What the heck is going on at Magic?

[MMP]

do any of these lift installations require the use of a bucket truck. See what I'm getting at here? huh? huh?

 

[skithetrees]

I still remember when they leveled that half pipe and tried to construct a new one by the tubing.

 

[MMP]

How about a t bar right up goniffs glade. Lap that shit!

No, but they do involve the use of a helicopter. Helicopter flag installation would be way cooler to see than a bucket truck.

I'll pay for the gosh darned (zoning!) flags if you can arrange that!

I'm erect.

no helicopter connections


Uncle in Quechee is a hot air balloon pilot though......

He's coming to fix the flags? I'd pay to see that.

Is there anyone that has old trail maps of Magic like in the 80's?

Wow just looking at the old maps...that would have been a great spot for the original Black Magic trail. That terrain is just dirty. It whooped my ass

 

[WoodCore]

Magic does not have a good track record with helicopters!!!

Yeah those C & D expansions in the early projection maps would be SO SICK.

Do Work, on the 1960 map, isn't "C" Wizard and "D" Tali? Or am I missing some sarcasm (its early and I need more coffee).

My favorite is the 1997 map, which seems to be a more accurate, topo based map. I have printed this and put all the glades on it that I know of (its locked in a safe for anyone thinking of a heist!). I actually hate the current map - it was under represents Magic.

The '97 map also shows a "Future" trail called Black Magic that drops from upper Wizard into the top of Tali. That would add a "Magician" like trail but since its into Tali it would create one of the best combo runs in the North East, much less So VT.

 

[MMP]

^hahaha. Wizard to Tali??? IMPOSSIBLE.

oh man.

No C & D are actually off the next peak to the west from where the black chair summits.


Unfortunately that project is yet to materialize.

That area and other peak if you will has always looked intriguing when I've skied down Upper Wiz. Does Magic own that land? Wonder how much vertical that would add?
Would it require another lift to avoid lots of up hill hiking?

 

[Smellytele]

So the green chair only shows up in the 2007 map and is gone in 2008. Did it actually ever run?

 

[makimono]

It gets confusing with the colors because the Green chair is actually blue, the black chair used to be blue, the original green chair was on the beginners area, and red is just red.

So the Double chair that was partially installed in 2003 that runs up the Green Line trail (aka Phoenix Lift) never ran at Magic. It used to be the Betwixt Chair at Stratton.

But there was a Poma Triple that ran in that same location. Installed in 1987 and sold to B-East in the 90's. It was called the Mid-Mountain Triple.

I want to know how Magic gained an additional 150' vertical over the years! :beer::grin:
