The NEW Magic Mountain

[Hastur]

I spent New Year’s Day at magic. What was open was superb groomed conditions after a couple of inches fell overnight.

they were running the guns on the end of wand hocus pocus kept it from getting slick.

Still having water issues?

Still having water issues?

Not sure what you’re referring to. But the pond, while dented, still has a good amount of water - about as much as it had at its max pre-pond redo. The Blue Gentian pond is also full. And unfortunately the pond will be refilled with this weeks warm up.

Haven’t heard of pipe issues since the issues at the summit a few weeks ago. Snowmaking seemed to go as planned on Magic Carpet “through the woods”(now open), and is ongoing today on Lower Magic Carpet, with “middle” carpet done.

decent coverage on TZ today before it got chewed up

On the naturals, I found the upper mountain, at least until early afternoon, still had cold snow with no melting affect. Lower down it had warmed yesterday and was tougher to ski. The groomers, however, were hero snow all day. I was happily surprised Twilight Zone was open, and even though a challenge, was definitely skiable.

Hoping the immature snow today just helps consolidate a pretty decent base, and that tomorrow night we have a “net gainer”. If so, they are set up for the next storm.

They opened up the west side a bit today. I didn't know about it. It would have too adventurous for me as the overnight was unkind. Tonights storm looks vicious with a freeze up tomorrow. I think I'll fire up the garage woodstove, tune some skis and do other shop work unless I see a miracle in the morning.
