The NEW Magic Mountain

[Old man of the mountain]

No I left before current ownership took over.

best decision I ever made.

living at magic post bankruptcy was to say the least torture.

this season seems to be continuing that tradition

Jay trem my father made the point to me many years ago that he was roped down from the Ursa lift at Stratton the year it was installed after having complained about the condition of magics lifters in the late 90s.
but I’ll tell ya what I’d rather be roped down at Stratton on a brand new lift than catapulted into a ravine on a 50 year old lift that I knew to be unmaintained at that time.

Obvious troll is obvious.


do you have that house on lmc?

that house is sick. probably the premier spot in all of the east coast mountains I have seen.

if you want to sell it send me a pm

Me first, lol

 

[Old man of the mountain]

That was not our house but we’re good friends with the former owner of 50 years.

the place I have now blows that out of the water location wise

Cimarron or Yellowstone club?

maybe moonlight basin if you are struggling.

for what it's worth, when magic was liquidated in the 1990s, the red and black chairs were left there because they were too far gone for resale. how the state allowed that black chair to run again is beyond me.

the two hall two place chairs and the poma three place chair were still in good shape and were sold and are still running today.

Having a vault drive, being from a less prominent manufacturer, and having hard to access towers for removal helped save Red, too.

Old black, yeah, mostly valuable as porch swings and culverts - especially with basically every company that had worked on it out of business.

No. “Too far gone” for Red is a complete mischaracterization. The cost to buy, and more to the point, disassemble Red, and then reinstall, would have been a poor investment vs a new lift for the buyer. Especially at a time where lifts of that length+vertical being installed had much more capacity.

The other lifts were not only newer but much easier to get off Mountian and installed elsewhere.

Not sure the motives of Old Crotchedy Man but since he’s left Magic I suggest he do the same on AZ.

Cancel culture much?

 

[IceEidolon]

If general forum etiquette is cancel culture, sure. Better than 1% of a 5+ year old thread is him or responses to him, and it only took two days.

 

[Newpylong]

Where did these people come from on this thread all of a sudden?

 

[AdironRider]

Maybe when Magic crosses a line from their bullshit just making everything take forever to their bullshit jeopardizing the safety of those who go there, moods change?

Weird concept I know.

 

[Newpylong]

You may be on to something. We're used to folks (like yourself) perusing threads and taking a few random jabs here and there and departing. But it's been a Hugh(e) onslaught.

 

[slatham]

Happy New Year. May Red run, Black run, and COVID run out!

 

[ThatGuy]

Hugh stopped by the Carpet Lift and left a present

 

[Old man of the mountain]

Mornin magicians!

what’s on the agenda today ?

maybe a few “laps on green” in the rain Before retiring to the “BLT“in your grateful dead themed magic merch for a little smug back slapping while noshing on one of “chef Becca’s“ delectable specials ?

 

[ne_skier]

Decided to skip today. I see you are enjoying your AZ account quite a bit, you must really like talking to us. I know I’ve found these forums quite useful myself.

 

[Old man of the mountain]

Actually I’m done. I came in here to voice my concerns in a serious manner and as is always the case with the magic cult apologists my concerns were dismissed.

And I apologize for my little troll above as that minimizes the importance of what I and many others are concerned and disappointed about.

I wish you all a happy new year and most importantly a SAFE one.

Old man out !

 

[Smellytele]

…and with that life moves on.

 

[RH29]

Haven't you already said "Old Man Out" at least twice? Yet you continue to come out and be an antagonistic asshat.
