"It is a great atmosphere for families. They are dependent on weather which has some pros and cons. Less money spent on snow making keeps prices affordable. You have to be flexible or plan carefully. The mad card will give flexibly. When Mother Nature cooperates, this place is Eden. We go there every year. We try to go a few times each season. "

"There is NO better place to ski if you are an expert skier and love ungroomed trails. The only downsides MRG is highly weather dependent as they make almost no snow and, if the skiing is good, lines are insanely long on the weekends. But this is the best, affordable skiing anywhere in the country when the conditions are good."

"There is so much that is GREAT about this mountain! For starters, kids 12 and under ski free when a parent spends as little as 179 for a Family Mad Card. You must sign up for this deal by Oct. 15, but it's one of the best deals around for kids. The other fantastic thing about Mad River is it's natural snow and terrain. You won't find tons of snow guns or large boulevards of corduroypacked snow. You'll find plenty of trails that are designed and maintained to optimally hold the snow that mother nature delivers. And despite the bumper stickers Ski It If You Can, there is something for everyone here. The mountain couldn't be more kidfriendly. There is only one lodge the basebox and all trails return to the base box. The learning slope with handle rope tow Callie's Tow operates at a speed that any I really mean ANY youngster can handle. Everything at Mad River is priced fairly. And then there are some unbelievable deals. The all time best is Roll Back the Clock Day when prices for lift tickets fall back to the 1948 price of 3.50. If you've never tried Mad River Glen, mark January 27, 2009 on your calendar and GO!"
