What the heck is going on at Magic?

anyone live close to magic? Are they making snow yet? looks like Okemo and Stratton have turned their guns on.
I know Magic doesn't have nearly the snow making capacity, but just wondering if they will start now that the larger resorts have.

Don't have to see the slopes to know there is no way they would make snow now. 1 month to scheduled opening, way too many factors on top of a small budget to go wrong.

It would be one thing if the weather was cold enough to minimize melt loss... but it's not even close.

I'd be worried if they were making snow this early!
They did send out an email this morning about some nice "Ski Show" deals that are available today. 3 packs for $120!

Between these very low priced ski show 3-packs ($120 vs. on website at $150) and a Groupon super discount deal at 62% off a lift ticket (where Magic splits the sale proceeds with groupon), they seem to be scrambling to fund some type of snowmaking budget between now and December.

Everyone funds early season snowmaking with passes and deals. And for obvious reasons Magic would be more desperate for these funds than others.
Snowmaking now?? No way. Money down the drain. Maybe in two weeks or so. Now would just be crazy though. Just my .02
I'll be up there this weekend moving some stuff in and welding up a couple projects though, anybody going to be around?

Whelp, gonna grab a room for a few days over x-mas break. Hope to try Magic for the first time. Will be close enough to the big boys if they don't have a lot open.
Was actually thinking of trying magic and bromley - neither of which I have been to.
Think snow!

I'll be there for the whole XMas break. Hit me up and I'll show you around!
Thanks man! Assuming plan comes together, will touch base closer to break.

They should just do an EB-5 program. that'll do the trick. JP has something like 77 EB-5 investors

I think they are trying to compensate for not having a warm body at their Boston show booth to sell these.

As noted I did see a guy there at one point on Saturday. Not sure who he was. Tallish bald guy - had a 5 or 6 yearold girl with him.

Your note was acknowledged. But you can't bring back people who have left the building.

Uh, yeah. Piece of cake to do EB-5. Perhaps you can loan the mountain the $100K+ needed just to put their EB-5 program together and approved before you get one immigrant investor...
