Magic Mtn will open for 2010-11!

[RustyGroomer]

Saturday was amazing!!!!! We took the day off of filming thinking it would be a groomer day. The mountain delivered yet again. Last week was all about the trees. This week all about Magic's legendary trails.

Magician from the top was the run of the day. Redline was fantastic as well. Sometimes searching for stashes makes one forget how classic these trails are. Best sleeper day of the year by far.

How did you guys do Sunday/Monday?

Here's the latest from Matt:

Good afternoon Magic skiers and riders, this is Matt with your Thursday, March 10 afternoon snow report.

The week of crazy weather continues as we have picked up 4" of new snow this morning. This snow comes on the heels of an early week rain/ice/snow storm and it has made the mountain look wonderfully white once again. Unfortunately the forecast is in for tonight and tomorrow and there doesn't seem to be much doubt that we are going to pick up a decent amount of the dreaded "R" word through tomorrow. For that reason we are going to suspend operations on Friday and reopen on Saturday morning. From a snow standpoint the mountain is holding up relatively well and we expect a good chunk of the mountain to be open this weekend. We will be getting the grooming team on the mountain as the rain dies down and temps drop late Friday night. All in all, this weekend should feature some great soft turns and mild temps so come on up and enjoy.

The good news is that according to Magic's Facebook page, they officially overtook last years paid skier days. Here's hoping they can stay open longer to crush last year's numbers!

The even better news is that last years numbers were the best they had had since Jim Sullivan took over management of the mountain. This is a great trend and I thank everyone here who has come to the mountain to check it out and for those they told/brought with them:beer::beer::beer:

Magic's latest Facebook status.....

I can't wait for some corn tomorrow.

"snow is holding up pretty darn well. Skiing should be a blast this weekend on soft corn snow and wet granular everywhere. Don't let the weatherman keep you down, come on up to Magic!"

 

[gmcunni]

planning to be there Sunday.

Me either! I missed the first batch last Saturday but I'm ready for round 2

Any idea what they'll be able to open (or what they'll have to keep closed)? Still debating our destinations for this weekend.

I'll be up Saturday. Even though the fine print says you can't use the whole 3-pack of tickets in one day, do they strongly enforce that? (If so, I may have one extra 40$ or best offer ticket for any member of AZ)

 

[orangegondola]

Not sure on the ticket policy, I would check with Matt. This late in the season they may let you slide. Make sure to say hi and grab a few runs with us.

Looking at the weather forecast. Thinking Sunday would be the better day to hit up Magic? Any locals got any opinions on the Saturday/Sunday decision?

 

[rocojerry]

Roco, come skiing, use em.

I'll be there Saturday, +1 (girlfriend has heard me talk it up long enough),
or +2 if I can convince someone else to check it out for their first time!

Thanks Matt.

 

[makimono]

I'll be there Sunday...no oversleeping this time :dunce:

 

[orangegondola]

Weather looks to be shaping up in Magic's favor. Should be a great spring weekend!

 

[RustyGroomer]

Spring hours this weekend! 9-5, love it. Extra hour of sleep in the morning. Extra hour of skiing in the afternoon.

Oh, and its Sunglass Day this weekend all weekend so bring you dumbest, nicest or most dashing sunglasses. You might just become a movie star.
