End of the Millenium? NOT. The first millenium started the first day of year 1 and ended
the last day of the year 1000. The second millenium started the first day of the year 1001
and ended the last day of the year 2000. The third millenium will start the first day
of the year 2001 and will end the last day of the year 3000. Oh, I say, I think you’ve got it.
The year that ends with 1 is the beginning of the decade, centennial and millenium.
The year that ends with zero is the end of the decade, centennial and millenium

Mad River Glen is Open MRG opened Friday, December 24th with the Practice Slope Chair,
the Double chair and the Single chair running. 31 of the 44 trails were open. Wednesday,
six to eight inches of snow fell which made for excellent skiing. According to Joe Faranetta,
driving over the gap going home Thursday had to be done very carefully, but, once down the
sun was out and the driving was easy.
