Ken Quackenbush earned the right to ride the very last chair to the summit on the "Old Single" in 2007.
The Mad River Glen community lost one of it's most beloved and influential members when Ken Quackenbush passed away last week. Ken Quackenbush, a man who, as General Manager, not only helped to create the Mountain we love, he was also the glue and that held Mad River Glen together for forty-five years under three owners. Former MRG owner Betsy Pratt’s once said, “Ken is the genius behind Mad River. He designed most of the trails and established the attitude that trails must flow into the contour of the mountain.” The trail Quacky was named in his honor. Ken is survived by his wife Fran and daughter Christie. Details regarding the funeral will be noted here as soon as they become available. Check out some images of Ken Quackenbush.
Thank you Ken for the legacy you left us - Rest in Peace!
