And now the next brilliant move by the Magic admins.... It's a 3 day holiday weekend for many this weekend. You'd think that Magic would be open all 3 days. Nope per their FB page they will be closed on Monday!! The slow motion train wreck keeps on happening!!

Now that's messed up. I might have a case to get some money back on my Whiteout Pass now. They explicitly said that it was good from the 16-18th. This is so bad...

Exceptional ineptitude!

Magic Mountain Ski Area Right now, we're upgrading that "no" to a "yes" if we can gather the Ski Patrol.
We'll post as soon as that's official.

"Gather the ski patrol".....You can't make this stuff up.

As I have said before, you can't make this stuff up. Somebody in the ski area management business wrote up a business scenario of all the things that can wrong and all the bone headed moves you make, and it pales in comparison to the reality that we have been witnessing. What next? Not opening during Presidents week? Not opening for a 2' dump (there's too much snow will be the excuse). Maybe $67 IS the discounted rate and when they are fully open it will be $100! It boggles the mind......

Now they are furiously backtracking as to Monday. My FB comment is not deleted yet "Pay for the patrollers if necessary. This is the worst mismanagement I have ever seen of ANYTHING except North Korea." Sort of mean spirited but I way beyond being polite. I could not imagine they would not have a plan for Monday.Until they said it! And each stutter step costs them money!

^^^ can't have a paid patrol without a general liability policy. All volunteers. Don't blame them. Only one fool to blame. Epic failure.

We need to keep Magic around. Even in my darkest days they sure as a reminder that things could be worse. I can't believe I am going to say this, but bringing in Ary Quiros would be an upgrade for this place.

At least he knows how to find money to spend

Ary can buy all the financially distressed mountains. We'll have Q Burke, Q Magic, Q Saddleback...
