The OFFICIAL 2009 EC Maggot Summit: Where?

**snowsprite** · 02-24-2009, 02:43 PM

I'm in for at least the 7th of March, and will likely be bringing my kid. And I'll be bringing my Frannie too as long as he's game!

I haven't skiied at Magic yet this year and definitely looking forward to it. My son is anxious to try some new ski areas and I know he will really love this mtn.

Maybe a mile from the base, $60/night i'm told, free breakfast, pretty clean.

Blue Gentian is another option within walking distance to the lift, don't know the rates there but probably a bit more $$$$.

The Inn @ Magic is real nice & right on the hill as well.

I would love to offer up some space but really can't this far out, i have a feeling our place will be packed that weekend.

The comp is typically down Redline, one run. Style, air, speed, etc. 1st prize more than likely a season pass.

Don't forget that Inn at Magic sleeps four pretty easily, in every room I think. On the travel websites you can get two nights for a little over $200, last time I checked. Nice place, good deal, and you can't really stay closer to the hill (except maybe in a condo).

Think I'll be at Jay for the DH on Saturday, but hopefully Magic on Sunday.

Yeah, it looks like at least one family suite is still available for $179 a night.

**Dexter Rutecki** · 02-26-2009, 08:50 AM

Just checked Expedia just for the hell of it, and looks like you can get some of the suites for $119 a night. Might be worth calling the Inn and asking to book directly--maybe for a little discount. It's a good place to stay (we've stayed there twice).

**jepilot** · 02-26-2009, 09:03 AM

Yeah, I saw that through Amex travel as well.

**Phall** · 02-26-2009, 12:03 PM

I might be out, due to injury, and work sunday, but i may still be in if i can ski then, or if i just want to come down and be drunk.
anyone got floor space?

**snowmonster** · 02-26-2009, 01:42 PM

Car camping allowed or do they throw you off?

**uppernotmaster** · 02-26-2009, 02:03 PM

Back lot car camping totally cool. Just have someone point out where to go.

**snowmonster** · 02-26-2009, 02:44 PM

Thanks, mang.

**jepilot** · 02-27-2009, 12:40 AM

Should we put up a EC Mini Roll Call Thread in the main forum to get a head count?

**uppernotmaster** · 02-27-2009, 10:12 AM

Snowmonster, if you plan on camping Friday night as well, head out to the back lot (to the right when driving toward the mountain) & look for this. camp out near there & nobody should bother you.

It may have been dragged into the woods a bit, but should still be visable.

I will most likely be there with my ten yo daughter Sunday. Looking forward to a Magical experience...

PS- Is there a pig roasting, too?

**Gman** · 02-27-2009, 02:11 PM

Any mags driving up through/near the nyc area and got space for one? I'd be willing to throw down for gas as well as split/share a hotel room with any mags that need a space.

**snowmonster** · 02-27-2009, 03:32 PM

Thanks for the info, uppernotmaster. The backlot it is.

**Phall** · 02-28-2009, 10:31 AM

Should be down late friday night if i make it. drinking all day saturday.

**gravitylover** · 03-02-2009, 08:16 PM

What is the lift ticket price again? I know I saw it in here somewhere.

See y'all on Sunday.

**Bluebird** · 03-03-2009, 07:06 AM

I haven't actually come up with one yet. Give me to the end of the day.

**skiingsamurai** · 03-03-2009, 07:09 AM

i want to ski sat, but dont know if im leaving btown fri night or sat morning

**BestofShow** · 03-03-2009, 08:56 AM

I'll be there saturday for a day tripper. Also will have POV ready to go. Maybe we could get an entire Maggot assualt run swarming down Redline or something. Thoughts?

sounds like a great idea...though as a courtesy, we shouldn't do something like that til after the comp (which starts at 1pm btw).

**dipstik** · 03-03-2009, 10:34 AM

Day trip on Saturday for me. I'll be the guy with the camera.

edit: someone should post a psa in the main forum, I almost missed this thread.
