Like Basom said Jay is way the hell out there for most of the maggots and given the fact that EC conditions can range anywhere from 12" of fresh snow from the nor'easter that just came up the coast or it could torentially rain or be -60 degrees.
look at the map which shows most of the mountains that are within reach of most of the maggots who tend to cluster towards the bottom of the triangle formed by Burlington, NYC, and Boston. Maine and NH are Whiteface and Gore. I doubt that any of the maggots are going to hang out at Stratton, Okemo, Bretton Woods, Ascutny or Bromley so they don't make the list. Jay has been eliminated from summit contention because of its distance(would be a good mini-mini summit). That leaves us with the following mountains availible for summit hosting duties. Killington, which is eliminated because its to crowded and for every maggot who skis there there are two that want nothing to do with it. Magic, which is eliminated because it doesn't have reliable snow. Pico is an interesting option but gets eliminated because it doesn't have enough terrain. So that pretty much takes care of the southern VT options. Moving on to the north, MRG is eliminated becuase it was the summit site last year. Sugarbush is eliminated because for whatever reason nobody wants to go there. Smugglers Notch is an interesting possiblity but I think the snow is better at other places. Which leaves us with the eventual summit location of STOWE, which is where it will be and nobody will attend because like all EC get togethers everyone will have something better to do because unless we all lock in lodging/packages theres nothing forcing us to go.
edit with an apoligy to all the maggots who unlike me DID show up to last years mini at MRG, I don't know why I typed nobody showed up
I will remember to post first, then smoke crack
