Top to bottom on trick to show off! The snow refreezed in some places on trick and its skiing sweet. Also no rope on tz

[DoWork]

That's was so freakin' awesome.

[Peruvian]

Mrs Peruvian got to see the ultimate crazy town that Magic can be. Beers at the sunshine corner alternate, dirt and mud skiing, and the challenge of finding someone to serve us a beer on the deck.

She'll be back!

[Aldo]

Magic mountain , skiing it is believing it.

Sounds like it was a fitting end to a great season. As always, it was a ton of fun spending the winter with all of you lunatics. Let's do it again next year.

See y'all in the fall.

[MyNameIsAugustWest]

Great to see you and Mrs. Peruvian again.

Fun day...now I've got to find a washing machine.

Kokomas, if you put that pic on FB, it really needs to be put here also.

Agreed haha... That was one for the books. I went down really hard as well... A ski came off while I was going over a long rock/grass section above the chute and the other dug in immediately after. I went down single-into-double-ejection superman-style into some rocks and gravel. Tore my jacket, banged up my knee pretty good and my shoulder still hurts, ugh.


Still 100% worth it.


After that I put on the Explosives aka the rock crushers and things were alright from there on out. Trailbuilder, huge thanks to you for coming out and patrolling. You are the man and we owe you one!!

[MyNameIsAugustWest]

Yeah, I took a pretty good digger too. Still discovering bruises. As DoWork said, So worth it. Killington on Sunday was Day 50 for me this year. I could easily be at 60 if I wasn't such a weather wimp when it was cold.

Moving back to Vermont soon so 60 may not be achievable despite Killington projecting into June.

[trailbuilder]

Glad to come out for one last day.

Yeah, i never got that muddy. Only falls were when I lost my ski tips into "hollow" mogules on Twilight Zone. Freakish fall into running water...

I'm more willing to walk the mud than try to slide it.

It's not spring if nobody skied over the open water mogul field at the bottom of T Zone. I love that part.

Not even the Hermitage has waterfront moguls.

To the top once more. My season is done.

With a free weekend with the exception of looking after my doggies a buddy & I decided to go camping. It got pretty cold & the boys don't do too well in real cold so we decided to head up to Magic for the weekend to just wander around, relax, eat, hike, etc.

Friday nights meander left us wondering. Still skiable? Skis are here? Skiing is more fun than hiking? Saturday we went off to see what we could find.

Not terrible.


Getting better.


Might want to wait a few here.


Onward on one last strip.


Yes, snow right to the bullwheel!


Trick was top to bottom.


Next up,…..Talisman. Holy crap. “Snow right from here”


It’s good!




Not only that. With some creative dirt jumping, it’s goes all the way to Wizard. Stoked!


Great weekend for me to wrap things up. Thank all of you guys for an amazing season.

Now someone go get May Tali turns. Be prepared for the deep.

[PlayItLeo]

^^^Stellar

[Todd Zander]

Thanks for that, was going to post up to see if it was worth a morning lap or two.

Will be up tomorrow or wednesday with the pup

[ex-powderbroker]

Great pics, Rusty.

[Peruvian]

Good show, RG! We went to complete the 3 mountain challenge on Sunday. Showed up at Magic around 9:30, looked up Showoff, remembered last Saturday and decided to try the new coffee shop in Rawsonville instead. We did skin/ski Stratton and Bromley in a day, but it was a little disappointing that we didn't complete the trifecta. I think it we would have gone over the Magic last, we would have taken our chances.

[jgb@etree]

Still doesn't look like Magic is selling early discount passes for next year yet. Isn't this where the $$ to make minor improvements over the summer usually comes from?

Anyone know what's going on?

All about the stoke. "Waiting Game" to build up the anticipationz. Still tallying totals from last year most likely. That Throwback Thurs that was really a Friday fucked up the whole thing.

"Steeped in Accounting Problems"?

"Steeped in Accounting Problems"?

Hey not to be a downer but as a former shareholder should I be hearing from somebody. Is there a group representing the shareholders? Anything going on at all? Not expecting anything $$$ wise, I just find it odd that it just went dark and we have heard nothing.

Still a believer in the place btw…..

[RustyGroomer]

Keep believing. Not much to report. Other than plans are certainly in the works for a ski season next year.

[Timberridge]

If they didn't at least break even this year...
