Thanks for the article.

<<These improvements include a massive expansion and modernization of the snowmaking system, quadrupling the size of the current snowmaking pond, completing the Green Chair lift and cutting and thinning of trees to increase gladed terrain and widen trails to their former width.

Whats the green lift?? (The little double beginner lift?)?? How about getting the black lift running?

Anything involving widening trails scares me....

Overall sounds good!!!!!

The green chair is on the left side (looking up from the base). Would serve beginner/intermed terrain.

They only run the black chair on very busy weekends. It's redundant with the red chair running.

plus its kind of a bitch to get over to redline/goniff/twilight zone off the black chair. its a bit of an uphill skate.

Think there were a few days this season they ran the black chair instead of the red.

Wow, that statement about widening trails has really caused a stir. To put your minds at ease, Magic will only be cutting/clearing brush on the sides of the current trails to restore them to their original widths. If you have skied there you might have noticed saplings on the sides of the trails reaching into the trails. We will simply be removing the new growth. This aspect of maintenance has been lacking in recent years.

Hi, do you have any plans to put in a high-speed quad? You really need one. :)
