It's probably going to be "too cold" on Sunday for my wife. Looks like I don't need to spend most of my day on groomers... Oh darn. ;)

Magic Mountain, located in Londonderry Vermont, has radically expanded their uphill skiing policy. From now on, it appears that skiers and snowboarders who hike the hill will be allowed a second run on the house, essentially a single ride lift ticket free of charge.

Does this mean they are going to start checking for lift tickets now? ;)

It seems to me that it makes more sense to open on Monday instead of Thursday no? You could get more three day weekend skiers that way I would think.

They were doing Mondays for a while. No one ever stayed..................
Switched to Thursdays recently. Thursday is much better for me, especially for $20.00!
Still no-one there.
90% certain I'll be there tomorrow chasing down billski.

IMHO if Mondays and Thursdays are dead they should consider scrapping both but being more flexible about deviating from their 6" at base lodge at 8am to open for a powder day rule.
Seems there has been a lot of folks who would have gone this past Monday had they opened as a 4" powder day or whatever.

What people don't understand is the 6" falling from the sky is the easy part. Getting personnel to work is a bit harder. These "powder days" are sometimes difficult to get a crew.

by golly i sure would like them to open whenever i get a day off. boy, oh boy would that be convenient.

facebook should invent a game like farmville but with ski areas, where all the experts can run their own resort. good times. But not a resort that loses money as part of a conglomeration; a business that makes money, and pays wages and provides benefits, and pays taxes.......

I feel like Billski should ride in on an Ox or something. :)
Uh, duh, I don't get it. Are you thinking I"m a great spiritual leader?

I never specifically asked but I was thinking moving to Thursday tl last year was more about the timing of the Christmas/New Years week so the mountain would stay open from Christmas through the weekend following New Years Day. Perhaps they kept it because they are getting more people showing early than staying for Monday. Reefer is right though, traffic on Mondays was extremely light.

Benefits? Wages? Taxes? I thought we just ski there? What's with all the nonsensical BS?
