Surprised? I'm not. Unless the donor himself does it, it will never get done. It's folly, has nothing to do with the business of the ski area, and looks stupid. I've been skiing Magic for a long time and never noticed those poles until this brilliant idea surfaced.

Now that's positive thinking :thumbdown:

The poles have been there for a long time and flags used to fly on them. The ropes are stuck at the top of the poles and the only way to get to them is probably a bucket truck. If you happen to have one around, I think the mountain would be more than happy to use it.

I noticed that too. I also recognize the California flag and assume the rest are other states. I wonder why they choose them.

Why exactly would i do that? The "mountain" likely could give 2 shits about those flags.

Bucket truck. That's hilarious.

Thanks MMP. You've left a great first impression on me.

And you me. Why not get those poles and flags squared away big shot. As of now you've done nothing but put another thing on the list of things that won't get done, and created another eyesore that someone can look at and say " wtf ? Why is there a Swiss flag almost flying at magic".

Apparently no good deed goes unpunished. I really liked the idea of the flags, and I think that someone who tries to do something positive for a ski area should be applauded.
