I had no idea where Magic was until I goggled it today. It is with-in striking distance from my in-laws in Troy, NY. I noticed another set of trails on the opposite side of the mountain. What ski area is that?

So we will be seeing you around holidays? Let us know when you need a break from the in laws!:wink:

I would check in with Matt as the owner helps Magic out quite a bit. Usually if you are polite and wave they don't mind.

The word I heard is that no, he does not. In fact all sorts of vermin go crawlin around in them there woods, teles, atvs, snomachines. that said, a little common courtesy:request & thank you go a long way and keep the relationship smooth.

I've experience wrath before at another undisclosed location. Someone brought back news about this great stash. It went viral (thank you inet) and next thing you know, there were dozens of people showing up, parking all over the place and going into all kinds of places. The owner was pissssssssssssssssssssssed. Word to the wise.

 

[djspookman]

I've talked to the owner about it-basically comes down to this- respect the area, and he will respect you. If not, I wouldn't want to piss that guy off if you know what I mean.

He plows the parking lots over there for snomobilers and others, he's a really great guy for letting us all play over there!!

A little communication goes a long way!

I was talking yesterday to a physician yesterday who was treating a thoroughbred halfbreed for malpractice. The dog suggested that perhaps it was the acid rain in Hasting Nebraska is responsible for the decline in magazine readership on Long Island.

I'm sorry, what was your point?

Well written.

The Fenris Wolf once stalked these woods and made them his homeland. It was captured and chained to a rock one mile under this earth. While in the present day it remains safe to find lines in these woods, the day of Ragnarok should be avoided at all cost.

 

[roark]

Ragnarok?

 

[billski]

Ragnarok?

Indeed. You will need those boards on that day.

It will not be pretty and you will need all the speed you can get :flame:

I have it on good authority this segment was filmed in the Magic Glades.
