LEFT • Noah Ranallo, a former member of the Mad River Glen Freeskiing Team, gives the base-area crowd a show while hoping the head of ski patrol, John Ayers, isn’t watching. TOP • Ian Forgays breaks out a pink one-piece for an April afternoon ski. Few things are more fun than stringing together our favorite lines by sending 50-yard patches of grass. BOTTOM • Emily Johnson and Maiana Snow share an apple snack outside the Stark’s Nest, Mad River’s mountaintop shelter, after an April tour. During a good year, it’s possible to ski the mountain until early May, and that season Little Maiana logged more than 100 days on snow. Mad River Glen 045
