What the heck is going on at Magic?

[Magicsnowboard]

Jealous that you have in-laws that skin ski areas. Next season my kid will fit in AT gear, can't wait. How did the trail hold up today? Sure was fun yesterday.

Actually, it was my in law's first skin lap. The skin lap just happened to be at Magic. Luckily they really liked it and want to get more into it.

Stoked to see your kid on the skin track next season!

"Early season" at Magic was damn good today

It was even better today. Trick was phenomenal top to bottom. Wand needs to be renamed Rocky Road as the construction road rocks (2X3 inches) are a disaster as they crop up. Wand needs a foot of snow over what is there now to be safe.

Really cold today with high winds so I only lasted 6 runs. Lodge had no heat at 56 degrees. Some staffers let go according to rumours.

Great skiing really. Considering.

Wand was a mess on Saturday. Can't imagine it got much better. Trick and Show Off were great though

That really is going to make people REALLY want to go and buy those $67 tickets. No furnace there or what? Heating oil is pretty cheap right now compared to what it has been.

Hey cheap lift and tubing tickets though.... oh, no tubing yet, right?! :roll:

I have some of those and think I should use them as soon as I can before they fold and are useless.

Thanks for the shots Rusty. Looking really close to wide open. Just the need this coastal to come up and it'll be there.

Is this what it was like at the end of Brodie, Temple or other places?

Some go quick some linger longer before they die. Some are reincarnated only to die again and again

I don't recall either of them being anything like how Magic is constantly fubaring. Brodie was bought out by Jiminy and immediately closed. Jiminy said a lot of money needed to be put in, but the real reason was to remove competition and bring people to their mountain. Temple was always a shoestring operation, but they had enough money. They had HKDs (when few areas did), they made more snow (relative to their size compared to Magic), their lifts were painted (remember how hard it was to fund just the painting of the chairs on Red at Magic?), and they didn't have any flagless flag poles.

Magic is in it's own world of fuckups ... it's the one thing they're succeeding at.

The closest thing to Magic is Tenney

Referring to Black line pictures above.

So none of that was open terrain. Did you skin up or do I assume that I can duck any rope I want at Magic also? This is a really serious issue as you are promoting rule breaking.

 

[skifasttakechances]

^^^ please! Ski it if you can and take responsibility for yourself if you can't. Or go back to okemo. Leave magic to the professionals.

Chances my ass until you need a rescue.

Oh, I can ski it. Fuck off asshole.

Ever dealt with a compound fracture of the femur? I did at age 13 with my father a patroller. And I have done all kinds of deep backcounrty.

 

[skifasttakechances]

Whaaaa ... initially I was wounded by your harsh words. Beater

 

[makimono]

What's your point JoeB-Z?

I know you know the answer to your facetious question...why are you throwing a wet blanket on RG's awesome stoke?
