    Tickets and reservations can be made online for a powder day opening as soon as we know it’s happening (usually the day before opening and the day of the Pow day). Instead of buying at ticket office, you simply buy online and pick up your tickets at the mtn Sent from my iPhone using AlpineZone

    The NEW Magic Mountain

    Act 250 signed off on the project without a filing given the non-invasive nature of it. Pfister is on the Quad project so it will be done by the fall unless something catastrophic happens in testing/inspection. We will be doing the handle tow move and repair of pipe. Separate projects by...

    The NEW Magic Mountain

    It’s a got a few more horses under the hood with the new drive, but to some extent the speed will be regulated by the Tramway authority. Will have an idea once it’s inspected as to the exact speed it will be run at for ongoing operations. Sent from my iPhone using AlpineZone

    The NEW Magic Mountain

    Yeah, wow. Definitely a few sleepless nights on this lift install and a few more gray hairs—not happy at all with how it progressed this fall with concrete contractor and then the GC taking off for two months and not being here getting it moving. We rely on experts to lay out a timetable and...
