I hear it's 80's weekend- which I assume means you pay lift ticket rates from the 1980s. So rad

Ooohh, that's funny. Stowe discounting anything. Good one. Enjoy, bring $95.

Fuck it then. I'm going to Stowe. I hear it's 80's weekend- which I assume means you pay lift ticket rates from the 1980s. So rad

PM me for a 40 percent of ticket. It will still be pricey but less so than normal.

Thought about hitting Stowe last weekend until we came to the realization it was $108 for lift tix plus $5 for the RFID card. So we stayed at smuggs and dug deeper into the woods.

For anyone who is up today: How does the mountain look? Will tomorrow likely be good?

[MyNameIsAugustWest]

Today was really good skiing wise...the weather, not so much. We tested the Gore-Tex today...keeping goggles clear proved to be the biggest pain. Had to stay on trails they groomed which was almost all of the usual suspects. They didn't groom Sorcerer and although it was smooth, it was very hard. It was sleeting at the top at 4pm and the temps are hovering around freezing. If we get the promised 2-3" of snow tonight, tomorrow could be really good.

Can anyone put 2 $free$ MRG vouchers to good use? Was looking forward to using them with pinhead, but we're both crippled.

[MyNameIsAugustWest]

^ Dibs please.

[Todd Zander]

Thanks again to MMP for the wouchers, now if i can only remember to bring them next time i should be all set.

[Peruvian]

Amazing how quickly between 1pm and 3pm the nice soft snow quickly became a skating rink. I didn't even bother to redeem my free ride voucher!

TR was an example of dust on frozen reef. We bailed on MSB after 250 yards!

And big thanks to kokomas for the gift left on the porch.

Had a long week of work topped off by a 8am-9:30pm Saturday running more tests on my line. Went out for dinner and drinks after with our Japanese guests and didn't make it back home till after midnight, so I slept in and other then some shopping layed low today.

I want at least one more fantastic ski day this season!

Got a $45 Magic Groupon voucher I'm not going to get to use, $35 and its yours!!

You made the right move. After skiing surprisingly good groomers all morning, the Ridge was terrible. I made a grand total of one enjoyable turn after you bailed. Can't say I expected it to be good, but it was borderline un-skiable. On the bright side, it coverage was good.

I am out next weekend for a sailing regatta. Someone else will need to be responsible for closing the bar.

Hard pack isn't so fun after a powder cycle, huh, time for you fellas to get back in touch with reality. Was fun to read while it lasted though:-)

Magic was still super fun. Just Timber which got hit by the sun a little harder and then froze up solid was rough. We'll readjust and start crushing whatever mother nature gives us.

[djspookman]

Had fun with the fam for a few late Saturday runs before we soaked through. My 5 year old gromlet was loving it, so I was too!




Peruvian, thanks for the goods for my older kiddo, and Magicsnowboard, nice finally meeting you.

That's Coulie 1 or 2. I can never remember.

This is the awesomeness of it, looks as if your winter isn't quite over either!

You have no idea! Spring skiing is like winter's going away party at Magic and this one was big so we've got to send 'er out proper. I bet I can get Kyle to push up a snow bar over on sunshine again too.

I spent all season trying to get him to push together a fucking jump for our "Terrain Park" as well as dig out some of the features that got buried by the snow and have a proper place for our team and the general public to play. I hate to be a complete dick here, but if they push together a fucking snow bar before they push together an actual jump, I may lose it.

sick edit, msb.... four years spent better than college!

And maybe a fence or atleast a fucking sign indicating that there are alot of lessons going on at the tow.

It was only on the following ride up did i realize the cut thru to red above the tube park but how much does a string of plastic orange fence cost?
