credit to molding me into the skier I am today.

At MRG it's not just about the 20th or getting up over the ridge and dropping into some EC backcountry. It's about the people there, the environment is incredible. I won't have a pass this year, but I'll definitely try to get up there a few days. Great mountain.

true true max

for me it's about that perfect day, when tower 10 suddenly becomes a playground, the kind of day when new lines are discovered, about watching some of the best skiers in the state drop super sketch ledges, having your friends tell you to do this huge ledge and working up the courage to do it and being super stoked afterwords, about saying whatup to bruce the liftie, about building a sick booter, having ski patrol shut it down, and then pulling out the bamboo next run and hitting it again............................. and looking forward to a sick next season

The people there are the best. everyone is just so cool with everyone else.
Just charging into the woods and taking anything the wilderness gives you is a rush. But almost all of my best days there involve catching a bump and just eating shit in deep snow. just pushing your own skill level i guess..
Or spring days hopping grass an mud and rocks, thats even exciting

i love how in the spring everyone grabs a shovel on the way down to keep it so we can get from top to bottom. just a great spirit

by far the best tree skiing there is, man why bother going into a park when you can spend the day in the woods finding lil patches of pow. By far my fav mountain.
