The NEW Magic Mountain

ne_skier said:

Most of the real skiers I've talked to know about Magic and how awesome the terrain is, but their reasoning for never going is always either "aren't they still trying to get that lift in" or (less common as of late) "do they really have snowmaking there yet?" Getting that lift done would be a major boost for them business-wise and for good reason - I like fresh, untracked powder as much as anyone else but I'll sacrifice 1-2 runs of untracked powder for more runs total thanks to drastically shortened liftlines. You get the idea.

Overall warm pattern for next couple of weeks before what looks to be reload into a good pattern. But there may be a late weekend surprise, and maybe some sneaky cold thereafter. It would be a nice payback for 2 mix events - and an mis to the south - during an otherwise favorable pattern these past few weeks.

Low crowds = “off” weekend after MLK, poor weather over MLK, and lack of advance notice that the Mountian would get to 100%. And for the real wimps, which doesn’t (shouldn’t) impact Magic as much - cold.

As far as some arguments here and elsewhere about “do we need black” - for Magics survival, yes. They need to be able to sell more tickets on big days. Full stop. Skis crossed……

Never been there, I really would like to go to MAGIC with both lifts running but Is that even possible this year?

---Magic mountain management comment--
"Black Line Quad work is continuing by Pfister Mtn Services and Green Mountain Controls with lift expected to be completed soon once final drive work and tower safety work can be completed for load testing and inspection."

What kind of timeframe is that for the kind LIFT knowledgeable people out there?? per job, per total job, They list "3" jobs or events in there at least that need to be done.

Don't bother if you're just going to bust balls with no knowledge of the ski area.

should've been 5 years ago... you can see this transpire over the last 150 pages or so I'd imagine.

At this point, anyone that can accurately predict when black will be done should also start picking lottery numbers, you'll be a rich person


Black debacle asside, I would still go to Magic as long as Red is going
