The NEW Magic Mountain

[KustyTheKlown]

I was at Magic Sunday, what a remarkable difference between two weekends ago. Yay snowmaking team and mother nature for the two prong approach. I hope to get back soon! I spent the morning on my "better" skis and the afternoon on my rock skis! East side lower angle glades were fun. Same can be said for West natural trails.

this weekend was an all rock skis affair, which finally got me the opportunity to drop my dailies off for a tune and base repair

The bottoms of my skis look like a cheese grater after last Saturday. A few inches could be coming down on Saturday to patch up any thin cover spots and keep the steeper stuff (red, green) open.

I noticed the bushes on Upper Magician were pretty tall, do they usually trim those annually or would they just get packed down by the snow? Clearing that run must be akin to rock climbing.

I hear ya Krusty...I was on groomers in the morning, I just need to ski more frequently, I didn't want to go all in after not skiing two weeks. In hind sight I should have brought both skis to the base at the same time and switched before lunch at the truck.

Always rock boards at Magic unless its an all groomer day.

All my skis are rock skis at this point

You all know the saying “You can bring whatever skis you like to Magic, but you always leave with your rock skis.”

"The chair is staying on the cable pretty good today" By the way, that is not easy skiing.

Great day at Magic yesterday, Red ran smoothly all day, ski-on, pretty much everything open, good coverage in the woods.

Saw those goggles in White Kitten today! The trees are a little thin but fun the snow was very nice. It was cold out there.

natural terrain was outstanding today, albeit thin.

Whatever fell today deposited some nice fluff. stopped snowing around lunch. maybe it'll restart for a bit this evening.

Guess today was AlpineZone day at Magic. The natural trails on West side were skiing great albeit thin cover. Also gotta love the pile of skis in front of the sign saying not to leave your skis there.

They need to park a wood chipper next to that sign.

If they didn't need the water for the hill I'd say point a rat at the problem - smooth everything over in an hour or two, easy.

 

[Newpylong]

Or just run the cat over them.

Then toss a few pairs in (old ski rentals that are no longer used of course) would make people think!!

Likely had something to do with the race event. The lodge was packed yet lift lines were short. The racks at the base were just about filled too, I imagine many of the racers (among others) were not skiing for a lot of the day.
The weather seemed pretty weird too. Either the wind picked up or changed direction around noon and it started getting much colder come the afternoon, or so it felt. Ungroomed was good although it was getting pretty thin, rock skis highly recommended (Watch out for roots too, they can take your legs right out from under you). Hopefully snow is in our future
