What the heck is going on at Magic?

[dlague]

So should we have said nothing and let the tragedy just unfold? Should we have let tom just not blow snow because the pump was not running. Many of us have bought passes and 3/packs. Should we just wait for natural snow and skin up. When would you have spoken out about this? In the spring? It sucks all around but they have a commitment to at least try at some point. It's the first week of January and we still don't have a lift ready/ inspected.

I get that and it is fine pointing out issues but the venomous tone here is a bit crazy. Not all just a few. The Burke thread has the same issue. I like Magic and I will ski it this season at least once but i cannot get too worked up since my stake in Magic is minimal and if it does not work out then I can just go elsewhere.

When you've been lied to, misled, and strung along by how many management companies in a row, especially on snowmaking issues and lift maintenance/inspections, and rather than publicly confronting the issues, the delete comments or ban you on Facebook, it's very reasonable that people's tone to get that way.

What do you expect when mountain ownership allows this behavior repeatilly by several leasers, and the current lease holder is a minor stakeholder in the property?

This has gotten so bad that ownership may even lose their shirt in the mountain at some point!

Any word on when the lift is scheduled to be inspected?

Somebody build a bonfire to the snow gods quick!!!!

Another pretty good warm-up heading in this weekend, with no big SNOWSTORMS in sight. Hope they get a deep enough base down in time...

I'm assuming that this is your way of saying that the Red Chair is being inspected today?

An important day (despite a month late...). Expecting it to pass!

Snowmaking conditions return Monday night... Wet weekend though.

I think we all know the answer to that question. That's why I'm hoping for the best.

Have you seen what the ranchers are doing in Oregon? I imagine a similar situation.

It may be a good time to open up a tent to sell climbing skins.

Smart marketing right there. Aligns perfectly with the best uphill policy in new England. Sell them out of the new gift shop

Buy a round on the shot ski, get 50% off on a new pair of skins!

Fingers crossed for the Red, as if it all works out well between inspection and getting open and Magic being able to hold a race, I'll be riding the Red a week from Sunday!
