First place I checked. But it just says they're open today [2/2] for a pow day. They'd normally be open friday, but I couldnt tell if they'd stay open for the Thursday betweener-day. So the answer's yes you say. That could work for me...

Wow, I saw this thread about magic and monos and figured to post about riding there for years until last year. I have a family home near magic and also monoski. I have ridden there for a long time ago until the place hit the skids.

I own a Look Pintail and a Duret World cup Mono but would really like to check out a Snogunz. I am close to buying one and am interested to see how it works in the East. I also am considering a carving board from Chad at Coda Custom Boards.

It's not often I see monoskiiers, especially on the East coast. I'll be up there most weekends from Presidents Day on! I hope to see some monos there. I am new to the sport, and mostly snowboard at Okemo and Suicide Six. Stratton and Mount Snow are not my thing.

Cheers!

The skidz are over PTV come on back!

I am thinking of going up next weekend for the holiday with my GF. Shes a new snowboarder and I'll ride a board or the Duret Carvin.

Any update on conditions? I am curious how they made out from the storm. I am heading there for a long weekend.

 

[orangegondola]

Was not there but rusty groomer couldn't stop texting me all day about how good it was! I think they got 9" plus.

From my man on the mountain:
no ice, no crust.
9" new at noon today, with compaction. medium-weight snow. Look for a TR soon from bvibert.

That sucks. At least I don't have to feel like a wuss for not going tomorrow.

 

[orangegondola]

They will get it fixed. No safety risk, simply drive train related.

 

[emmaurice2]

Heading up there tomorrow night. Hopefully the lift will be fixed for Friday. If not, any opinions on Bromley? Haven't been there since the early 90s.

Had a GREAT time there today... first ever visit to Magic.

Agree with the report above about the snow.

VERY glad I wasn't on the lift when it broke... We were going to take one more run and got down to the lift and it had stopped... They tried to start it back up and there was a fairly loud clunk as it stopped again...

I hope they can get it fixed quick!

Great day out there today, though!

W,

Glad you liked it, come on back. It is a mechanical issue, not safety related like a grip. It will get fixed. Lifts break down all the time at other resorts.

In the meantime, lets let special ops do their work and watch a magic movie.

I agree they break all the time everywhere... not a big deal... It's just too bad that when the red chair goes down, there really aren't any other options... Hopefully they'll get the black chair online for next season...

I'll be back. don't you worry.

Vermont Snow Wizards

I was in touch today with the Vermont Snow Wizards ski shop at the base of the Magic Mountain Access road. I inquired about demos. Here's the reply. Good stuff.


"We've got a small stable of fat off-piste skis, plus a couple high performance cruisers. We've always tried to match our product offerings to the terrain of our mountain and the vibe of our customers."

Glad to hear it, (Re: the lift at Magic). Really looking forward to skiing Magic for the first time.
