Kind of surprised there is not already a thread on the MRA on here.
I've been watching them for the past year or so, and it sounds like they have some interesting ideas and objectives. They plan to build minimalist ski areas with only essential infrastructure such as minimal buildings, surface lifts, and renewable local energy. They partnered with Mt Abram this past summer and plan to redevelop a ski area in Alaska. Their pilot project is Manitoba Mountain on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. The final project would include several surface lifts offering pretty gnarly skiing out the gate and closer access to some incredible backcountry.
Personally I would be stoked for ski areas like this, it is becoming very expensive to ski, and it can be very frustrating to see the ways some ski areas spend on projects that don't enhance your ski experience. I haven't really seen much discussion on the MRA, and not much controversy on it either.
