Wish I was hitting Magic this Saturday and not last Saturday, but I was wondering what was up with all the snowmobile dudes wearing Timber Ridge jackets with a snowboard logo on it?

They're from Timber Ridge, on the backside of Magic.

Can anyone recommend a place(s) to eat dinner in Londonderry? Any pub and breweries?

 

[roark]

In Londonderry - New American Grill is pretty good, decent selection of brews. Down in Chester the pizza stone is good (again, some good brews as well). A little further drive... the Grafton Pub is really good. Dunno about Manchester side, since I live west.

The Mill in Londonderry is good, but very pricey (approx $30/entree). Also MacLaomainn's Pub in Chester has excellent food & great draft beer selection.

That is a good idea.

Can anyone in the area give a guesstimate on snowfall so far?

Best I can find is a spotter in West Wardsboro (pretty close) reporting 3 inches at 7am this morning.

Cape day was great. Good to get back up there and hang out despite not skiing! Great weather, a good crowd, and a good vibe out on the deck all day. Loved it!

would have loved to make some turns with you this year, I hear some nutty things about your skiing, but those backflips over fire, well...........next year for sure.

It's great to see you with your family at Magic, a real man caring for his children so your wife can ski while you're on the DL. Good stuff Heal up fast DJS.

It's the least I could do for her, as my bad timing last year made her miss the entire season due to pregnancy.. whoops!

Yes, we will make turns next year, no more crazy tricks, but jibbing random stuff and popping off cliffs will still happen.

The doc yesterday said "well, you are getting old, and that's why it's taking more time than usual to heal up, so take you time recovering so you can get back to the things you love to do"

While it's a little torturous to go to the mountain and hang out with the kiddies in the lodge, It's worth it, as my 3 year old can't wait for every weekend to happen so she can go ride the red chair and ski Magic! It's a small price to pay, and I am one happy father!!!!!

Last Weekend of the 10-11 Season
We will reopen on Saturday and Sunday for one last weekend of the Season. Warm temps and sunshine should rule the day so come on up for one last chance to enjoy Magic Mountain before we draw the curtain on a great season.

Magic Mountain Ski Area
Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 55.

We couldn't call ourselves skiers if we didn't open with all this snow and forecast like that. It is official, we will be open Saturday from 9am to 5pm and Sunday from 9am to 4pm. Lift tickets will be $25 for everyone. Come one, Come all for the last stand of the 10-11 Season.

Awesome, I figured there was a good chance for Saturday but wasn't expecting Sunday too!
:beer:

 

[BenedictGomez]

I assume they're closing due to lack of financial feasibility, and not due to lack of snow?

Nice! I saw quite a few people on the facebook page asking for Sunday too. Cool of Jim and Matt to oblige! Too bad I can't make it. Hope you all have a blast

Not really- while they do still have plenty of snow right now, by the time the end of next weekend rolls around I'm sure much will have melted off (temps in mid-50's). They had anticipated an April 10 closing date at the beginning of the season - so they're keeping to that schedule. If it happened that there was still lots of snow after that date they'd probably open another weekend, but too much of it will be gone by then.
