We've nailed down the date - this Monday March 30 - so grab your sunscreen and skins for one last hurrah! We'll pop up the MRVBC tent and fire up the grill to serve up some burgers and dogs - you bring your friends, stories, and stoke. This will be a great chance to hear about all that MRVBC has going on: a new BC zone, a new youth program, our slot at Lawson's as a SIP recipient, and of course all the events and workshops we will serve up again next year. Want to get involved or give feedback to help us shape sustainable human powered winter recreation?? Come on out and hang with us! If you plan to join the group on the uphill tour, please email Keith ([email protected]) for the details. Otherwise just show up in the parking lot starting around 5pm. And a huge shout out to @sugarbush_vt , one of our amazing sponsors who has supported and hosted so many of our events season over season!

This one goes out “To the 5 Boroughs” (and the rest of New York state, we guess). The Mad River Triathlon is happening on April 12, and you’re invited. We’re just 5.5 short hours from NYC, which is just about how long it takes to get from one side of Manhattan to the other during rush hour. For a limited time only, use the code ‘big apple’ for a 15% discount on registration for the Mad River Triathlon.

Our next triathlon sponsor shoutout goes to @madbushfalls !
If you’re traveling from out of town and needing a place to stay for this year’s Triathlon, we hope you’ll consider booking a room at Madbush Falls. Not only does it offer amazing rooms, a fantastic restaurant, and on-site saunas, but it is also the host of our bib pickup on the Saturday before the Triathlon, and an awesome pre-race presentation from Ben Morton about the @riostorivers initiative.
Madbush Falls graciously donates 50% of all proceeds from room rentals for the weekend to the Triathlon, and @savu.sauna will be offering a discounted sauna hour for Triathlon participants after the race!
Thank you @madbushfalls !
Triathlon sponsor shoutout: @sugarbush_vt !
Sugarbush has been an instrumental partner for the triathlon since its inception in 1979! We are thrilled to continue that partnership nearly 50 years later.
In addition to providing the venue for the ski leg and after party at Mount Ellen, Sugarbush assists by managing snowmaking for the route, providing ski patrol and safety assistance, and helping us spread the word.
Thank you Sugarbush!!
