What JR said. It's a really fun weekend for sure. Keep in touch Xwhaler. We'll take a few runs with the fiancée while the wife watches the kids. :wink: MMW, even if they have the capability to blow, I doubt they will. No real need.

Well I don't know about that. Although I can understand why they wouldn't want to blow snow on Black Line but trails like Wizard could definitely use some love. Hopefully this storm will provide a little bump.

With the limited traffic Wizard gets, a few inches here & there & some grooming should take care of it. NOT saying a few spots couldn't use a little. Just not economical to send out a crew. One good snowfall away!

How busy does Winterfest get? Noticed its on the same Sat as the Black Magic Extreme Challenge.
I'll be there w/ my wife, brother in law,fiancee
My wife and I will be taking turns skiing and watching our son in the lodge/BLT.
Guessing Black Chair will be busy as people want to watch the comp so hopefully they get Red going as well.

I assume Winterfest is a good time? Never been

It'll be busy but 'busy' by Magic standards. Which is to say it won't really feel busy. Black Line Tavern may get crowded, especially starting 3ish, but you can always find some space away & around the corner from the bar. Winterfest is an awesome weekend @ Magic for sure! Just a great, positive vibe all around the mountain. And yes, if Red is going, lift lines will be pretty close to non-existent even though it'll be 'crowded.'

Sweet pictures Rusty!

So are you and Mrs Farlep making an appearance for Winter fest?

RG - great pictures. Are you affiliated with the mountain? I noticed that your second picture (beautiful shot!) is part of their scrolling photos currently on the front page of the website. Either way, nice work!

Nope, Abominable. I have no affiliation with the mountain. Just been skiing Magic for a long time & know management well. I sent them that pic. Thanks for the compliment, that was a cold shot. Hope to see some of you this weekend! Say hello.

I think it's great that your wife and your fiancee get along well enough to ski together. :smile:
That's what I said!! You said it better though. :) Once again, say hello. Fun to make some turns with some AZer's.

LOL....I meant to say I will be there with my wife, her brother and her brother's fiancee! Sharing turns on Magic with 2 women who liked both me and each other's company would be pretty awesome however!
We had a slight change in plans and won't be there on 2/22, but will be there 3/1.
