Nice, yeah I would be down for either... Or both! I just douched my PM box out, so hit me up. If you say the fishing is good, I'd love to check it out for sure! Always exciting to try a new place out and the fact that you already have permission and a boat is awesome- I appreciate the offer and I'd love to take you up on that!

Also- question for the SoVT experts: My parents are looking for a quick getaway for the weekend but I'm a B&B n00b (not really my thing). What's the best recc you've got for a quiet, comfy place that's Vermonty as fuck without being too far?

I like the Bromley View Inn. It's been a few years since I've stayed there but there were dogs in the bar, a wood burning stove in our room, and of course a view of Bromely.

With that said I am sure others have better or more interesting ideas.

Nope, that'll do. They're bringing my nephew up so proximity to the Bromley Tourist Trap is apparently of more importance than I would have assumed otherwise.

Being this is the Magic thread I was going to suggest Dostals.

Its real pretty there but I'll echo if you want to catch fish stay away from Gale Meadows. Not sure what is going on there as it looks like prime largemouth habitat on the stumpy section, but if there's any there they're real grumpy.

My VT neighbor and fest vet swears by the Dairy Brook Inn, but I don't see it on the web.

This maybe?: http://www.londonderryinn.com

^^^seriously cannot recommend L'derry Inn. Unless you have section 8 housing vouchers.

BVI is a good choice or head to the Landgrove Inn.

I was sure you would know and was going to say he should PM you. Arlington Inn any good still?

The Mrs & I stayed at the Arlington Inn for Valentines Day in 01-02ish and it was a nice place. Really good food too. A lot can change in 15 years though.

It's a rural access internet tower. Can see it from my house...not real attractive but the folks that hang in the lodge with a laptop will certainly appreciate it. Not sure what the plan is for the end game. They essentailly dropped tons of 4" rock to make the road up. If they don't bulldoze that, it will take a significant amount of snowmaking to cover the main trail down early sesaon.

I didn't go down to L-derry this weekend but it wasn't done last weekend.

"Cheers on skis" is an understatement, it's a family through & through. I could never expect outsiders to really get it and I understand that angle too.
Magic is so much more, and I can't even put it into words. It truly needs to be lived, not just skied to be fully understood.

Nailed it.

How does it compare to Magic? Apples and Kiwi... Magic makes up for the lack of infrastructure and a well organized administration with the "Cheers" atmosphere. It does own the hangin out on the back porch feel, but if your outside the TGR greater network, this place can feel clicky and your an interloper. Terrain? Magic has it cold; more consistent pitch, lots of variety, and the effort put in by the Illuminati make "hidden door to the left" an option just about anywhere. Just don't expect to find it on your own.

Magic is not cliquey. In fact it's exactly the opposite Big G. I have met people on the red chair and immediately taken them to the goods. That's how I fell in love with the place and just want to pay it forward. Most of the regulars feel the same way.

Ullrfest is a lock though. Everybody up there loves having it and it's fully expected at this point. I get asked about it pretty regularly.

It's never too early to start planning Ullr-fest! I have located the sacrificial skis that I lost track of last year. One will become a shot-ski (if anybody ever gets tired of the fireball luge) and the other will be burned. Lemme know if/when you want to do some work outside of the planned days. I have HT for you.

^^^keep me in the loop with the pseudo workdays too. I've got a weird schedule lately and plenty of stress, hacking away at things with an axe would be nice

I'll add to the group congrats!

Thanks for all the well wishes guy, Magic is a great community. On another front it looks like things are moving forward. I'm not at liberty to discuss much, but I heard that a key milestone was reached which should help the progress.

Tell her about the best uphill policy in the universe. Also, the team is working on the new baby policy as well. Should be equally as awesome.

You're in luck. Ze Ullrfest is planned for 10/17-18.

Pretty jacked up that things are happening at the hill. I can't wait to crack the 'ol knuckles and make some exciting shit happen for this season. If I get these machetes any sharper they're gonna split atoms.
