I never post at SJ, but I take a look about once a week. Seems to be alot of Magic haters over there.


I don't think there are a lot of Magic haters over there. I think it's 1 or 2 noisy ones. I suspect they might be previous employees who were terminated over the summer as part of the improvement program.

I think it's just one...who keeps making new names, and creating lies. Since he has refused to back up any of what he said, I think it's safe to call it complete BS.

i spend too much time on this board already so i dont really feel like digging through sj. But, can anyone give me a vague idea why anyone would have it out for Magic, of all places. I've heard of this happening to them before on snow journal.

Someone who I believe is a former employee that I think was fired by the new management, that has too much time on his hands. He used to use the name Wizard, and probably is the one who's created two new accounts recently to say such things.

What he said has already been proven false.

That's a pretty crappy thing to do. Hopefully none of it is even remotely true and Magic can get through any difficulties.

Didn't SJ have to ban all discussions on Magic in the not too distant past because they got too heated? Or is that something else I'm thinking of?

It was SnowJournal, about a year and a half ago! The treads grew increasing hostile and nasty to the point that the moderators had no choice to suspend all discussion regarding Magic. Things have been relatively calm until the latest flair up, fortunately the good folks at SJ where able to spot and discredit this joker in no time flat!!!

This is well beyond just being obnoxious.

Here is how things work:
:argue::flame::argue: until, :snow: :spread:, then it's :smile::beer::smile:

If you don't like it...find a way to eliminate the non-skiing part of the year.

Cute, but there's a little more than that going on here.
(I mean there).

Someone over at Snowjournal seems to have it out for the new operators of Magic:

Magic Mountain snowmaking pond


Attention VT Skiers


The new operators have enough work ahead of them. This is just low. Make sure we get there and enjoy the goods this season.

I love Magic...I don't need motivation to go there. But...

It's funny that people who have this much time and anger only make me more interested in skiing there. Same goes for Killington this year.
