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!
















Nice! That looks like it didn't suck!

Great shots everyone.

On a side note, with the warm weather forecasted for today and tomorrow, what's anyone's best guess on what the cover will be like this Saturday? I want to take my GF to Magic (her maiden voyage) but she's not all that keen on dodging rocks and stumps all day...

We will most likely head up regardless, but just wanted to get a heads up on what I can expect (especially on the natural trails) after the warm up!

Cheers

Coverage shouldn't be a problem on Saurday. It will start out pretty firm on Saturday though as night time temps will be in the low teens so you'll be on the groomers. Hopefully the sun softens it up a little later in the day. If you staying overnight, Sunday looks to be the better of the 2 days with warmer temps.
