It might seem like a rumor too farfetched to be true, and perhaps it is. It was leaked to us that Redstone Commercial Group, Vermont’s largest commercial property group, might donate Mt. Bolton to the University of Vermont sometime in the future.
We are not clear if this is supposed to be Bolton Valley Resort, the whole mountain, or a combination of the two. (Chances are that this won’t happen anyway.) We don’t have a timetable for this action, and Redstone hasn’t responded to our communications.
In general, Bolton Valley is considered a skiing destination for less experienced people. Compared with Stowe, Bolton has fewer ski lifts, shorter runs, and a lower summit/base elevation.

True to our predictions, UVM Concerts Bureau announced that 2013’s Springfest, headlined by MGMT, will be held outside, this Saturday, on the CBW Green.

In preparation for Friday’s Relay For Life, dozens of glow-stick bags spelt out “HOPE” on the DC green. From their placement, however, no one is able to read it from an aerial view.
Trouble mounts for UVMtv. The media branch is losing all its channels in the dorms after the spring semester and will be accessible only online, confirms former president Max Landerman. The TV station is also being evicted from the Davis Center due to money issues.
The announcement came soon after IRA announced that cable channels will also not be available in the dorms after this semester. Those in the dorms who watch TV will have to find something else to do.
Anonymous asked: Hey little bird, you on facebook? I don't tumble or tweet, the book is my main source of social media. Think you could make a page?
Getting a Facebook page is a subject always under consideration but not likely to happen until Fall 2013 or later. We have some concerns about Facebook’s privacy policy, our anonymity, and we like to stay underground. It would definitely increase outreach, though, which is one of our top priorities going forward. Thanks for the feedback!
Only weeks before the L/L mural is set to be re-painted, somebody spray-painted this monster on top of the fading art.
