Bill I understand where you are coming from. FWIW I'd say a decnt percentage the video footage comes on the eaier terrain. I can recall footage from Medium, Up Your Sleve, ShowOff, Hocus Pocus, Kinderspiel, Lower Red Line, Carumba, Wand, vertigo and Lower Magic Carpet.

Looks like a fun little hill I did a lot of skiing at a similar place that I bet you know, Prospect Hill in Waltham. High school ski team 3 days a week for a couple seasons.

Bill here's some Magic kid stoke for you from laser & minianimal:

Prospect:
Well, I'm "from away", just a visitor for a couple of decades, so it was before my time. I do know a guy who bushwhacked for something to do one day at lunch.

Now, about the video.
I don't get it. How is this gonna persuade mom and data that their five, seven and nine year olds will have fun here?

We were at Magic on Saturday. Nice day despite less than stellar conditions. Enjoyed riding Red and just checking out the ice covered trees once the sun came out. Just cruised around in the AM, had some lunch and a couple cold ones in the BLBP and then went out and did 3 runs on Wizard-->Talisman once that got groomed out before calling it a day.
Big college race that day so the lodge was pretty busy but they were all on ShowOff all day so Trick and Talisman were fine.
Let's get a few inches all week and then hopefully the wknd storm pans out.

Who's going this Saturday for the big 50th Partay / Retro-Day ?!?

I peeled all the stickers off my pink & powder blue Duret Mad Cow, reset the Gezers for my SX-91's and raided the way back closet for some rad day-glo threads. 8)

Should be a blast. Unfortunately I won't be there until Sunday morning

I've got no day-glo (never had any) and no straight sticks but I'm goin anyway!!

I might actually make it. My "vintage" (early 90s) skis aren't ready for use yet, so no vintage gear or attire for me. I wish I still had my Fischers from the late 80s. Fluorescent pink, purple, yellow on a black background. Wicked ugly but I loved those things.

Bill, Guy is working on a project that I think you will like. I will fix the movie section of the blog when I get a moment. Real work and life have been crazy. Not sure what happened to the thumbnails. Another wordpress mystery.

BTW Guy did not make Ace of Spades, it was his cousin Luc. I think you may find more of what you are looking for here:



The movie below was shot entirely on Trick/Showoff.

for anyone contemplating Magic this weekend there's some deals available. take a look at the email I just received. I will be there Sunday and possibly skiing Monday as well.

Magic Faithful:

It's Magic's 50 Years Celebration this weekend so come on up and enjoy the skiing, the riding and the fun.

On the skiing and riding front, we spent the early part of the week making snow on Magic Carpet through the woods and down to Sunshine Corner and Wand. This will give beginners and intermediates an easier way down that will be groomed out this weekend. The West Side continues to ski well with Wizard down into Talisman groomed and ready-to-go! We also made considerable progress with the Black Lift as it passed it state load test with flying colors as a Triple Capacity Chair! The final state inspection will be within the next 10 days or so for it to be online and ready for the expected February dumps and crowds.
