Great Day for Cape Day at Magic Saturday. Great skiing with jrmagic most of the day and hitching up with Orangegondola, Rusty Groomer and the rest of the Magic crew for a few great runs. Amazing what a few inches of heavy snow can do for you! Met Matt and Jim Sullivan today, hope they’re not too appalled……………….
Great job on the clean-up from the ice storm guys!
Long live Magic! Got there quite a bit this year! Great Season for them from what I saw. Thank You Magic and the Save Magic Team!

I was there on Saturday, without a cape. I got there late but skied from 2:00 to 5:00 & had a great day. Too bad I didn't hook up with the group of Caped Crusaders. I did see a group having a meeting at the top of Green Line late in the afternoon.

The snow was great & the terrain, as always, was terrific. Magic never disappoints.

You still could have won one if ya wanted to :razz: You actually got the better day snow wise but both were awesome.

Believe me, the thought crossed my mind! I have an awesome cape, but I'm determined to use it next year.

By 11:30 am the snow was so creamy smooth all over the top of the mountain. However, those swift winds that started blowing around 1pm refroze some of the west side slopes, parts of wizard :-o and broomstick got kinda scary.

I hit broom sometime late afternoon and thought it was skiing pretty well. Talisman softened up pretty nicely. We had a quick picnic beer on the trail to end the day(and my season) until Roger came down for sweeps. glad to see a lot of AZers made it up.

hey Mad you should have joined us at the top of green.

I'm really bummed out I missed cape day... Still sick this afternoon, I hope I can squeeze out a few more days this season, but my weekends are really tied up until may. Man looked like a lot of fun!

Hey, I was there, too, but without a cape. A fantastic day. It was only my second time there, but I'm a big fan. I'll definitely be back.

You know, I saw a bunch of people standing around the red chair base at one point and overheard them introducing each other using forum names. So I said 'hey are you guys from Alpinezone?' and one just said "No. TGR" and ignored me. Whoever you are, you are sooo cool.

I'm actually happy I need to look this crap up to understand it.

lulz: Often used to denote laughter at someone who is the victim of a prank, or a reason for performing an action. Can be used as a noun — e.g. "do it for the lulz." This variation is often used on the Encyclopedia Dramatica wiki and 4chan image boards. According to a New York Times article about Internet trolling, "lulz means the joy of disrupting another's emotional equilibrium."[

Some of us swing both ways but aren't stuck up about who we are :razz:
