I'm really looking forward to skiing Magic as often as I can this season. Great skiing for everyone, friendly and fun vibe. Plus, I want to see my chair.

Gnomes are about

The gnomes have informed me that they will be out and about at Magic this year. If you find one and you're good to him, you'll be in for a streak of good luck!

They will be roaming about the property, mostly when billski is in town, but maybe other times as well. They are know to troll through the woods, dance on snowmaking valves, warm up in the lifties shack, nibble a bit behind the grille, hand out lift tickets and make change at the store. They also assist in counting pennies at the bar. While these are the last reports of gnome activity, police cannot be certain where they will strike next.

It is said that a gnome's favorite snack is a tic tac. So be prepared, keep a sharp eye and what ever you do, don't step on a gnome!

The gnomes have arrived and are setting up housekeeping in my boot bag. They are already planning their first trip to Magic. They plan to take lots of pictures, audition for movies, and hide away where almost no one will find them. One of them was muttering something about a handle and a tow :confused: The second has his eyes set on colored ice, whatever that means :confused: The third one was talking on befriending a "snow snake". I didn't think snakes could survive the snow but I guess gnomes know things we don't.
The fourth one, well, he ain't talking...

:spin:

Below is the official Wanted photograph.

BTW, Gnomes are known to bring good luck. Boy, we sure need that right about now.
But DON'T cross a gnome or steal him away. It will bring you two years of bad luck and P.O. a lot of people.

Daily Tickets Now Online at the New Magic Store

I don;t think I have seen this posted here yet. Yet another way to save for those looking to give Magic a shot.



For the first-time, you can now buy tickets in advance for any day online at the Magic website http://store.magicmtn.com/
When you buy online, you can save at least 6% off ticket window prices. Plus we've added some special limited quantity offerings of tickets during the season at 20%-25% off. These will not last long as there are only a few at these deep discounts and even the regular 6% off tickets are not unlimited. We hope Magic skiers and their friends will find this a convenient way to save.

While most other ski areas will be charging holiday rates this coming week for limited terrain Magic posted this on their website.

"Because the skiing will be limited and variable, we will suspend holiday pricing during mid-week and go to our low Monday/Friday regular season rates."

Thinking of heading to Magic for my 1st time on Saturday. Anyone give some insight as to whether a 2nd route from the top may open by then? Or are we looking at the 1 option until we get some help from above?

Not sure we'll have a second way down by tomorrow. Currently they are blowing in the tube park and beginner area with hopes of having it open tomorrow and from my window I'd say the chances look good. We really took a LOT of R@#$ the other day. The one option down is actaully in very good shape thanks to the mountain ops team. Once the beginner area is open they can start thinking towards trail expansion.

Nice, well lets hope the nastyness in the forecast holds off and we get some of the good stuff tonight and tomorrow to refresh things a bit.

hows the food in the pub like? We'll probably do some turns then grab lunch at the mtn
