keep the faith
Just got home from Magic (seems like I can never handle a full day there...) -- I'll be putting up a Trip Report soon.

Drove up for the afternoon. I guess it was pretty cold early but was nice in the afternoon. The place rocked. The woods were place to be.

I wasn't making any blurs on the mountain today. Never have at Magic. That place usually 0wns me. No exception today.

Very technical skiing on Saturday. Just every sort of east coast condition and you had to think all the time. It was interesting to view the freestyle competition on Red Line as the kids faced the same tough choices and I saw some falls. Plus the way down to the start gate on Witch was wind scoured to very hard snow and miserable.

I tried it today on skis that should have edged a bit better than the 98 mm waist skis I used on Saturday (and enjoyed) but something was off with the edges and it was not fun. So an early quit to catch the Superbowl.

Agree some areas got a little scratchy but IMO Saturday was an absolute blast. There were areas that gut pushed down to the very hard crust on the steeper terrain but you did t have to go far to find a pile to make a turn and cut speed. Did twilight zone when I got there mid day Saturday and then did several runs in the trees where there were almost no issues. Today was good too buy felt Saturday was better. I was on 110 skis both days. Let's meet up and do some runs! I skied a few runs with DJDJ. He's made his first two trios to magic in back to back weekends.im thinking he kind of likes it here.

Late edit... I know trick isn't the run that people come to Magic to ski but it was ridiculously good today.

Agree. I made this my first run on Friday. It was just the right pitch for fast powder turns, and it was in really great shape.

So much bitching on Magic's FB page this morning... I, for one, will be lined up tomorrow waiting for Red to deliver me to lots of untracked deep powder - without complaining!

I was SMH as I read through it. Not sure where the hell these people have been as the powder day policy has been in place for at least 5 years now. Wish I could make it tomorrow. It's going to be off the hook kind of good. Enjoy!!
