What the heck is going on at Magic?

[Tin]

This is likely. Also new sleazy asshole manager too from the sounds of it unless I'm hearing wrong. I have literally never been so unstoked to be a part of the Magic equation... And things were shaping up to be freakin' awesome too. Talk about a letdown. What the fuck.

I just do not understand how it is so difficult to judge trails and then relay that information to the public. It amazes me. I would gladly volunteer to do this on Thursdays and drive the 6 hours to do it. They could really take a note out of Tenney's book in terms of communication. Tenney has exploded on FB this summer thanks to updates and communication. Hell, I'd volunteer to do that as well. Anything is better than what they have now. It is just not as difficult as they make it seem and is the easiest way to get people considering Magic.

I like Tom and can understand why he feels the way he does. I don't like that he can't look past wanting to be "the guy" above all else but I get it. What I don't understand is why he would get Rob Lyszczarz aka Scumbag Extraordinaire, known ripoff artist and Aichholz puppet supreme back on the hill in any capacity. That is literally the worst move he could have made given the options. Not one person likes him, trusts him or thinks he will accomplish anything good. Tom was ok I guess... Rob is a fucking travesty.

You couldn't have said it better

The same shitty ski patrol and snow report?

You don't like incompetence?

Sounds like a great ownership and management team poised to move Magic up the ladder of success.

If they have a really bad year and perhaps don't operate it'll be fantastic hiking and perhaps be forced to sell quick afterward. Is that the long view?

When your head of ski patrol can't get down the greens, he thinks they are too dangerous for everyone. New ownership had people in place ready to take over, and let's be honest, they were killing it on Instagram. Now it's all down the drain again.

how is this new manager regarding the flags. you guys cannot focus on what really matters.

Heres where i stand; As far from the date i wrote the check to "save magic" as possible. Hard to imagine giving these inept people thousands of dollars, but lots of us did. I am now a customer only. I was as invested a stakeholder as anyone (that doesn't own a real estate interest), and now other than my selfishly wanting to ski there wont be advocating for Magic anymore.

I'll be loading up on the groupons and see you fuckers on pow days. Think I'll buy a Mad Card too . Barker is good for business, other mountains.

May have missed something but what role is Rob L playing? I know he's one of the owners via MMM, but the thread implies he's going to be involved in the running of the mountain? I would have assumed Tom was running the mountain.

Magic was about to get an infusion of fresh capital and new management. Deal was basically complete, new owners had started mtn prep, work on the black chair and snowmaking. I'm hearing now that one minority owner just backed out at last minute, and it's the same owner that owned a condo on mtn, stiffed the condo association for dues and let the bank foreclose on his condo. I guess this guy wants the same for Magic.

Sucks. I'm going to ski upper Red Line 1st run in protest.

No idea what role Rob will play, but do you really want someone like this involved in any form or fashion? http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/Rob-L...aking-Advantage-of-People-in-VT-Westf-1161259

I would rather be subject to a series of torture events including being forced to listen to MMMBop by Hanson at full volume for 72 straight hours, cleaning the Black Line Tavern's floor with my tongue, and only being allowed to ski in jeans on Snowllerblades for the rest of my life.

 

[slatham]

Yes I found that when I did some research on the parties involved in MMM. Seems like a nice gent based on that report. So he's been somewhat involved already via MMM. But I agree if he is involved in the management company that is leasing and running Magic that would be a different story. So I wonder if he is in fact now involved in running the mountain?

Double Freedom Rockets for the win!

I don't know if it's something in the water but I think Magic folk suffer from multiple personality disorder

Lazzoo buy half the place maybe worth a try.

Passion. But call it whatever you want.

I'm not sure we suffer from it. More like enjoy every minute of it. Best part? I've always got someone to talk to.

 

[Tin]

More like masichism. You guys have a condo all decked out for FemDom?

I was thinking they're more of a passive-aggressive type. My goal is to make it there this year. Tough to commit any money to a place with one working lift, no snowmaking, and 1500' of vertical
