EC Powder!

**Hermitage Skier** · 03-05-2015, 09:49 AM

Have been lurking a little after checking out Epicski and being directed here...any other S. VT powder junkies out there? Saw the EC rollcall thread--a bit much to navigate and seemed like all N. VT/NH people! So starting this one. Typically ski Mt. Snow area--have heard some good things about Magic but not sure if it's worth the trip. Any Okemo regulars around? Would love to make some turns with some 'maggots'! Cheers.

Yo Pinhead.... what up?

They'd never let you in that place, so you're not fooling anyone.

Thanks for starting this thread, it's going to be a valuable resource.
In terms of Magic, it sucks, dude. It's corporate, over developed, over groomed, really flat, the trees aren't skiable at all, and the vibe is all "check out my stock portfolio." They do have valet parking though, so there's that...

Are you being serious? I think they only have two chairlifts and a lodge that's about to fall apart. Maybe Okemo is what you're thinking of? In any case, I don't need more places with valet parking (if they have a good chili bread bowl thing I'll take that, though)!

Thanks, pinhead! I guess this is the Jong ritual?? Why would they not let me into Magic?

Mt. Snow sucks. You should try skiing Stratton some time. It's so much better.

Haha, you mean Mt. Slow sucks. And I've skied Stratton before--no better! LOL.

Can you get a bunch of us in over there? You know,.............@ the Club.

**Timberridge** · 03-05-2015, 10:55 AM

They have cat skiing.

Huntah has a lot of maggots. Just look for the dudes skiing in jeans. Little tradition around here...ski IN JEANS only.

I wonder if this granola will be available at the concert?

The tighter the better. Extra points if you can tuck them inside your boots.

I heard the Hermitage has some gnarly terrain, but maybe kinda pricey?

Ha, maybe! It's my parents place, so I've been doing most of my skiing there this season. Still plenty of soft snow in the woods! But looking to get to some other places before spring sets in too much. Haven't been to Killington for awhile either, and would like to see what MRG is all about, too. But maybe start closer to S. VT...

**Peruvian** · 03-05-2015, 11:46 AM

John Oates is a tele skier out of Aspen. He would probably like The Hermitage.

**RustyGroomer** · 03-05-2015, 12:02 PM

I can get you Magic tickets for $83/Day if you like. In return we pile a dozen or so into the back of my truck & show up @ your place. We'll swing through NH for fireworks first.

**BigDaddy** · 03-05-2015, 12:03 PM

^Nice lodge warming gift idea, fireworks. It looks big enough to shoot them off on the inside, too? Would be so pretty.

Idk RG... The Hermitage sounds exactly like Magic.

(Except for maybe the lame skiing?)

LOL. So you're a Magic skier? I guess it's worth stopping by? I'm stuck at Hermitage on Sunday, but maybe Saturday (but I think I'll get my own lift ticket at that price). A dozen might be too many guests, but I like fireworks!

Slow news day?

**BigDaddy** · 03-05-2015, 12:19 PM

I'm going with "home nursing a man cold":

For $83 at Magic they'll reserve a chair for you. Be sure to specify red or black and ask for Dave.
