Very sad news. Hate hearing about these incidents no matter where they are.

So sad. I understand the incident didn’t involve a skier/snowboarder, but still so sad.

Seems very clear to me Magic can't pay their bills.
Seems nick missed a few bills too!

The back of magic is an “abandoned” ski area, so yes. But I read this was a snowshoer and a likely cardiac episode

On my first visit to Magic, I accidentally took the abandoned connector trail halfway over to Timber Ridge, dodged a few snowmobiles, and then went back to Magic via a second connector trail going in the opposite direction. Posted a map earlier in this thread (post 526). They have some signage up there now warning people not to go that way

The NEW Magic Mountain
I sat in a Gondi last weekend at Stratton and someone said "I wish Stratton was more challenging..." So I said to him, have you tried Magic Mountain? He said that he never heard of it... It is amazing how many people get locked in a bubble and don't think about exploring other mountains or let...

I didn't - but east side only 4-5'' over refrozen - couldn't have been much of a day. It was odd to me that they even opened tbh given the powder day rules.

it'll be a good day. low crowds. maybe they open back up tali/sorcerer. probably just need to make snow on lower wiz. should have the opportunity by Sat.
I've skied their three days in my life. Think I've done one run on the east side. Looking forward to checking that side out.
Sunshine corner is a bar? Is that open this year?

T-Bar in winter near the bottom of the Green Chair. I'll be there for lunch and non-dry February on Saturday!

The unfortunate fatality was someone snowshoeing up the designated uphill trail on a post ski day group outing. Very sad.
Regarding yesterday, the forecast was for 6-8” of snow which meets the powder day criteria. They had to make the call on Saturday to both staff the mountain and get a decent crowd - they couldn’t wait until Monday morning.
I think they have plenty of base they just need the new snow to get worked in properly. They ended up opening Twilight Zone and Goniff, so enough snow for steeps. They are also making snow again to get more groomers with good base opened. I would guess lower Wand into Hocus Pocus, and then either Tick and/or Carumba.
Sunshine Corner bar is usually a spring skiing activity, with the T Bar (with fire pit) for winter.
