What the heck is going on at Magic?

[Do Work]

1 to 2". I think the others are reporting the 2 day total. I went by Bromley and there was no 3-5" of new snow unless they found a spot on top.

Thant's kind of funny. I had someone calling me all jacked up this morning because there was nothing at their house and Magic apparently had done much better. Now I really wonder what it actually looks like up there haha

S t o k e!

I frequent Bromley (have a condo there) and what I have experienced is they under report if anything. That and there is a much bigger spread than I would have ever thought between what the base gets and what is up on the mountain. So I buy the 3-5, and it is supported by the 4" at Stratton and Mt Snow (short of collusion at least). So my guess is that Magic got a lot more than 1" last night, at least up on the terrain. But I guess we won't know until someone with first hand knowledge chimes in, and the bottom line is what additional terrain can they open?

My ruler doesn't lie I don't think they cleared their measuring sticks overnight.

I believe you, but seeing the pics on facebook they got some nice pow there today. Take look. Wish I was there.....

I'll be up there all next week for anyone who wants to make some turns.

So according to their Facebook page they were closed Thursday to make snow, and reports from people skinning today say they weren't making any at all. So wtf is going on?

It's mystifying at this point. Every time they go on FB and say they are making snow 24/7 its total bs. I get that it's a shitty year, I get that they are broke, what I don't get is the blatant lies.

This snow was the tail end of lake effect off of Ontario. Most of it was squeezed out on the spine of the Greens. Magic is just far enough east that it gets a fraction of what Big Brom, Stratton, etc. got.

If you see a tall guy on Monday in a Blue coat with white stripes on the sleeves, tan pants, a black helmet and blue Lange boots, likely carrying a BIG duffle bag full of racer kids coats and pants (I usually have "coat bag duty" as I have both a kid in the girls and boys division of the age group racing at Magic on Monday this year), lapping trick to show-off say hi, as it's very likely me!!

And if after the race is over, if you see a tall, dirty blond guy (I'm 6'3" ) next to an average height dirty blonde female both in Mount Snow ball caps at the BLT say hi, and the next beer is on me :beer:

Stopped by Magic Monday. All I've got to say is sad.

 

[SIKSKIER]

Hard to believe how little is open.5 trails?

Here's a secret. There is no patrol director. No one cares if u jump a rope. Don't be obvious and try not to do it in front of a redcoat.

Nice surface today and good to hear the compressors running and snow being made. I wish it was on Talisman though. God its going to be cold. I already decided Sunday will be unbearable.

I'd bring some rock skis if you plan of following this advice... at least until we get a little more snow. What natural snow we had took a real beating with that last warmup and the NCP event.

Shoot me a text. I'm heading up early Sunday and will probably stay until the following Sunday.

 

[slatham]

Any evidence that they have actually made some snow on Medium and Carumba? Weather is pretty good for making snow, to say the least!

The snow guns are running on lower Red Line (Carumba) right now.

Will do. Might not be around for very long on Monday since it's everyone will be arriving and unpacking at the house but I will keep my eyes open!

Cool. I will be toting the whole family for the week so I may be spending time on the rope tow and tubing area.

Sitting in the baselodge now at Magic with about 200 racers/parents/coaches waiting for the Red to feel like warming up in the -9 temp my car said when I turned it off about 20 min ago.....

The word from the coaches is they hope to have it spinning for 9
