Might as well put this out there too......Magic is looking for a new patrol director. If you are qualified and interested shoot me a pm or email me at info at magicmtn dot com.

Fellow East Coasters, especially all the Magic skiers, we are looking to start a freeride team at magic for the upcoming season and are starting a search for a coach. It would involve coaching kids...

oh jesus, a philthadelphian and a dirty jersey guy. your fucked. If it was up to all those true New Englanders you wouldn't even be allowed in the state except to spend money and buy skis from...

I love it when shitheads pull out the "you are from Jersey line". How fucking stupid are you? Don't you realize how many people you call friends from this site are not born New Englanders? For...

thats a pretty f'ing cool photo.

Pine Hill is right in Rutland. So maybe 20 minutes?

I guess I should add something to this argument since the original post was in my defense. Magic truly appreciates all the hard work of its volunteers both in sweat and tears and fund raising. They...

woodchipper?

I hate to be a party pooper, but lets leave the chain saw work at Magic to times when mountain staff will be around. Those things can get dangerous on steep slippery terrain. The last thing we need...

Nmbrdday, pm gravitylover, he helped me out with some broken parts on my stumpjumper a few years back. His shop is awesome and located in Manhattan. A hanger shouldn't be a problem. It will be nice...

For those wondering about Magic trail openings if we pick up 12+ I think the only problem we will see is downed trees in the woods. The West Side trails and other steep trails should all be good to...

What, do you think they might come in handy or something?

OL and Devils Fiddle were off the hook bumps yesterday. My body hates me.

Hey, the rando race got canceled for tomorrow.

Hickory seems to be a cool place. If I were free I would love to check it out. Alas, I am not free. Lots of fun at Whiteface too though.

Anyone have any info? http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/article/20110309/NEWS02/110309024/1007/Dozens-of-rescuers-hiking-two-miles-to-injured-skier-on-Mt.-Mansfield

sounds like a long day for...

snow line is definitely north of Ludlow. GO NORTH! Magic will be closed tomorrow.

well, if I go past MRG I would jump on the interstates. Not really worried about snow and ice, more concerned about the washouts.

Anyone have any idea how the roads are headed north on 100? I know there was a big washout south of ludlow and am just wondering how crazy it is going to be trying to drive north in the am.

I...

So any quick thought on So. VT? I have that feeling that we are a little too south and east to gain much out of it.

I can bring one in. Lets just hope I don't forget. If not, I can grab you one from rentals most likely.

yeah, that is the other option. Might have a snowboarder in tow, but he is less about beer drinking so maybe we will ditch him.

Crowded is just part of the fun on St. Patty's Day. Does Mount snow get any bumps?

beers for me, but yes there are still some of us losers left.

By the way, where is everyone partying and skiing for St. Patty's. K-town was unimpressive from a party standpoint last year. I...

from people I have talked to so far the skis were there until the end of the day at least. sounds like a under the cover of darkness thing. I am not worried about this becoming a pattern, just the...

but why would the thief come back to Magic with the skis. Figured the chances are better he would reappear somewhere else on the EC.

just to be clear the white wizards were sitting right outside the building next to the ticket window. There were a pair of poles which were taken as well. Spotting sploders in the gear room is a...

yeah, we found her phone. It was left on the bar.

Yeah, from the sounds of it we had a thief on Saturday. Another employees poles were stolen. We are too trusting, but you are right, the Holiday crowd is a different beast than most days. Also, I...

May karma come down hard on the bastard who stole my skis from Magic this weekend. Those skis are a Magic staple and were used by a bunch of Magic employees. I hope you rot in hell.

For all...

It has been heavy here all day. 9" on the deck at Magic, but it is compacting a little. Skiing has been silly good.

ML, based on the radar I have seen all day it should be quite good at Hickory. As long as there was a base to start. I have wanted to check that mtn out. If you go, let me know how it is.

It's snowing silly hard right now.

http://www.magicmtn.com/pixoftheday.php for now. Headed out around 1 for some runs

6" and pounding at magic.

any quick thoughts on So. VT as far as freezing rain? Ice pellets wouldn't be that bad, but actuall liquid precip falling and then freezing on surfaces would kind of suck.

We got some, but it isn't really affecting skiing. 9" at the base and dumping snow right now.

those with 185 praxis's I could be interested. Anyone have any input on whether or not Bumpskier would like them? I owe her some pow boards.

3-pack isn't an option anymore, BUT quality photos go a long way with me. I simply don't have time to get out and take them anymore. lets chat.

Oh yeah, nice meeting you Saturday night. Sorry...

Ahh, flying goose, right? The location of bumpskier and I's first "date".

I think we need a maggot mogul day. I will remount my slayers. I know bumpskier is in and I will grab my buddy T. It...

If it is Round Top, ie Bear Creak then I know one of the owners. Was it CT plates?

Far better.

That was fun Buttah. My Ops crew worked hard breaking that crust up all day.:biggrin:

yeah, Magic will be closed tomorrow. Reopen Friday per our normal schedule.

quick update for those looking for Magic info. Just got word from the crew that we have had a change over to r*$n. It makes sense as 20 miles north I've got the same thing at my house.

Anyway, no...

was that a fixed grip siting at the bowl?

9am tomorrow.

It is going to be good. 12-15". More probably fell but it is starting to compact, which is a good thing.

It is odd, I am not seeing any wind at the base here either. And of course if we did the Red would run no problem anyway.

10" on the deck and still snowing. It has let up a little, but seems to be coming in waves.
