Full disclosure: I am a shareholder. Mad River Glen is owned by a co-op of approximately 1500 dedicated skiers. Shares are available for $2000 and come with many benefits. A recent campaign raised several million dollars, most of which has been expended in three areas: snowmaking, terrain enhancement, and extensive renovation and infrastructure improvements to the base lodge, and building a new Ski Patrol/Ski School facility. Snow-making was a priority for most shareholders and now intermediate trails below the 2300 elevation can be covered with man-made snow. In the 2019-20 season, all snow-making was completed on Jan 5th. This season, with 25% additional coverage, snow-making was completed by Jan 8. Above the 2300 ft level to the summits (2) of 3600 ft, Mother Nature does a good job. The pandemic posed many challenges for management and staff, but operations began on schedule, Dec 12, 2021. As of Feb 26, 2021, Mad River skiers are enjoying one of the best seasons ever. More information can be found online.
