we tried twice to find the entrance to Disappearing Act but failed. Looks nice in there.

We didn't have the easiest time finding the entrance. Its off of 33 & 1/3 a little ways up from magic carpet. Some good low angle trees. Pretty much just one route down.

Wanted to ski the wardrobe too but opted out because the cover in the hallows was just skiable. Especially after magician took me out.

Hallows had alot of stuff lurking just underneath.

Had to link to a few additional pictures I took...

Looking down Magician...picture doesn't capture the pitch, it's pretty steep.

Looking up Vertigo...completely natural and at a more manageable pitch for YT:

Wish this place wasn't 2+ hours from home, I'd definitely be there more often.

Good choice the wardrobe was even thinner than the hallows. I can't wait to get back to magic when there is a good base.

Up Your Sleeve to Vertigo has become my favorite East Side route. Mystery is a fun one too when the cover is good. It has more of a bowl shape to it. That's one reason that I love this mountain. It has such an amazing variety of interesting terrain for a relatively small hill.

So you guys skied lower mystery? :blink: That must have been fun. It was ravaged by the flooding this year though I never hiked up to look at the damage first hand.

I was also out skiing at Magic on Fantastic Friday!! Hit it from the opening bell until around 3:30 when the legs finally steered me into the Black Line Brew Pub for a few Heady Toppers. As described above the skiing was pretty fantastic although you had to watch it in the woods and on some of the steeper pitches as the cover was not uber deep. I got up ended twice by down trees lurking just below the surface, a small price to pay for fresh turns in the pow!

Pretty good crowd out on the hill for a Friday none the less no lift lines and a solid 20,000 feet of vertical.

Took a few pictures and threw together a short video. I do have more footage but unfortunately not a ton of free time to put it together.

Enjoy!
