Skied Magic today from about 9-2 with my daughter. Another fabulous day! I was so grateful to have a fun alternative to the crowds and scraped off boilerplate that awaited me at the big resorts. Talisman was absolutely great...lots of blown in snow, big bumps, a bit of scrape between the bumps and a few briar stalks and a rock here ant there to keep it real! Natural trails on the east side were also pretty fun...anywhere else and the amount of ice would have been disconcerting, but somehow at Magic, with the trails to oneself most of the time, plenty of room to turn, and the loose snow from last night not totally scraped off, an icy trail is just super fun...a chance to practice some technical skills, keep aware while looking for the right line to go through the little piles of loose snow where a turn can be made. Snowmaking trails on the east side had good coverage and much less ice. Considering the weather we've had the skiing was great!
The place was full today. There were lots of racers and their families and plenty of other there sampling the goods. Both lifts ran smoothly all day long and it was great to see a 3 minute line form at both lifts! Lodge was full, lots of people spending lots of money on food, beverage, and merchandise I hope.
One the red chair we saw a hilarious sticker...if the management keeps up the great work they've done over the past two years, maybe this won't be the joke for long....hope we'll be able to enjoy this magical place for a long time to come.

The East Side snowmaking trails were all excellent at least until 2:30, soft and fast not sticky (surprisingly) even the patches of exposed base ice were soft and manageable (that's probably not a good thing huh?). The non-snowmaking trails...:sad:... they've gone to the big mud bog in the sky (or Lot A).
