Magic 3/2

[2knees]

Met up with Gmcunni and Madroch at magic. Day started out cloudy and eventually turned sunny except for the top 1/3rd. Snow was not too heavy and obviously had been cutup yesterday but coverage was good most everywhere. 2 twilight zones, a green line, all of black line except for black magic, broomstick, hallows, some woods jrmagic showed me last year and a few others thrown in. Great day and great company. Redline was closed, assuming for the comp and we respected that. It was hard riding the lift all day and not going after it but I saw a few people do some unneccesary damage to the lower steeper part. We did cut in from black line twice and hit that, but that's it. When the sun came out, the lower half started to get a bit gooey but I was shot by then so it was probably more me then anything else.

Had to be a bit careful in the woods as i hooked alot of snakes but at least you can go in the woods. Did manage to scare the shit out of myself by dropping an unexpected 5 footer on the east side. I just had no idea it was there and BOOM, flat landing. Oh and Gary and I are much closer after today.... sorry bout the jacket gary.

I have a very short vid i'll put up later. Not much but for those interested in seeing 40 seconds of today, it'll be here.

Today was all about LINES.
i was startled as i walked in the lodge to see a line to buy tickets. By the time i got booted up and ready to go i was 25th in line to buy a pass.

Once on the hill it was more lines-


Green Line

Black Line

Red Line

as for lift lines- NONE.

Today was my first time at Magic and it was great. Glades were pretty thin but it was still awesome and I made it home in one piece. :smile: Such deep powder!

Nice pics and videos. I so wanted to get up there today... The weather report for Saturday just changed, so I might risk going on Sunday.

Good to hear you two hooked up!

When did 2knees get a ski quiver?

 

[Madroch]

Okay- here is vimeo version... when it converts... black line and magician...

 

[Madroch]

I offered to duct tape Gary's jacket... smart man declined...I think the pole is a goner though...

 

[gmcunni]

I broke the code and am ashamed of myself.

Would have made great POV tho.

 

[2knees]

[bvibert]

So pissed I missed this right now! :angry:

Glad you guys got some good skiing in though!

Did any of you run into Woodcore and MTN-FUN?

Just got back from Sugarloaf. Was going to use the rest of the week to rest but when they issued a storm warning of 12"+ I decided I couldn't miss the opportunity. I had some vouchers for Magic and have been dying to go so it was an easy decision. The hill was in good shape. I heard one of the lifties say it was "far from bottomless" my first ride up and that certainly rang true. Hit a rock on Magician and double ejected. Landed on another rock. I was pissed because i knew it was a bad idea to ski it but did anyway. Nonetheless it was an awesome day! Goniff and Talisman were my personal favs but Broomstick to Blackline was good early on too. Skied the bottom of Redline but got yelled at by patrol. Thought it was open, cut in from Blackline, there were no ropes up. Oh well.

Some pics (none of which I am the subject of):
