Are there abandoned lift towers with sheave trains still on them?

This would've been a bit funny two or three years ago

So I was at Magic yesterday and a DART helicopter landed in the parking lot around 4 and they were transporting someone out. Anyone know anything.

Magic will not be open tomorrow. Some effort to open next weekend but, to me, the weather looks just horrible for that.

I skied Friday, super thin on many trails, but great spring skiing. Up Your Sleeve was lotsa fun on a narrow ribbon along the tree line if you like that sorta thing. If they really want to open for another day (and Jeff wants to make April) I think there's enough to farm to get Showoff from Green at a bare minimum. Probably a route from the top (trick is deep) as well. Tali has lots of snow, but the run in and out are questionable. Maybe with walking?

I was there Saturday skiing was fun, riding the lift was not. There's still plenty of coverage on most snowmaking trails. The snow was crusty up top and corn down lower. There was only about 10 people there yesterday

I was one of the 10 or so. Fun day, agree on lift riding not being fun due to the liquid precipitation. Any day in skis is good for me! Wish I could get there this weekend but Friday and Saturday the job has me stuck in flat-land.

Wasnt so much the rain for me, more the fog. Hard to really get comfortable when you can't tell if there's an ice chunk/dirt patch 20 feet in front of you. Crazier weather Sunday morning - no power in Peru, incredibly thick fog and a quarter inch of ice on my car
