What the heck is going on at Magic?

[Magic]

If the mountain does not open as planned next week and we are pushed off yet another week, what legal right do I have to demand my season pass money back? After all, it is not "weather dependent" at this point that the mountain has not opened as promised...

Jackson hole. They are offering 50% off with any us pass in January.

Actually they make it pretty painless. They have great packages and petty reasonable if you stay in town. Sometimes offer airfare vouchers.

After seeing that weather forecast posted just a bit up, if they don't fire up snowmaking tonight, I'd be demanding my pass money back.

Agreed. Tonight will be the key. They can't have any excuses at this point.

Has anyone actually had their Magic pass printed? I have had no reason to go, so I don't know if there is anyone in the office to print it.

Their Facebook page is getting ugly, although they have deleted a ton of comments.

It's going to get worse when they don't blow any snow in the next few days.

Yes, I stopped by on Friday. Spoke with Capucine who is the "inside manager". I was surprised at how much rain they had.

I skiied once at Loon, twice at Ragged Mountain and on Friday I went to Bromley over the Holiday. The conditions were much better in NH. Bromley was quite icy and was giving the intermediates and beginners fits as there was no easy skiing especially near the bottom which got totally clogged.

I am going to quite grumbling on this forum and speak directly to the management. If necessary I will just vote with my wallet next year. It seems like a season pass is not offering good value, with year over year lost days. I can always pick up cheap tickets for when Magic is actually operating or in shape.

As Neil would say, "Tonight's the night".

Latest scuddlebutt I read is they have a blown breaker for the water pump. Costs $1500 for a new one. The person who's supposed to fix it hasn't been authorized to spend the money. Don't know how true this is.

Tonight will tell since temperatures are supposed to drop into the single digits or lower & remain there for at least 24hrs. Pretty much now or never if you ask me. Haven't heard anything about the chair being repaired so it could pass inspection. The ship seems to be sinking fast.

They aren't making snow yet, but they're deleting Facebook comments left and right.

The comments aren't even that bad. It's just people asking for some honest information.

i remember YEARS ago that mr woods told me a pump seized in the pumphouse 'cause sand washed into the impellor, locking up the pump. that was expensive, and of course, at the wrong time of year also.

 

[VTKilarney]

Word from the mountain is that they are making snow.

I'm happy to say I was just standing next to a fan gun pumping out the good stuff. I'll have pictures at first light.

We will take a crappy cell flash vision if you wouldn't mind, thanks for the heads up too

Any chance you have info on the lift status that you could share.
