They were closed on the way up and I didn't know they reopened until you just told me lol. Today was my only free day so can't get there tomorrow.
I can relate to your pain...have to go to a funeral tomorrow, a good friend's mother.
At least I can ski some nice packed powder Mon-Wed.

Magic was fantastic today. Took some runs with magic jack, thought I was going to die a couple times, drank some beers, good day. Jack next time you guys are up I’m buying the beers

Did they ever open Black Chair? I checked the webcam a couple times today it looked pretty mellow up there.
Today was a bust for me but it sounds like a pretty good idea for tomorrow. How's the rocks in the woods?
Hit Stratton. Felt like winter again. Good amount of people on the hill. Can't say I was surprised. But based on the lack of traffic on 91 last night and going up 30 this AM, it was somewhat surprising.
We rocked the fixed grips and had mostly ski on lines for the time we were there. Powder bumps, laying trenches on the groomers and a few stashes on the sides of the trails. Maybe we'll do this again tomorrow.

Although crowded, Platty was sick today. Got one of the first chairs up and it was sublime. Despite the crowds lift line was never more than 5 minutes and still was finding some stashes in the woods later in the day. Thank god I for some reason last night had the forethought to pre-purchase my ticket!

Lucky! Yeah, from now on I will always pre purchase tickets and have the confirmation downloaded on my phone before leaving.
Live and learn.

Black was up for a bit but then was down again. I didn’t ski the woods too much but made the mistake of skiing green line, rocks and roots were pretty rough but there was tons of snow. Finally got to meet Geoff so that was cool

If Platty never lost electricity, why were their ticketing machines down?

Sounds like internet/phone was down, not ticketing, so they couldn’t swipe credit cards

Did their ATM run out of money? So if you didnt have cash I guess you needed to drive into Margaritteville (sp) and hit an ATM?

Our atms have a dedicated static line but im sure if phones and internet are out than the static line is as well

Yep no internet or landline phone, so no credit cards or ATM (not sure they have an ATM tho).
Like I said, I will never ever drive for a powder day without prepurchasing again lol.

Sound like a mess...I'm just glad I made it home after 18 hours. Air Canada is a mess..

I spent much less time standing in line than what I was prepared for, so pleasant surprise there. If the place had been any less busy yesterday then I'd be worried about it getting too little business.
Maybe Magic was the Best Place To Be in the Northeast yesterday?
