Magic Mtn will open for 2010-11!

[RustyGroomer]

Those BRO Models look so sweet I may have to lock down the heels and take em for a spin.

Good luck with that. Dirty freeheeling hippys need not apply. You can ski my Explosiv rock skis from 1993 if you like. :flame:

"You got a pool over there?"

"We have a pond in the back. We have a pool and a pond. The pond would be good for you."

Latest Update.. December 18th can't come soon enough!!

And the Countdown Begins......

Anticipated Opening Day, December 18, is only one month away and the mountain is abuzz with excitement. In less than a week and a half we expect to turn on the snow making system and finally reap the rewards of a summer spent examining, planning, discovering, fixing, fixing, fixing and more fixing of our snow making system. It has been a long haul, but we are confident that we will be able to make more snow faster than any time since reopening. Additionally we will be bringing the West Side trails of Wizard and Talisman, as well as the East Side Trail, Lower Magic Carpet back into the snow making mix. The past month has offered a steady diet of testing and then tidying up any remaining issues with these lines and we are days away from completion. As also reported we spent time on Witch and Black Line this summer, but a test this fall found another couple of breaks which we hope to attack once there is snow on the ground. As most Magic sk iers or riders knows, Witch and Black Line aren't flat and simply getting our equipment to these breaks is no easy task without the help of some snow and a groomer. So let Mother Nature bring on a nice stretch of cold weather and see what this system can do!!

On the groomer front we have been hard at work repairing and prepping our 2005 Piston Bully for another long season and the pieces have all come together to provide a snow ready machine. We have also spent considerable man hours and assets repairing our long dormant 1996 Bombardier and we are happy to report that within the next two weeks the machine will be ready for service. With two operating machines we hope to be able to provide even better skiing services mountain wide during the 2010-2011 season.


With regard to the lifts we have likewise been busy maintaining the Red Chair and repairing the Black Chair to get it back on line. We will once again start the season riding the Red Chair to the summit with an anticipated opening of the Black Chair before the Martin Luther King Holiday. Stay tuned to the Alpine Update for more details as they become available on the Black Chair.

This fall's trail clearing, brush cutting and mowing has been more extensive than ever before and has left us with a great base on which to blow snow as well as wait for Mother Nature to bless us with an abundance of natural snow. Trails like Magician, Red Line and Black Line are primed to ski better than ever with a little help from Mother Nature. This fall's volunteer days have also helped open up some more gladed terrain that we hope the adventurous skier and rider will take full advantage of with some exploring. Magic Mountain offers some of the best terrain in the East and we want to thank all of the volunteers for their hard work and passion for Magic. Your enthusiasm and hard work is what makes Magic so special.


As we prepare for the upcoming season let's not forget about the various ways to ski and ride Magic. First and foremost a Magic season pass offers a great way to access all of Magic's terrain all season long with no black out dates. Adult passes are $439.00, Junior/Senior passes are $389.00 and full-time college students can ski or ride all season for only $129.00. In addition to season passes we offer two great ways to ski and ride all season on discounted lift tickets via the Magic Card and the Magic 3-Pack. On the day ticket front we have many ways to enjoy Magic. For more details on deals for the 2010-2011 season check out the 2010-2011 Deals.


Finally, we continue to offer shares in the Magic Partnership LLC. We are two thirds of our way to reaching our goal of 300 shares and we encourage everyone to invest in Magic's future and become part of a fantastic skier and riders community.

Have a great Thanksgiving Holiday and THINK SNOW!!

Props for not using the word "product" here!

Nope. Unfortunaltely I have work obligations to attend to. There's a chance that no matter what day the mountain opens that I may not get there until the Holiday week:-x My friend Dave will be up there with family. I'm sure you will run across them in the halls if you're there.

A Rousing Swiss Polka

Cool article! I'm assuming that's from the early 60's??

January of 1968 actually.

Dot Birmingham and Walt Pesko wrote a great weekly ski column in the Hartford Courant for a few decades.

 

[orangegondola]

Just in on Facebook, The Burple Bombi Cat is done. That means magic will have 2 working Cats this season! Lookout!

I was wondering what the Purple People Eater post was about.

I was wondering what the Purple People Eater post was about.

It made more sense if you a) knew the old snow cat was purple (I didn't) or b) saw the picture of both cats that someone posted on their wall earlier.

Is anybody here a shareholder? I am thinking about becoming one. Aside from the improvements that are planned if they sell all of the shares I am interested in the other “perks” of being a shareholder. If anyone is a shareholder could you PM me so I can pick your brain? Thanks

There was a thread on here to get an AZ share. Unfortunately we could not get enough people

PM RustyGroomer or orangegondola

I have a share, but they are much more knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the shareholder "perks"

I will add that my ONLY reason for buying the share, the only "perk" i care about is an open Magic. Return on investment is measured in smiles and powder days for me.

Feel free to PM me. The broad answer is that being a shareholder ensures that Magic will become sustainable. Other perks include 1) Discounted pass purchase 2) Once the 300 goal is hit, shareholders will have voting rights in determining the future of the hill, like what improvements to make or what should stay the same.

Shoot me a PM I can speak volumes.

 

[skisox34]

Hey guys new to AZ but you guys might know me from snowjournal. Looking forward to meeting some of you on the hill this year. I worked on a few glades and can't wait to ski them
