Has Magic always run Thurs-Sun or did that only turn up post-reopening?

I believe it started out 7 day, then went to Mon-Fri and when Bromley owned it the current schedule was put in place. Im not 100% sure on that though.Has Magic always run Thurs-Sun or did that only turn up post-reopening?
I agree with your first point.If the Work From Home trend continues as pretty much everyone believes it will it would probably make sense to be open midweek.
Magic probably has some of the least overhead midweek out of any ski area in the region. They do minimal grooming/snowmaking and run 3 lifts. Your average "bump" is gonna spend more $$$ grooming, making snow, and spinning lifts on a random Tuesday mid-season than Magic.
I believe its not a priority but a possibility. Its not owned by Magic anymore but theres still backcountry access. No chairlifts or anything over there anymore so it would be an expensive project.to see the comeback of places like this and berkshire east is awesome. anyone know if there are long term plans to re open the timber ridge side?
Yes don’t think its full on south more south-east but still not optimal, especially in SoVT.it also faces south right? a ton of snowmaking to make that side viable.
There’s definitely some things that can be improved first. It would be nice if Magic eventually offered a van/bus ride back fron Timberside if you went back there though.Especially with the terrain offered over there not being more challenging than what Magic already has and the costs involved, I don't see it being in their best interest in decades. I'd expect to see a chairlift in the beginner area or a more sophisticated terrain park lift before that's even considered.
Meanwhile, back on planet Earth...
