I have to say 65 degrees with Magic's base was crazy fun on Thursday. I had my kids there for their first visit and they are converts. My wife even had fun on the blues. Totally worth the kids missing a day of pho-school!!

Saturday was pretty much all groomers, only ungroomed open was Enchanted Forest and Pixie Dust, in other words not much at all. It isn't the freeze that's concerning to me, but rather the lack of snow. Apparently warm winds on Friday night took out a lot of their base on ungroomed terrain and you can see the bare spots on Black Line from Rt 11. Really hoping that this storm coming this week as well as anything that might pop up later in the month can open up at least a few ungroomed runs. The day itself was absolutely beautiful however, and I couldn’t help but take some pics

Agreed, the snowpack took a huge hit. Red line was great on Thursday while Friday it was impossible to make down without rock skis. Still beautiful out and a day skiing is better than a day home.

Speaking of Thursday, literally one of the best days ever with ridiculously rippable corn. Everybody there, and there weren't that many, knew it was one to remember. Here's a pic from top of Heart of Magician looking back up at Magician on left and Broomstick on right. That shine ain't ice.

Hello Magic friends, I read the ski report for today.
Is everything that is not open done for the year unless we get a huge gift of snow? OR is it just a glacier?
I have been monitoring from afar and debating a trip out sooner as opposed to later.

Is the Hallows open? I've heard conflicting reports, with the website having said yes last weekend but with signage saying Bailout was closed (Broomstick was roped off as well)

Low Magic elevation no bueno. Stratton got snow up top all day on the webcam, same with Killington. SB reporting 2" up top, someone on k-zone said 2-3" at the peak there. I'm thinking I'll hit Stratton tomorrow and stick to the upper mountain. Rock skis and trees I guess.
At this point it looks like it'll be game over come Friday of next week with a super-soaker. BUT...plenty of time to change and the pieces are there for it to be a monster snowstorm...just need some cold air to come in faster and the storm to shift towards the coast 100 miles.

In SoVt snow levels remained high today. Not sure how high but certainly north of 2,500' - probably 3k+. Tons of (old) natural on ground at 2,300'. Given forecast I think Magic naturals are get 'em this weekend unless we get a late March snow. Snowmaking trails should hold at least until Spring Fling 3/27 if not first weekend of April. I plan to be at Magic on Saturday.

There's a race on talisman on Sunday, Does anyone know how many racers typically show up and if the trail is closed the entire day?

Typical race ends early afternoon. Not sure if this year they have full crowd of racers so maybe earlier.
Magic was surprising fun this afternoon. With the end so near blew off work. Talisman, Sorcerer and Wizard were all groomed. The warmup on Wizard revealed that was just great, totally lovely top to bottom considering the basically shit snow. Grooming artistry. Oddly Sorcerer was better than Talisman. Broomstick was open to Heart of Magician and Black Line. I wasn't going for that today. Should be great this weekend. Weather looks so warm next week .....
