mad river glen

here is a 7-minute video of a ski run from the top of the single chair to the bottom. I was using a handheld camera in my right hand and holding both of my poles in my left hand, so I pretty much took the easiest way down. I was hoping to capture the beauty and the vibe of the place. I think the first half of the video was at least moderately as successful as can be on the groomed trails of MRG. the second half, not so much. 7 minutes.



and, pictures..

view of the mountain from the parking lot. i see lift lines, but where are the trails??
