What the heck is going on at Magic?

No sale no business. Buy those season passes elsewhere. Make a stand Magic faithful. Enough is enough.

i've no dog in this race but wondering.. if the faithful take a stand where will they ski next year? which is the "next best" option? do you wait and wait to see that happens @ magic or do you buy now at another mountain to get their best price?

A lot of people are buying now. Bromley, Stratton, Snow.

I was thinking about getting a pass but considering the uncertainty and about an hour drive, probably not. I was seconds from buying the blackout pass last fall
but when I went to do it they had sold out. Turns out I wouldn't have got much use out of it. I did pick up one of those Ragged mtn passes for $249 :smile:

As I have stated before, I will not buy my pass and family vouchers unless there is a change in ownership/management. I recommend all the season pass holders do the same. I realize this is a much harder action to take for those who have places on the mountain, though it would be a more powerful message coming from them.

I just hope a change in management occurs.

 

[skithetrees]

I suspect it is looking more and more likely there will be a change in ownership.

Is this based on anything tangible or are you just hoping?

Tangible in the sense that someone told me "we are buying the mountain," no. Tangible in the sense that moves are being made that I would make if I were to buy the mountain, yes. As far as timeline, I can't say. But my gut tells me it is looking increasingly likely something will happen. That said, we have all been around this road before. So don't buy a pass on my account! I was optimistic Tom would do a good job! For what it's worth, i still think he is a good guy who just got in way over his head.

are you buying now? (or whenever they go on sale for next season)

I think you're wrong

 

[skithetrees]

Fair enough. I knew him on a personal level before the last few years and that is what I base my opinion on. I think things for a bit desperate and bad choices were made. Not here to debate that though.

As to the pass question, hate myself for it, but probably waiting.

He's an embarrassment.

I am also not buying a pass for me or my wife. We will be renting in the circle again. We will be skiing Bromley or Stratton. I will be ordering a new pair of skins.

So sorry for you folks. Burke folks are having similar issues.

Thank you but the older i get the more i realize whining about where i'm going to buy my season pass is a fortunate problem to have.

This!!

I don't think anyone in my family (approximately 15 passes)will be buying until something changes.

 

[lotsarocks]

Our 3 passes will be bought elsewhere this season regardless what happens. Then we will see if things change for the better.
It is tough having 1st world problems.

From:*Magic Mountain Management LLC*and*SKI MAGIC LLC
For Immediate Release 4/22/2016:
Magic Mountain Management LLC, the current entity owning Magic Mountain Ski Area, has again entered into formal negotiations with SKI MAGIC LLC for the purchase of the ski area, and both parties have signed a Letter of Intent outlining the terms of such purchase. The next phase is to conclude a signed Asset Purchase and Sale agreement followed by due diligence and a transaction closing. Both parties have agreed to move as rapidly as possible so as to begin the extensive work necessary on both the lifts and snow-making systems to make positive infrastructure improvements for the 2016-17 season. It is anticipated that SKI MAGIC LLC would take over ownership and operations by late June or early July. But, as with any business transaction, there is always some uncertainty. Both parties will do their best to keep Magic customers informed of progress along the way.
