Agreed, my last visit to magic was not ideal (the winter carnival weekend last year) so this should be much better

My last visit basically everything was almost solid ice. I think we did 3 runs then called it quits

Personally I would not at all be against ski areas in general charging a premium for day ticket rates on powder days. I'm sure there are people that disagree. I have a much larger issue with the rates some (or even many) areas charge early season or even late season for limited terrain. Charging more for the best conditions though? It actually makes a lot of sense.

I agree with this wholeheartedly and actually like the policy. Almost every other business has variable pricing schemes based on the product and time of year.

More people want to ski weekends than midweek, so ticket prices are higher on weekends. Those price differences are advertised just about as well as Magic advertises their powder day rate. More people want to ski on a powder day, so ski areas should absolutely charge a higher rate.

i have no issue with the powder pricing going for a thursday. but are you saying that if you show up on a saturday and it snowed 12 inches on Friday night that you would be ok paying more than the window price for "normal weekends" ? i think window rate is $69, so you'd pay, say $100?

what if you buy in advance for a particular day long before knowing the snow would fly the night before you arrive, you pay a premium at the window to get your ticket?

I disagree. If it is a special "discount" day it should remain a special day regardless of snow conditions.

Sugarbush for example has $30 Thursdays at Mt. Ellen. That's the price regardless of snow conditions. Sometimes you luck out and get a storm on a thursday and sometimes you don't. To charge more money rather than honor that special is just obnoxious.

Another example was Mt. Snow's Founder's Day last year (December 2016) where they got a massive snow storm on a day where tickets were $12. Did they raise the price? No.

Also Cannon. Cannon has lots of special days throughout the week for NH residents. The prices don't fluctuate depending on how much powder (or ice!) Cannon has.

And what if Magic gets 5.9inches of snow? Do they round up to 6 to increase the price? Fluctuating prices open a whole new can of worms.

Next wednesday is free because it's valentines day. Now what if we get snow? Is it not free?

I suppose the question for tomorrow is do I bring my 120 wide powder skis or my 100 wide everything else skis. Any insight?

So the price goes up even if you have a "Throwback Card" ??

Think that’s warranted? I’d prefer not to leave a pair sitting on my car all day

All of the discounts you mentioned are not valid on holidays/holiday periods, I believe (most specials like that typically aren't). What is different about treating a powder day the same way as a holiday?
