I awoke to an inch or two of gloppy, wet snow in Putney, foggy, low clouds, and a weather forecast that called for a chance of drizzle at Magic throughout the day. I almost bagged the idea of skiing, but finally my good sense took over and I figured that for the Throwback Thursday price of $15 a person, what was there to lose by taking my kids over to check out the scene at Magic.
I made the right decision! It was my 2nd time there and my kids' first visit. We were all blown away by the amazing terrain! I'd guess there was 6 inches of fresh up top...definitely not what anyone would describe as powder...really wet heavy snow. It made you work to get the skis to turn quickly, but it was perfect for sticking to the hardback that lay underneath the fresh.
We began with a trip down Broomstick, at the bottom of which my son declared it the best riding day of the year! Next we moved on to Sorcerer...pretty steep, we'll formed bumps, with the great coating of soft snow to keep it fun! Goniff Glades, Witch to black, broomstick to magician....on and on....amazing day!
