What the heck is going on at Magic?

They also have a family 4 pack for 130.00

Groupon has Thursday tickets for $12. Use local20 code to bring down from $15 to $12.

whoever they had "fix" the flagpole bent the everloving shit out of it.

tried to buy a 3-pack as part of cyber monday but was told the product isn't available. still cyber monday over here.

MMP, they had a strange end date for the 3 packs - like Friday the 27th I believe? Last year it was Dec 1st. They have certainly been very active with pre-season discount promotions etc. I hope they worked up a good snowmaking budget - looks like they'll need it.

Are they charging one $5.00 PER CARD shipping as Q Burke is?

i tried to get three, just tried again and they limit it to 2 apparently.

USA back where it belongs!

They fixed it by tearing it out of the ground and then re-seating it? Never would have expected that!

It's probably a pivoting pole. They just didn't free the mechanism up enough before cranking on it with heavy equipment.

White Out Pass on Cyber Monday..... $179. The opportunity to have a ski off with MMP.....priceless

Popping my AZ cherry to chime in. I was planning on grabbing a few until today's shitstorm (shanestorm?) erupted. They've gone from us buying two passes and a pile of 3 packs to just one pass (mine) this year. I'm totally confused. Isn't the point of running a business generating revenue? What a clusterfuck.

People went online to buy from the sale and they were out of stock. So they turned business away. Probably just trying to avoid paying taxes on the profits.

But the flag is nice.

I guess it depends on how much you were trying to buy. I got one family pack no problem, didn't try to get more than that so i can't say if there were limits.

It's certainly a start. Only two more poles!

No. They tried to buy one 3-pack and they were out of stock. But congrats on your purchase.

The kid at Magic said they were putting more online at 6 last night, whatever that means. Classically Magic to run out of stock for something like lift tickets on the largest online retail day of the year. They have an almost disdainful regard for the Internet and social media. They really don't understand it, that's evident.

Isn't it typical for mountains to limit these kind of promotions?

 

[MMP]

Run out on noon on the busiest day of the year for online sales, when you need cash to make snow? Sounds right.

Ha. Yeah, fair point.

I'm not piling on. I care about Magic and its sustainability. This makes me insane.

I'm in business, and it irritates me when people make it hard for me to spend money at their place of business.
