Marge's Bottom Bunker Week

Bottom Bunkers

You all missed good skiing, 3/3-6, this week. Mad River got 4" of snow overnight for Tues skiing in the mid-30's. And there was noone on the mountain, did 8 runs. Wed was windy so the double chair wasn't running, but getting off at the mid-station on the single worked out fine. It was another warm day in the mid-30's with freezing rain in the a.m, and snow at the top of the mountain in the afternoon (but rain at the base). But skiing was good even though you got a little wet when you got to the bottom of the mountain. (7 runs)

Thursday was a sunny day in the 20's. The snow was crusty so we skied in the sunny areas and on runs that had been groomed, like the upper antelope...it was very enjoyable. Then in the afternoon the snow got heavier and was a bit of a workout, so I figured I'd had 3 days of good skiing and quit while I was ahead. Left the mountain at 1pm...5 runs...and really tuckered out.

Maybe next time you'll think twice, take a chance and come up...the skiing was really good.
