2 lifts this season???



I have literally said this probably a hundred times so far in this thread but I guess I'll say it again- Yes, both chairs will be functional this season. Read: THE RED CHAIR AND THE BLACK CHAIR WILL BOTH RUN FOR THE 15/16 SEASON.

Magic skiers seem to occupy a spectrum ranging from battered wives to full blown Stockholm syndrome. This thread really exemplifies that.

Weekly group therapy at the BLT helps, but the cure-all is found in Magic's woods

Not to sound like "a battered wife" or suffering from "full blown Stockholm syndrome" I think the emotion you are hearing from Do Work is because, unlike most on this thread, he knows what he is talking about because he is in the weeds on the issues and their solutions, and often provides his labor and expertise to solve the problem. He has also heard the past "claims" of being able to have this lift or that lift available only to know too well it was BS. But now he knows that having both lifts is on a clear, attainable path. Sure, these are old lifts and shit happens. But this isn't wishful thinking.

And yes, SIMULTANEOUSLY! As in, both lifts running at the same time and loading people onto chairs and taking them to the top of the mountain.

There's not much substance in them though and we still have no idea what the "further good news" is. While I agree that the increased activity on FB is a good thing, I'm still skeptical about Tom's ability to effectively manage the mountain, given how well last year went and I'm sure their lack of pre season funding due to decreased pass sales.

PJ, lets not forget that if Tom didn't step up last year the mountain would not have opened at all. We know it wasn't the best but he was left with a shitload of financial issues and other legal nightmares. My theory is since the "minority shareholder" is not budging on the sale, they want to prove that they can make a go of it without new owners. Let's hope my theory is correct and it will be a banner year for us all !

Hey what really matters is that the mountain looks better than it ever has. I think a lot of people will be surprised and pleased when the news of the actual "other good news" comes out too.

Tom Barker has hired people to run the mountain and is going to be a silent partner?!? They're reopening talks for selling!?! Kapitan is retiring?!? The Magic pass will have reciprocity at Jackson Hole and Snowbird?!? There is going to be a terrain park this year and it is going to be maintained?!? A boy can dream, can't he?

All I can say is I am jealous of it possibly snowing during this weekends volunteer day! Wish I could be there but last weekend was great.
