Buggs, bring the Mav by all means. Don't be afraid of the 18cm waist, I ride mine all the time.
I would,however, bring soft gear also if you have it. We've been getting KILLED with powder conditions. Almost too soft for carving at times. Wwhaahhhh! No complaints here, tho-
Lower mountain is always firmer conditions, more snowmaking.
E-mail me before you come out and we'll hook up!
Go Low- Dave
