Thanks Andrew for the good update on MRG for tomorrow.  I hate to miss any
opportunity to get to VT skiing but even for $3.50 the two hour drive and
the few trails don't seem worth it.  I guess I'll hang home and utilize my
season's pass; Whiteface has 42 trails still open and resurfacing with fresh
manmade and grooming constantly.  It's not MRG but it is all paid for and
less likely to damage my skis.  I will get over there somehow, someday but I
really like to appreciate the whole Mt. if I'm going to the effort.   Jim
