Who won the week in Vermont news and politics? Not nearly as many as those who lost it, according to this week’s diligently researched and poll-tested Scoreboard.

Check ’em out below and leave your additions and subtractions in the comments section:

Winners:

Jerry Dodge — Gov. Peter Shumlin on Wednesday promised to sell East Montpelier’s most famous 16 acres back to his neighbor. Now all Dodge needs is a damn lawyer. Runner-up winners: Reps. Kurt Wright and Patti Komline, who struck just about the right tone in their Wednesday press conference calling on Shumlin to help all the Dodges of Vermont. The Republican reps were wise to mask their political attack as a policy proposal — and to keep the crazies of their party well away from the podium.

Vermont ski slopes — They killed it this year. With 4.5 million skier visits, this was the dankest season since 2001, according to the Vermont Ski Areas Association.

Magic Hat — An armistice has been declared in the war of beers divisible by the number three. In a joint statement issued Thursday, South Burlington-based Magic Hat and Kentucky-based West Sixth indicated they’ve settled their differences, with the latter company retracting a number of hopped-up statements. So who won? As the Burlington Free Press’ Sally Pollak noted, West Sixth appears to have removed a star-like symbol from its logo that was totally wigging out Magic Hat. VICTORY!
