5. It is how you get new people there and grow the mountain's popularity.

My family and I have been a part of magic for years now and it saddens me to see the poor management over the past years. It is so obvious to see the issues, but maybe some people are just too close to the situation to "see through the forest".
1. The bar and food makes a fortune, yet if you have to wait 15 minutes or jump up and down for a beer-people walk away frustrated. Open the annex area with a few kegs like you did a few years ago.
2. Utilize the pizza oven and kitchen upstairs- easy and huge profit.
3. No more tables up stairs with people bringing crock pots full of food. They are taking up space from paying customers who want to dine. Let them sit downstairs without taking up primo space for paying customers.
4. The store could be great- sad that it had not been utilized correctly. Bring back Dick and his staff.
5. People skiing with "comp passes" like crazy or no ticket at all. No more freebies!!!
6. Paid Oversight/Management staff should be addressing these issues instead of chatting up friends at the bar.
7. Tell the truth- nothing worse than facebook or website stating tubing is open, we rush to get there- and closed! Just be honest and transparent with issues.
8. None of us want a "corporate" Stratton like atmosphere, but mountains that make money are not lax with supervision and accountability of staff.
What is the annex you speak of? The little bar area near the bathrooms upstairs? I've never seen that open in the 4 yrs I've been visiting Magic.
I agree sometimes it can take a while to get lunch served but I feel the quality and speed both improved this past yr.
Pizza upstairs would be good I agree esp if they already have the oven.
Store probably requires investment up front for inventory which they may not see a return on. I dunno---it does seem like it is very underutilized though.
The dreams of a new beginner area and magic carpet are not happening anytime soon
Looks pretty good to me.RustyGroomer, how are things looking up there? I haven't been up since 1st Volunteer day with you and crew clearing some of the West Side.
Now of all things, check their FB page. Guns on this evening. This is all nothing new. Just the fact Tom put it out there like he did. Magic December panic happens every year. I wouldn't make too much of it.
I don't know exactly & would be foolish to speculate. I'm far from an engineer/lift guy. I DO know they've been working on it regularly. Last I heard was the inspector "took a ride" the other day. The lift was spinning Monday. Crap info I know. Apologies, best I have right now.Black lift issue
