My friends and I will likely make the trips to Colgate and Union/RPI, but I'm not sure we're gonna do UVM/Dartmouth just because it's a long trip if there's not a lot to do up there (please, somebody prove me wrong, I love to make hockey trips).

[jy3]

well there is skiing. you can test drive a car and get a free pass for some ski areas there

and

or just enjoy dartmouth, go to ben and jerrys factory, go to vt teddy bear factory (dont know if you can actually do these things, will find out . drive around the lake. drink. eat. ::nut::
i have to run. cya at rip/onion/'gate

anyone getting 'gate tix they are usually available game time but you never know. cant beat $5 tix

I'll be at the Dartmouth game. It's only an hour from where I live.  I'll be with two kids in the "family" section (great deal for 4 tix, 4 dogs, 4 sodas...only $40) which is only two sections over from the visitor section.

See ya

Too bad the Cornell-Dartmouth game is the first weekend in Feb. and not the 2nd. Winter Carnival is that weekend, and is always a blast (not quite as big as Homecoming anymore, though, as the Administration has really ruined Winter Carnival).

And I really shouldn't tell you guys this, as I'd get a kick out of people from Ithaca getting shut out at the doors after a 6-hour drive, but I truly do suggest you guys buy your tickets ahead of time for the Dartmouth game. Not to say that you would absolutely get shut-out, but I wouldn't want to risk it. The days of being able to walk into a half empty Thompson Arena are no more, at least this year. The only games I don't think will at least come close to selling out are the RPI/Union games next weekend.

I just bought 5 tix for VT/DC at the Cornell ticket office. It didn't look like there were too many left, so if you're looking for them, I would get them soon.
:-D

I live in Burlington but I spend most of my winter weekends leaving town to go watch Cornell hockey.  But here are some suggestions:

Ben&Jerry's does have factory tours on Saturdays but they don't make ice cream that day so it's not quite as interesting.  You still get free samples.  :-)  Stop by the Cabot Cheese Annex, Lake Champlain Chocolate Store and the Cold Hollow Cider Mill just down the street.  I always plug Dakin Farm, too.  http://www.dakinfarm.com/  Loads of free samples at either of their stores.  The branch store is close UVM.

The VT Teddy Bear tour is okay if you can stand bad puns.  Very, very bad puns.

Tours of local breweries might interest the hockey crowd.  Both Magic Hat and Vermont Pub and Brewery are in the Burlington area.  They have set times for tours but will sometimes add a tour if you call ahead and have enough people.

In addition to downhill skiing, you can go cross-country skiing, sledding, snowshoeing, ice skating or dog-sledding.  You can also rent snowmobiles up in Stowe, although it's a bit expensive.

Church St. Marketplace is in the middle of Burlington.  It's a pedestrian mall like the Commons but loads better.

The movie about the 1980 Olympic team also opens that weekend.  I can post info on local movie theaters if anyone is interested.

Is Bootless & Unhorsed still together?

[Q]Is Bootless & Unhorsed still together?[/Q]

I don't know.  After the demise of The Last Chance Saloon :`(, Bootless and Unhorsed used to play at Reuben James' (a.k.a RJ's) on Friday nights for a couple hours.  Not the same.  I think RJ's has gone hip-hop on the weekends.  No more Irish drinking songs.

[Section A]

I'm planning on going to the games @ Colgate and @ RPI and Union. Is it better to get tickets through the Cornell ticket office or through the schools themselves? What I mean is, if I got tickets through the CU ticket office, are the seats on the side where Cornell attacks twice? Anyone have any idea (since I've never been up to the games at any of those 3 schools)? Thanks :-)
