I am excited about tomorrow.
Any restaurant suggestions? Just looking for good food, nothing fancy.

Stoddards is great for an All-American, small town diner circa 1960s. I feel like Andy of Mayberry is gonna walk in the door with Barney for lunch. Great value, locals all eat here. No dinners. I always go there for breakfast.
New American Grille in the small strip of stores has always been recommended to me, but I never stay in town.
Both right in village center.

We ate at The Perfect Wife, downstairs is fine dining upstairs is pub food. Both are great. Nice atmosphere, too. On route 11 near the Route 7 junction.

Perfect Wife is good but it's 17 miles from Magic. Beside the others mentioned, Jake's in the shopping center has a good selection and the Swiss Inn 5 miles away has a good pub and restaurant.

Pizza stone in Chester.
Four of us went to magic on Saturday 2/05/11. It was the first time for myself & another... and we had an epic day.
I think we did everything but upper magician and upper liftline. Including several runs through the hollows. I am a huge Berkshire East fam, and it was inevitable I would have a good tiime at magic.
We will be back again at least once before the season ends.
Having a wa wa season pass, I can ski groomers pretty much whenever. When we head up north, I don't want to see corduroy for more than a couple of runs, and Magic delivered the goods. Can't believe how steep some stretches of trail were. Loved the overall vibe and how most everyone there ripped. Wish we could Have crashed somewhere nearby and skied Sunday as well.
If you were there, I was wearing a blue patogonia shell, white oakleys, giro helmet, grey pants, on line p90s. Alternating between ripping and farting my way down the hill...

How was the surface today? The snow report set an expectation of well, ugliness. We were going to come up, but bailed.

Reading Matt's report before I got out on the hill had me prepared for the worst but it actually recovered pretty well. Everything they groomed was in excellent shape. The ungroomed on the lower half of the mountain was skiable and fun including some low angle woods and soft bumps in the afternoon on Vertigo but things looked pretty crusty and firm up top.

First time to Magic last Friday was killer, jonesin to go back, of course that was before the ice storm.
What's up with the Black chair? defunct? Does it ever run? Just curious.

I was chatting with a patroller on the lift when I was there...
They are working to rehab it... A bunch of work was done to it over the summer... It needs new counter weights and a state inspection before it can run again.
Hopefully next season it'll be up and running.

How are the conditions looking for Magic this weekend? I'm not worried about the coverage as much as I am about the effect that last weekend's rain will have on the mountain. My girlfriend is still an intermediate skiier, so we may opt for somewhere with more grooming, eventhough we have Magic vouchers we are yet to use.

^ the east side should be almost entirely groomers and is plenty to keep you occupied. Can't report first hand but I would expect conditions on the groomers to be as good or better than other areas more known for their grooming thanks to Magic's trails seeing less traffic.
I'd say the mountain should be in great shape by the weekend. The rain last Sat night crusted it up a bit, but by the end of the day sunday it was skiing much better. Things softened up a bit yesterday & they received some fresh snow today. The east side should be in perfect condition. Some of the bumps on the west side could maybe still be crusty, depending on how much fresh they get between now & then
