What the heck is going on at Magic?

[Brewbeer]

They need to change their name from "Magic Mountain" to "Mystery Mountain".

Prediction: if they are open, tickets will be full price.

That's my fear with their lack of response on the price question. And that's a way to GUARANTEE people don't buy lift tickets. There are other options in the area with way more terrain open

The last time they were trying to open w trick to showoff......was that just last saturday? Have lost track......anyway
Someone asked about tix prices and TB said to look at the page on the website.......meaning regular saturday price!
So not sure if he will do a tix for less, this would be the smart logical thing to do.......but neither of these attributes have been used so far this season!

Tom should realize that any revenue lost on discounted tickets will be made up in spades at BLT because people won't ski 1 trail all day without a beer or two. Call it a loss leader. Full price would be a joke.

Will be up there on Saturday to use my "White Out" pass (i.e. gift certificate). Was hoping to ski a little with my daughter Sunday so no rope tow sucks

This is really weird. If the Red Chair was inspected, wouldn't they say so unequivocally? It seems like they are playing games. If they aren't playing games, they are horrible communicators.

Both apply here to everything Magic "management" does. Did you expect anything less? Why do you think both their new ski patrol director and their new sales and marketing director left? Because he's an idiot!

Maybe the next ski patrol director wont clip passes for having the bar up and Without any warning.

Assuming there will be any patrol... I was a regular volly the past 3 years, knew Lynch was looking for full time pros while he was director, don't know if he found any, but haven't heard if the mountain still wants prior year volunteers... no insurance, no patrol, sounds like a nice place to take the family.

Under VT law, you must have a patroller to run the lift.

 

[MadMadWorld]

Without ski patrol I will be poaching trails all weekend. Rock skis required!

there is no requirement for insurance, excepting worker's comp. Magic has not had any general liability insurance for many years.

And that is a major fail. Would you work there? Foolishness.

This is getting a little out of hand. As I understand it, the head of the ski ski patrol from last year, as much as people seem to dislike him, has resumed his responsibilities.

Awesome. I can't wait to see Kappy and give him a big hug...

The whole situation reminds me of a music festival I attended this fall........"Shuck and Jive!" http://www.shuckandjivefest.com/
