Bvibert, thanks for the order. It will go out tomorrow.

Good vid guys. Roark, please take this as a big compliment. Your skiing has improved tremendously since then.

Short sleeves back up, sorry guys.

Logo close up.

For those who don't know it, this is the old logo from the 70's taken from my trail map. Wanted to bring back the old school a bit.

Chair C is no longer there correct? When and why was it removed? That was the chair I got 'certified' for snowboarding on back in the mid-80's. Seems like it was a good learning area on the mountain.

Technically either is D. What I find most interesting about that map is trail 9, Upper Magician, is rated as a square, which seems to be the easiest rating on that map. That trail is now the double black Magian and is no where near being one of the easiest. How could that be??

"C" Green chair is indeed gone & was a great beginner chair. My first turns were there in 1978.

"D" was the old T-bar up Showoff, also gone. Not the current 1/2 installed triple that needs to be scrapped.

Trail ratings were different when that map was made. I've seen the ratings online somewhere but it predates the black diamond, blue square, green circle days.

see www.chairlift.org for any chairlift info. I'm sure you probably knew that but just in case...

spamming again.:-x

I thought that shirt looked like it was from 1991 and you just put "mountain" in the place of "johnson"

Thank you for the amazing testimonial, he was truly one of the greats!

More Magic stoke.

Thanks bvibert, glad you like.

Deadheadskier, there's a very good chance this man "certified" you on the old bunny hill.

My Magic housemate was the first to do so.

I wore my Save Magic Mountain shirt the other day, and also put the sticker that came with it on my car. I never put stickers on my car, it's the only one. :beer:

wore mine the other day. Jake and i had to go out around town for misc errands. I suggested he wear his too, he said NO WAY! NOT COOL!

ran into a friend of my wife who has house @ magic, they loved my shirt and couldn't understand why jake wouldn't wear his at the same time :)
