[h=1]I can't go but if someone else would like to ski Magic on Friday for $31

Thank you to all our fans who voted Magic #1 in the 2014 "Ski Slope Showdown" competition that fielded 32 of New England's finest resorts and ski areas. Since Magic came out on top of 31 other areas, we thought it only fitting that on Friday January 31st, we would celebrate by offering 31 tickets at $31 at the Magic Store just a click away here.

My wife is new to skiing and I am looking for a good starter mountain. I see there are some decent deals on Liftopia at King Pine for rentals, lift ticket and a lesson for her. Is that a decent place to start?

You probably get better info from us if you post this in a thread that is related or start a new thread. This thread is for cheap skiing and snowboarding related. Also it would help if you give some more information like where you live close to.

You can learn any place and no need to pay top dollar for a mountain you can't ski, so I'm with you. It's all about the instructor. I don't know much about picking an instructor (it's been way too long), but make sure they are experienced with teaching adults from scratch. A magic carpet is a big help too.

I didn't see anything on their website for $25.00 but they offer a Sunday afternoon ticket every Sunday except for holidays for $29.00. They also offer a 4 for $99.00 deal for Sunday afternoons. Both are great deals.
