You're better of skiing crowded, skied-off intermediate terrain somewhere else than Magics intermediate terrain?

Will you be skiing with your friend? If so what's wrong with medium, up your sleeve, mystery, wizard, and with the grooming and abundance of snow, sorcerer and talisman are skiing like an intermediate. Meaning perfectly groomed.

No flags yet though.

Holy crap the unmarked beyond s.o. Hans is nuts. Too nuts for me though I think the steep and tight entrance psyched me out

.

I thought this also- the steepest intermediates in Vermont.

What will this SnoCross snowmobile thing do to the skiing this weekend? At best it has to be quite noisy. How can you isolate snowmobiles going to many classes per day from the skiers?

I just checked the snocross website. They sell admission tickets. So, it has to be in an isolated area. My guess is the beginner area to the right, but who knows? I just hope they keep the lower lot for the skiers. Cause the check in is like 7 am or 730 for the snowmobilers. I bet the parking and lodge might be busy but hopefully not the lift line so much!

Will be on the beginner hill. Only ski ticket purchasers will be allowed to park in the lot. Race viewers will be bussed from the school lot in town.

I think you mean Broomstick...
I think he means west of Hans in the trees. Getting into Hans is a bit of an adventure. They groom Broomstick when it gets too crazy. Hans is just mostly a bit crazy. On Sunday last I decided the trip wasn't worth the fare for a second run. I'm a bit of an elephant in the woods so no thanks to west of Hans. I turned the corner on Broomstick with a bit of speed on Sunday and had a bit of a Nantucket sleigh ride as I couldn't bleed off any speed all the way down the chute!

Hmm I didn't find the trees that challenging over that way. There is a very tight and challenging chute next to Broomstick though

I just saw this today. I ended up going to Plattekill on Sunday and Berkshire East on Monday. I'm thinking about Magic for this Saturday but I'm wondering how this little warm-up affected the conditions.

Anyone know how the latest weather has affected the snow up there?

Email from Magic says Lot A for skiers plus old Dostal's parking lot. The big Lot B will be for the snowmobile racers. Skier parking will now be a zoo, so get there early if you want a spot.

Also nice new vid from Guy.
