Hi everyone. I found this site while searching for info on Magic after skiing there last week. I probably spent the next three days going through posts and video and loved everything I saw/read. Well developed site with an enthusiastic but laid back group.

About myself..I'd say I'm an advanced intermediate. I'll ski just about anything except double d's. It's not always pretty in a mogul field, one thing I'd like to improve on. I've spent most of my season this year just getting my ski legs back (former life as CPA left little time in past 10 years for skiing). I'm embarrassed to say I don't even own shaped skis. Done most of my skiing this year in the last month and a 1/2. But I have to say I have the skiing bug again.

Other than that, grew up in Harwinton, CT, skiied school vacations at a different vermont area each year, mohawk and other berkshire resorts on occasional weekends . Been in RI the past 15 years and now work as a LMT. Here living this season working at Castle Hill in Ludlow. Spent the hard core winter between Christmas and Feb break working and on snowshoes. Now that things are slowing down, I've been on skis lately. Hubby's back is out so I'm mostly out there by myself.

Ok, that's it in a nutshell.

Oh, yea. Riding the lift a Magic brought back a childhood memory for me. For a few winters, we skied with friends of the family. I can still remember their young son saying to his dad, are you trying to kill me (he was probably 8 at the time) on the lift ride. After riding the red lift the other day and seeing all the boulders on the line, I understand what he was talking about.

ok, must go and check the weather report. I heard we may get some snow here tonite/tomorrow.

Welcome magicbus! I grew up in neighboring Burlington, CT.

magicbus · Mar 27, 2008, 9:21 PM

thanks for the welcomes.

So, bvibert, har-bur would mean something to you? The last time I was there, was about 8 yrs ago, we drove down rte 8 coming back from skiing stratton. I was shocked how much I remember, used to fish at colebrook, etc. Even remembered the back roads off rte 8 to get into harwinton.

do they still sled at besse park?

hoping for snow tonite. I skied magic last monday, 3-17, and if it wasn't groomed, it was solid. there website said there has been some softening, so i'm hoping.

severine · Mar 27, 2008, 9:24 PM

You wouldn't recognize Har Bur these days. MAJOR renovation and additions. Sledding still goes on at Besse Park in Torrington, though they cut off the top of the larger hill.

Welcome!

Yup, Har-Bur Middle School means something to me, lots of memories there and at Lewis S. Mills HS. I actually technically lived in Harwinton for my senior year of HS and had lots of friends from there.
