Upcoming Events

The Mad River Valley Backcountry Coalition (MRVBC) has partnered again with Kel Rossiter of Adventure Spirit to offer a 1-day workshop on backcountry fundamentals. The BC Primer will be an all-day workshop held at the Mad River Glen @ the Cricket Club and on the mountain on Saturday, November 7th. The course topics will help those who are newer to backcountry skiing/riding feel more comfortable going out into the deep woods of our region in search of untracked snow. More experienced skiers/riders will gain useful insights, information, tools, and techniques for exploring mountains further afield.  And all will certainly enjoy meeting and connecting with other BC enthusiasts in our community!

Registration is required, check out mrvbc.org for more information.

The Facilities Committee generally meets the Monday before each monthly Board Meeting at 2:00pm via a conference call. For more information on Facilities Committee meetings contact the chair via email.

With the election behind us and the 2027 legislative session approaching, the Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce will host the Vermont Chamber of Commerce and Vermont Futures Project for a timely conversation about the issues facing Vermont businesses.

The discussion will bring together what the data tells us, what local businesses are experiencing and what policymakers will be considering in Montpelier.

Topics will include:

• Analysis of the election results and incoming Legislature
• Findings from the Vermont Business Climate Survey
• Key policy opportunities and challenges expected during the 2027 session
• Practical ways businesses can engage in the policymaking process

Most importantly, this will be an opportunity for members of the Mad River Valley business community to share what they are seeing and experiencing. The program will include plenty of time for candid discussion, questions and conversation, along with a little time to mingle.

The Co-op’s Board of Trustees meets monthly, except July and August. All Co-op Shareholders are encouraged to attend Board meetings.  Board meetings are open in person or via the Google Meet link below.

Come get fired up for the season at the Big Picture theater with the Mad River Glen Freeski team as we present a regionally exclusive showing of Chris Benchetler’s latest film, “Mountains of the Moon”!

Set to the Grateful Dead’s timeless music, Mountains of the Moon follows artist-skier Chris Benchetler on a surreal nighttime journey through ocean, river, and mountain landscapes, exploring unseen links between sport, life, music, and the living earth.

The night will be full of prizes, raffles, free swag, and opening films, including a few short edits from the team at Blizzard Skis, as well as “Past Due” from Jukebox Films – featuring MRG coaches Adrian Hayden and Will Miemis.

This year, thanks to our team sponsors, we have a ton of great prizes available, including an event-exclusive silent auction and raffle where you can win your choice of Blizzard Skis or Tecnica Boots. While you’ll also have a chance to bid on all of our silent auctions items that are available online, attending the event in person gives you the best chance to win!

All told, this is going to be the preseason event of the year in the Valley – you won’t want to miss it!

Huge thank you to our team sponsors: Blizzard Skis, Tecnica Boots, SkiEssentials, and Mehuron’s Supermarket for helping us make this happen!

December 11, 1948 Mad River Glen opened to the public for the first time, whisking skiers 2000 vertical feet to the summit of Stark Mountain on the Single. The American Steel & Wire Company had installed nearly 600 of these state-of-the-art aerial tramway systems across the country and together with Roland Palmedo brought lift-served skiing to the Mad River Valley.
