Freeski Week 12: MRG and weekend details

26 Feb by Ashley Maxfield

Hey Freeskiers!
Hope everyone is having a good break so far! 
Training at MRG tomorrow: we are shooting to get there around 9 am so we can get out on the hill around 9:30-10 am, all depends how long it takes to get tickets and get our bearings. I plan on leaving Jeffersonville around 8am, I’ll swing through Underhill/Jericho/ Richmond on the way if anyone needs a ride or wants to caravan. We will plan on training as a team until 2pm. 

For MRG 3*:
Tickets:  At registration / check in each day, every athlete will be given a voucher for themselves and one spectator voucher.  These vouchers will need to be redeemed at the ticket window in order to purchase tickets.  The price is $70 for athletes and $89 for spectators.Every athlete will get at least 1 spectator ticket but there is a limited number so the MRG event organizer (Ry Young) cannot guarantee more than one per athlete. At the conclusion of the athlete meeting, you can check in with him to see if there are additional spectator vouchers available.  Something to consider if bringing more than 1 spectator on Saturday:  MRG is sold out for Saturday, so obtaining a spectator voucher would be the only way to access the venue that day.  Ry said he has never run out of spectator vouchers before so unless there is an abnormally large number of athletes/spectators coming from other mountains he should have enough to go around.  Again, check in with him after the athlete meeting.  Not sure how the VPs visit to Sugarbush will affect traffic in the area, but something to keep in mind.

Athlete Check in: 7:30-8:30- 3rd floor of the lodge
Athlete meeting: 8:30- 3rd floor
Inspection on Friday: 8:45-9:45 am
First Athlete drop: 10am
Here is the Event Guide and LiveHeats for MRG
As of right now the comp is scheduled for Friday and Saturday with Sunday as a weather day.

Smuggs training for this weekend: 9:30-2pm 
Mountain team and the U12 squad will having training at Smuggs both days no matter what happens at MRG. Any older athletes that aren’t competing at MRG may jump in with any of the groups. 
Saturday Coaches:
If MRG is happening on Saturday, Coaches  at Smuggs will be: Matt, Ethan and Greg
If MRG is not happening on Saturday and they make the call on Friday to move it to Sunday, the coaches will be: Ashley, Grifen, Chandler, Seth, Matt and Ethan
Sunday Coaches:
If MRG happens Saturday, Coaches at Smuggs will be: Ashley, Chandler, Grifen, Asa, Seth, John and Jared
If MRG tries for Saturday but has to move to Sunday during the day, Asa would coach U12 and Greg- mountain (I’m really hoping they don’t do this one).

Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck team! 

-Ashley
