The problem is MMP thinks Billski should pay to have the poles fixed and that Magic shouldn't be squandering resources on flags.

I think it's a tragic symbol of Magic's ongoing financial struggles. It would probably make more sense if the flag was flying upside down

Yeah I'm sure that costs a lot. Sad. The more I read about the place the less likely I am to ever go back there. Maybe after a dump but I'd still be worried if the lift (yes one) will be operational.

When the red chair needed painting, save magic didn't raise half the money, buy the paint, drop it off at the lodge and expect magic (with their DEFICIT BUDGET ) to follow through and find the resources to finish.

Not skiing at magic while they're open is biting off your nose to spite your face. Red ran great last year and afaik the only shutdown was electrical and that was town-wide.

I was there when the red went down last year and it was not electrical. It was down for 2-3 hours in the middle of the day. Something happened at the bottom wheel house and it smelt like burnt rubber and was smoking. I was actually standing looking back to get on the next chair when it came to a screeching halt.

Right. How many wind holds?

I was there on a Saturday last year and the lift did break down for not quite 2 hours. They were able to off load everyone and get it back going again by 2 or so. And there is never a windhold. Magic was awesome last year once the snow came.

Actually there's been talk on other sites whether to buy a pass now or not by the Magic faithful. Seems to be a question of not only will it open or not this season but who's going to own it. Legitimate questions I think.

Current owner did stiff those who thought monies they put in were some type of coop. Who's to say they wouldn't do it again? Maybe some of you can kick in $200 each to fix the grips on the black chair. Heard they ain't swinging to well. Heck it was only $200 a chair to paint the red.

Sad.

Now that's shitting on the place. Well deserved I think.

If you don't ski there, don't shit there either is what people are saying.

No one here cares to read that bullshit about Magic, Sugarbush or anywhere else you repeatedly attempt to crap on.

Stick to Killington......

It was $100 per chair to paint the Red lift. I'd easily put another $100 in for the "Save Magic" crew to fix the black chair if needed.

When everyone around you, at least on this site, starts to feel and say the same things...maybe you should take a hard look in the mirror.
