    The NEW Magic Mountain

    yup, makes sense to me. Working when visibility is good, before clouds roll in. They were making 5 minute round trips before; impressive!

    Smuggs Off Map

    Yup, there's a LOT of stuff off map there. More off than on; I grew up there. Will not share on the net though, as most people won't either. More of a show and go thing. Be careful though, there are many woods runs that require mandatory drops or sketchy ways out! :)

    The NEW Magic Mountain

    Yup. I'll be there. Cold and wet makes me work faster and eat a ton to stay warm. Otherwise hypothermia sets in if you slow too much :) Stopped in at the mtn last night, its looking GREAT thanks to the ops crew!!

    Hey Vail, Please Don't Buy Smugglers Notch Resort (or, Houston, We Have A Stalker)

    They used to be connected via Snuffys to/from trail 20 years ago. They groomed a trail across Sterling pond from the Smuggs side, then groomed the narrow trail from the top of the old big spruce chair from Stowe for the way to Smuggs.

    Vail to buy Stowe?

    Trail from Smuggs side to Stowe (spruce peak) was called Snuffy's to Stowe. Went across the pond, due south off the top of Sterling to the little depression shown in your map.

    Meathead vides

    yah.. ditto. Feature films are great, I buy them, enjoy them. The shorts are good lunchbreak material but that's all. Everyone has a youtube page and can do short clips.

    Big Burke announcement

    Just means I'll have to find another campground for mountain bikers in the area... which is ok, as Qballs' rates for the campground keep going up every year with no added services (besides the fact that they are the closest campground to the trails) Oh, and we've been doing this for 11 years...

    Big Burke announcement

    Well.. I haven't been able to book my campsite up at the mtns campground for our annual guys bike weekend/ bike trip up there yet. I've been trying to get through for weeks with no luck. Phone nor email. Ugh. I'm losing hope for summer operations by the minute.
