Just so you know, I really like Magic for this and I'm likely to buy some lift tickets as well because of it. I have aspirations of doing the MRG-SB amateur race and having somewhere to train when the backcountry is dry is key.

Definitely email, there already is a 6" snow report option.

Twitter might actually come in handy; www.twitter.com/skimagicvt and facebook will be updated.
I am looking into text messaging now. I wasn't aware that Plattekill had that option, but will certainly give Lazlo a call.

I'm glad you are in favor of it. The policy has worked out well so far and I hope I am able to continue it. As an FYI, we are hosting a randonee race this year too; http://ussma.org/news/ussma/first-race-dates-2010-announced; March 6th.

The lake is great. Water starting to cool a little bit off the summer highs. Traffic was not too heavy Labor Day weekend and already seeing some people pull boats for the season. We'll be going out until at least mid October. No word if there will be a poker run this year but there will be a big wakeboard event the last weekend in September. If you venture into Byram Cove and see a green bowrider named Bubbles, stop by, introduce yourself and have a drink.:beer:

I think this is great news! Anything that keeps Magic open through the lean years until the financial picture gets better, instead of letting it close for a season, is a great move. I already bought two tickets for this season, but will probably buy the three pack and ski there more. I would think with all the people on here liking the 3-pack deal, we could have an AZ Day there atleast once this season!
Nice, I heard there were some weed growth issues due to low water level early in the year. I guess it is a short season for some.
Byram cove, I make it a point to stop by whenever I am there. My friends boat is at the marina next to the bridge.
I need to catch a hybrid before the season is out. :grin:

Ask Roark how the Magic one was last season:lol:
The guys that showed up for Magic's were animals. If I remember correctly they were doing 30 minute laps and the downhill section on Black Line was not in the best of conditions.

Thanks for the reminder. :-x
No kidding. Jonathan and another were definitely under 30 minutes (and the ascent was up Magic Carpet > Up your sleeve, not the quicker show-off > wand route) and down an interesting black. I would certainly have been lapped if I had gone for a second ascent. I was very happy to get back into the alpine boots that day...
Pass purchased.

Lake Hopatcong is beautiful. I used to have a co-worker who lived there.

This is good news! Glad to hear that Magic will be open next year. Weekend and 6" dump openings make a lot of sense in my book. For weekend warriors like me, it'll be like nothing changed.
I can't say I am as passionate as some of the folks here since I only skied Magic twice last season. But, I like the place and will surely head there this season. I can't afford a share but I got a Save Magic shirt and will probably get one of those $120 cards. Every little bit helps, right?

Yeah it is. I little weedy sometimes, but great none the less.
Are you from Summit, NJ?

Best of luck to Matt and the gang. I am hoping to get back up there with Shaner this season.

Stay in the deeper parts. There are some areas affected by weeds (Liffy Island, River Styx, and any of the shallow back areas). Out in the main areas the water its fine. They did weed havesting this year with a bare bones budget. The best thing that could happen is we have a cold winter and good freeze. I get my boat out from just north of Brady bridge and haven't had any clogged water intakes.

Is Roark going to race again this year? So I have a chance not to be DFL?
I don't really care about the racing side of it - I'd have to be a monster to be competitive with fr+/b4's against dynafits, boots with minimal remaining structure, minimal skins and speed suits. More an excuse to get out and use the stuff since I'm usually too lazy if the lifts are turning. Twas interesting to get exposure to that scene.
