Skied Magic Saturday for the last time this season. Perfect weather, soft snow, (no walking) amazing time with great friends. Rope finally dropped on Magician

Slednecks abound...

Nice! Adventure skiing down Magician!
Look fwd to reading about plans for summer improvements and how they plan to allocate any profits realized from this season.

Those snowmobiles remind me of vultures gathering to pick the remains of a dying ski season. :uzi:

Here’s a close-up to show just how “in” Magician was. Our route was up Show-off to Magic Carpet, over the top to Magician. Down to Broomstick. Boot pack up Broomstick to Talisman. Only walking was a quick one up Broomstick. Really fun day. I’d bet Talisman is still plenty skiable. Joking I told the crew they made too much snow on it.

It's about time they dropped the rope on it. Looks very skiable!

What's funny is they made the effort to drop the rope after the mountain closed? Maybe with no rope was I supposed to NOT ski it? Reverse phycology mind games? Does a rope mean "go for it, just don't get tangled?" Magic crew always one step ahead of me I guess.

I thought you were kidding. Someone must have a sense of humor or just need some rope.

Nope, it was dropped. I'm still working on figuring this strategic plan out. Must be the moon or something.

Maybe they figured that skiers wouldn't have to worry about hidden obstacles anymore?

Or, like you said. They just needed some rope.

OK so why was the rope up on it when I was there on March 15? Thought there was more snow on it then...

Here's a few more. Looking up Magician...

sleds & Talisman from the deck. So much snow on Tali.

Filthy Still...

See you next year my old friend.

This is what I prefer to think as I'm ducking the rope.

well whatever the case may be. I'm pretty sure I was the only skier to hit it when it was "open" this season.
