I hope management is okay with uphill traffic.

For Immediate Release

Magic Mountain Announces Hike One Ride One Uphill Skiing Policy

February 2, 2015 Londonderry, VT: The best uphill policy in the ski business just got better! Magic Mountain is excited to announce a first of its kind- an expansion of our uphill skiing policy- which already sets the industry standard. Effective immediately, any uphill skier or splitboarder who successfully climbs the 1,700 vertical feet to our summit will receive a complimentary token good for a single lift ride (limit one per day, valid only same day). Simply announce to the lift operator at the base that you intend to climb up, climb to the summit and our summit lift operator will give you a Free Turns token, which can be redeemed by the previously notified lift attendant for a free ride back up on the chairlift!

Magic Mountain is an industry leader when it comes to supporting uphill skiing. Magic introduced one of the first official (and least restrictive) policies in 2008 and continues that tradition with today's Hike One Ride One policy. We believe this program embodies our mountain's community-driven values and supports our mission of offering affordable, classic Vermont skiing, snowboarding and outdoor recreation.

About Magic Mountain Vermont:

headed back up tonight barring the unforeseen. If you want first chair, you'll have to beat me to it or be on it with me. If anyone sees Andrew, please ask him to leave RedLine a virgin for me. Thanks.

I expect to be right there with you. Non-mag buddy is picking me up at 6am to ensure that we are there with plenty of time to boot up and stake out our place in line well before opening bell. So none of my usual early morning bullshit that gets me there at the crack of noon. Foot feels good too so I am 100% stoked to rip teh powz!

Dave is going to love cross examining skiers to shake out the fibbers.

I imagine the abuse rate on this policy will be low. You get your token at the top of the mountain, so basically the only ways up are via the lift (with a ticket or pass), or skinning/hiking. Then you give Dave your token at the bottom. No token, no lift ride. Maybe a few skinners will try to save their token for another day but the AT crowd doesn't really strike me as a group to try to pull a fast one on anybody.

Thats awesome! Interesting how it doesn't mention snowshoes. If a snowboarder snowshoes to the top to ride down, I wonder if they will get a free ticket as well?

Crush it everyone! See you Saturday

I was there last Thurs, there was a dude there skinning up with his kid in tow. Little mini chariot thingy strapped to his waist, held by aluminum poles then on mini skis of its own. Pretty cool setup, and nice guy.

At work now, but there's a good chance I'll be able to make it tomorrow

Enjoy fellas. Wish I were able to partake in what is sure to be an amazing day.
