These people are ridiculous......once again someone had to ask if redchair was inspected or not for a straight answer due to smoke and mirror language......and whos writing this stuff? A " magical" experience......they already used that crappy line in last post......it still doesn't work!
Am guessing Sarr the IT guy or sidekick brunhilda "gilding the lily" these days.....also why the late posts? Hoping no one will see them that late? Or does it take all day for a creative writing assigment to get done?
Lets see if they post right away when red Finally gets done.....6 pack says its within minutes......whole thing is sad......this management needs to be done........hope they know that.....

I like how they said, "The word for open trails this weekend is "Trick to Showoff" - (Upper Magic to Trick to Wand to Showoff.)"

As if there was some sort of choice as to which trails they would open?

It gets even worse. Look at what they finally admitted about the Red Chair:

"There is one more piece, which requires an electrician to be present. He was not available yesterday morning. We expect him today... Or tomorrow. He WILL be here before Saturday."

They seriously don't know what day he will arrive? If I were management, that electrician would have had his ass up on the mountain already, or I would have found another electrician that could have gotten the work done.

But look at the bright side. They have smores.

Reports also says "Groomers" as in plural as in more than one. I guess they count the yellow cat because its providing moral support as it sits in the yard?

the electrician is needed for tach loss and overspeed tests, performed annually during lift inspections. these tests, and all requirements are clearly listed on the vt passenger tramway site. there are no surprises or "gotcha" moments during an inspection. the electrician is ballz out this time of year, gotta wait for a space in his schedule.

How about scheduling him in advance if they knew it needed to be done.

I agree. I've worked with 'lift electricians' and you have to get one that works on lifts as opposed to does commercial kitchens...and they are super busy now... Most of the lift specialists like engineers and mechanics are over booked this time of year. All the more reason to have your lift complete on Nov 1. But I'm sure the guy will come. He knows Magic is desperate to open.

True. As of this morning I am no longer part of the team at Magic. Moving forward I'll be happy to answer questions about what has been happening at the mountain, PM me. I truly hope for the passholders and Magic faithful that new ownership comes before it is too late to reverse what TB is doing.

There's a lot of speculation here. Could you please tell us what's really going on?

Wow, you couldn't make some of this stuff up if you tried. I just went on the Magic web site and watched the pictures scroll through on the front page. One of them is shot of snowmaking. But like a lot of things at Magic, it was upside down!
