What the heck is going on at Magic?

[MEtoVTSkier]

you're the third to ask, no reply from MM as yet.

Well heck, it IS almost January for crying out loud. Guess I'll scratch Magic off the ever shortening "To Visit" list for this winter.

Now snowmaking problems according to FB. Need all the natural stuff they can get now.

 

[slatham]

That would explain why there's no snowmaking visible looking from Bromley. Very unfortunate given limited snowmaking windows. Guess it's the first weekend of Jan without some surprise dump.

Which mountain will open first this season - Magic, Burke or Saddleback ?

 

[prsboogie]

Saddleback ftw

The way things are going, none of them will yet be open a year from now... file all 3 under "Epic Fail" for this year.

Can't believe it was only recently that I thought about buying a 1 bed condo at Magic.

Why so much radio silence and or incompetence and or dishonesty from the owners and management?

Why can't anyone ever get a straight story?

I looked at them but the association fees were HIGH for not much to offer other than being on mountain.

Still regretting that I did not ski there when I had the opportunity.

Sad but true. This might be the season that breaks Q.

There is only one person to point to for that: Stenger. He brought in the Q crew and more BS development without first taking care of the ski product. Burke Mountain.

Wouldn't doubt they fair the best out of this storm.

Anyone get their family-4, or 3-packs that were purchased on cybermonday yet?

 

[Tin]

They are in the mail along with the lift certification documents...

Hey everyone, this is Shane, Director of Marketing for Magic. I wanted to get in here and clear the air as I do religiously read this thread and those on other sites to see what the general skiing public is thinking. It's a great way to see both the good and bad. Unfortunately, like many other Vermont mountains, Magic has had a tough start to the season. On Sunday night a transformer blew out and that cost us our first good snowmaking window of the season. It was not our pump that went. Green Mountain Power has since come out and made the necessary repairs to resolve the problem. Our snowmakers plan to get out later this week and into the weekend and get the guns going. The Red Chair is just about ready to go and will be certified very, very soon, we need to raise the counterweight and that requires a crane to come in, which has been scheduled. Black will be ready a couple weeks after the final touches are completed. The delay on Black is a result of having all hands on deck to complete the Red Chair in time for opening day. Speaking of opening day, based on my last conversation with our top snowmakers we hope to open January 9th. I apologize for all the confusion and frustration that surrounds the mountain and we are working to make things much smoother for our customers.
