A little Magic pruning, anyone?

[billski]

Yippee! A little bird-eee at Magic (ML) says they plan to organize a few work days, late August, Sept and October, to do some selective pruning of trails and glades. He will be making an offer for volunteer assistance. A nice touch; we all win - he gets a little extra labor for gratis, we get to know the mountain up close and personal, and enjoy a nice day on the mtn. I expect to see GSS with his boards....

Definitely in, I'd actually been meaning to send Matt a message about this.

However Sept and Oct are rather busy for me, so earlier is better.

Me too, but Matt says it works better when the leaves are down, and is more productive when the temps are down too.

probably won't make it, but those who go should tempt ullr and prune branches twelve feet up

Are they offering a free lift ticket in exchange for pruning services? I hate to appear selfish but there's got to be something in it for me other than just the satisfaction of helping out my favorite Southern VT ski area. :lol:

I'm might be in for October provided my knee is in good enough shape to handle the hiking. Depends on the date too.

Agreed. But MRG runs the same kind of program & they give volunteer pruners a one day lift ticket for every day worked. Not a big deal - I was just asking.

nothing wrong with that question.


I'd like to do it if for no other reason then to get a better look at some of their tree skiing options. I know they are boundary to boundary but the woods look impenetrable in alot of places. Probably done by design by the locals. :razz:
