Date(s) Skied: 2/28/08
Resort or Ski Area: Magic
Conditions: Powder/Looser Powder/Chopped Powder/Diced Powder/Cut Powder
Trip Report: I dont really have words for today. Magic was so far off the hook today the phone was lost. Only bad things to happen were getting stuck in both hartford and springfield rush hour in the morning and having to leave at 3 for home duties. Everything else was sublime, for this lowland sloppy seconds hack.
Due to the aftorementioned traffic, i didnt make my planned 9:00 arrival instead i got there somewhere around 10. Got a run in down twilight zone and saw greg and Madskier6 at the base of the red. Twilight was nice but honestly, it was just the tip of the iceberg. Jeff had some new boots and powder boards so we hit wizard over to sorcerer i believe. Sorcerer was some slightly windpack cut powder. awesome fun. no base to be heard. jeff was just freakin floating over and through everything. greg too. meanwhile, back on the bump boards i was flopping around like a gaper out of water. who cares though on a day like today.
After catching up with Bvibert and Allskiing, we hit broomstick to heart of the magician. probably the run of the day. almost untracked. light, not windpacked. just disgusting for me. it was so much fun, each turn just an explosion. then hit black line from above witch. steep and gnarly up there and alot of fun down to black line where it widens. again, just sick steep piles and little ledges to just launch off. After it mellows out, the groomer had layed unreal corduroy. I saw the guys stopped but the groomed was so much fun i couldnt stop. I've never ever had so much fun skiing cordouroy. THis went on and on for a some more runs with goniff, redline. lower redline, magician and some others. The only scratch we found was some on redline in the usual places and some at the top of goniff.
Take my word for it, if you're on the fence about this place, extract the fencepost from your ass and get up there. even tracked up, the snow is really deep and surprisingly light. get it.
Great to meet Matt and his buddy Greg. Great skiers. thanks for taking us down Magician. hadnt skied that one in years. Allskiing, nice to ski with you for essentially the first time. you should really point that car south tomorrow. :smile:
We all took some turns behind the camera.
great day for me. I love magic.

) who said the Magic was in the best shape yet this season.
. Got going at 10:30 and we killed it until 4:15. I was wanting about 2 hours more, but alas. Back to back runs are Redline were sick, but Blackline from the Redline/Witch merge traverse was where it was at. I think we did a solid job introducing the hill to ALLSKIING.
