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

The food at the bar is really good! :beer:

apres-ski, any day

Here's my suggestion for a little apres-ski at Magic. It would cost very little. Supplies are free and bear hats optional!

They go big in Japan!

1st time at Magic on Saturday. Had the skis with us hoping to do a half day afternoon but lift was not spinning when we pulled in at about 11:30. Didn't seem likely that it would turn based on some comments from a few folks around so we left.

Nice to see the mtn though! Old school for sure, my kind of place. We'll be back soon as the snow flies.

:-o

ouch, i didn't realize they weren't even open. that really does suck.

at about 2:00 saturday they got it going as I was monitoring facebook updates on my phone and I think it ran all day Sunday and yesterday w/o problem so hopefully just a minor glitch. really hoping for some natural snow before MLK wknd which is when we will be up in VT next looking to finally make some turns at Magic!

They opened on 12/26 with good coverage on trick to Showoff. Saturday morning/early afternoon was a bummer but they turned it late in the day and were open on Sunday and Monday. The skiing on Sunday was phenomenal with soft hero snow top to bottom. The guns were ready to turn on when I left yesterday and we have some good snowmaking temps now so hopefully by next weekend we should have more options available though it would be great if Ullr helped out a bit.

If the red chair was down, why didn't they run the black chair? This sounds like the "old" Magic....

I'd guess the Black Chair may not be ready for prime time yet. I think I read that they were hoping to have it in service around President's Day, Negative Nancy.

The Black Line Brew Pub Bloody Mary's were so good last Sunday, we will have a "Bloody Bar" Sunday morning along with Breakfast Sandwiches served from the 2nd floor windows

IN! :smile:

Should be good, they just got 6" with more to come. Bring your rock skis if you really want to explore.
