Magic 1/26 - Get on it!

[slatham]

Skied Magic today and it was awesome. The dense snow that fell this week provided an exceptional base. Kinderspiel and Lower Carpet had enough to be groomed and were very carvable (as were all the snowmaking trails). But the real surprise was that the steep terrain was open and skiing very well, with Witch to Gonif and Twightligh Zone exceptional. When I took my first couple of turns into Twilight i literally and uncontrollably said out loud "No fucking way!" It was that good, and that much a surprise. The next run was Gonif, where the same utterance was made. Also skied Tali and Sorcerer, and many of the other steps are also open. Finished it off with a great dinner with the Magic crew (JM, Do Work, Baby Guinness etc) while big fat flakes fell outside (1/2" or so when I left).

Bottom line- the best expert terrain in SoVT is open and skiing beautifully, with some added snow to come too hopefully.

To those who want to ski Magic with solid coverage it is time to get on it!

Goniff glades looked pretty flat - never seen that before. Bet that did ski nice.

If you mean not steep, it's the picture. That's one of the steepest trails I SoVT. If you meant the lack of moguls, spot on. It has not been skied much so you can choose your line.

did you poke around in any woods?

No mostly because I was having too much fun in newly opened trails - trails I haven't skied in almost 2 years. But the base is there. In fact due to the sleet/heavy snow content there's a good base in the evergreen glades as well. But the base needs to be skied (or snowed on).

Flat as in no bumps. A favorite trail at Magic for my wife and I. Certainly steep!

Smooooth is the proper description. Hardly ever see them like that. So much coverage in there. Good report slathom.

I'm going to Stratton next weekend - Is Magic worth a ride over for a day?

If "gnar" is really your thing spend both days at Magic, you will be amazed. True gnar seekers don't go to Stratton.

Ha I like the sound of that - I'm working off a max pass but I'll see what I can do.
