99StockGT Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Was reading through the snow playing thread brought to mind to ask who all on here hits the slopes? With my schedule I don't get out as much as I'de like but there will be several opportunities for me to get out this year (I hope). Typically I'm at Snowtrails/Mad River at least once a week in the evening sometimes on the weekends.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverMaker Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Interested. I work in Dublin and sometimes shoot over to Mad River afterwards during the week. Edited December 7, 2013 by ForeverMaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I'm in. Working Saturdays sucks but my buddy and I were just discussing cutting out early one day to hit up Mad River. Also in your reply, specify ski/board/both? I snowboard in Ohio. I ski too, but my gear is in VT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I do both would be in for meeting up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Mostly ski, usually at Mad River. I work 10 minutes from there, so I can go up most evenings after work. Was thinking about heading up for a few hours here in a bit, but have plans tonight so I wont' be there later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99StockGT Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Well sounds like everyone here is a Mad River fan, can definitely make that treck! My shop is on 23 in Powell but I can get to either MR or Snowtrails pretty easily. Most often I keep my board and gear in my truck so an evening trip is pretty simply done after work.

jeffro Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Rode at mad river last night. Excellent conditions for this early in the season. Ryan, why have we not gone yet???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmyluck Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I work with the TAASC group up at Mad River helping with the adaptive ski program (the guys in the cool looking ski chair things). I try to get up there most Saturdays during the season. Can never have too many ski friends. I am a skier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendanB Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I ski, and I'm generally there on Friday nights for Midnight Madness with the college discount, but any weekends work for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForeverMaker Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I don't mind wet/slushy conditions. Better than ice, although wet slopes do tend to TURN to ice later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid 50s and raining all weekend Board tuned up waxed ready to go, snow gear cleaned and not smelling like funk, ice cold 4 Lokos ready for the journey and no where to go...put off the fun for another week I guess.

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I just picked up a board the other day. What's everybody's opinion on seven springs? Is it worth the trip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I was just there earlier this week... holiday pricing has started and only 1/3 the lifts are open. 7 springs has only 800ft of gain where snowshoe has 1600ft, is maybe an hour further drive is equal cost with a much better experience. The only reason I did 7 springs this week was 1. Time constraints 2. They got 3" while I was there. If both were fully open and both were forecasted to get the same amount of snow i'd do snowshoe all day erry day. Other places "worth a drive" could be perfect north and holiday valley.
