The NEW Magic Mountain

[Hastur]

You really can't sell someone a "private rental" and then allow others to suddenly ski as well that day. It is no longer a "private" rental at that point.

conversely, you cant promise powder day openings and not be open to the public this Tuesday.

I partially agree. Their wording does not "promise" it and instead says it is simply a possibility (but I think going forward they should just drop this entirely):

"Magic may open for a Powder Day on a Monday- Wednesday if a 6"+ storm hits and we have no Private Mountain Rentals scheduled, totally at our own discretion, and only if we have enough staffing to operate safely and fully."

In all honesty, I would rather they didn’t do powder days. I feel like it’s all people that ski elsewhere and come track up the main mountain before I can get there along with a lot of the other regulars.

if they dropped the powder day openings, and just opened thurs-mon like pico, that would be ideal but I guess it won't work money wise.

I dont think its kosher to advertise powder day openings and not open on powder days

I wonder what percentage of pass holders are actually pissed about being unable to ski there this week. There's an obvious conflict between powder day openings and private rentals and Magic gambled that it wouldn't bite them in the ass from a PR perspective.

How many bites are they actually getting on the pr front from it?

Was at Black Line Tavern Saturday Talked to a guy who worked in marketing for Magic. He said that the mountain rents for $10000.00/day. 1 lift (Red). Price goes up if you want to use Black Told us 1 guy rented it for this Monday back in the fall. Said they would never rent it on a weekend.

BLT is a fun place and love the Magic vibe
