'14/'15 Magic Shitshow aka Everybody's an Expert thread

[MMP]

You guys are all young and rad, but I'm 50 fucking years old, and don't have instagram. If the public can't get a properly accurate and on-time snow report from magicmtn.com how can we expect them to come? Think people will just swing by and hope the place is good to go, or that there are trails open?

Your website is the front door to your store. Not updating it is like leaving the door locked. It makes it hard to ring the register.

I would love to see some metrics on where our skiers come from, why they come, how they heard of us, would they recommend us to a friend, why or why not?

The uphill policy is fine, but like The Tool said, whether it creates more than goodwill and some buzz within a small segment of a small market, I am not sure. Anything positive that costs nothing is a good thing, and if nothing else can be added to the list of why magic is a good place.

I think we all do more than complain. The people that post here are all stakeholders and/or investors such as it was.

I've said high

was he toked to see you?

The uphill policy is fine, but like The Tool said,

I skied Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Tues. ALL days the doors were locked upstairs upon arrival. Sorry, not bashing. Let's just get someone to open the doors. Jesus I'll do it.

That's why I'm in finance rather then marketing.

NYSB: we specialize in the underdog. Send some regulars over to drop a few killer pics in our Conditions thread each week. Capital district NY should be prime Magic country.

I'll get on that shortly. As surprised as I am that more people don't ski at Magic in general, I'm definitely confused when talking to people locally who either choose not to ski Magic or just don't know about it.

hopefully he tells two friends, and they tell two friends, and so on, and so on, and so on....

The lift starts spinning at 8:30. Upper Pass lodge and Blue Gentian usually have decent rates and availability (both walking distance). Magic view motel also an option, albeit a short drive.

Snowden Motel is also a mile or so away, clean(er than magicview) and inexpensive. Call soon, theres powder so rooms may go. Have fun

anyone know how magic/southern vt did today? Trying to plan my weekend - sounds like K-Mart north was all time today. Hoping to get some leftovers in the trees this weekend - trying to figure out how far north I have to drive.

I can't find a Magic-specific report but Bromley reported 8" and Stratton reported 10".. even if it was an elevation dependent thing, Magic probably got 6". It's going to be a good weekend. There's a ton of snow up there right now.

[SlidewaysShooter]

Thanks for the info ... will pack some fine jersey craft beer (carton 077XX) in the car to use in lieu of stalking lines

Like dowork mentioned, just come up and say hi. we just ski. a lot. (Look for guys with vests w magic swag), they coach the freeride team and around lunchtime are in the lodge usually. (edit: upstairs by the bar)

why is that?
that website is, no bueno

not sure today. usually input, today I think it's technical.

[Magicsnowboard]

If it's your first time, come say hi. I will be wearing one of two things:



I ride a Jones Carbon Flagship with a Magic sticker...


or a Jones Venture Split.

I know this is way too much info for TGR, but we do honestly want to make sure everyone who comes to Magic enjoys it as much as we do.

[RustyGroomer]

anyone need a ticket for Saturday? I have @ least one maybe 2 I need to get rid of for a friend. $40

[radam]

Rusty I've got friends who might be interested

[RustyGroomer]

You got it. Let me as soon as you can.

Hook Binky up

[Binky]

I'll be up Sunday. I had a liftopia credit from last year that I used so I am all set.

And, I am stoked to be skiing vertically not horizontally at least for a day

[RustyGroomer]

Binky replacing MMP on the roster for Sunday. Good fill in.
