Stoked!
"We are excited about an upcoming transaction for the purchase and operation of Magic Mountain Ski Area. We will be working with this new company for the next few weeks to complete all necessary Due Diligence to close on the purchase. This new group will also be working with us on key projects necessary to ready the ski area for the new season.
Importantly, the new owners will honor all season passes purchased this year. But until the purchase officially closes in a few weeks, no new passes will be sold. When the purchase happens, the new company will offer new passes for sale at what would traditionally be "early bird" spring pricing as a way of thanking you for your patience during this tranistion. Expect passes to go on sale by October for a couple of weeks at these special prices.
Be assured that the new ownership group is committed to not only a purchase of Magic but a long-term investment in its infrastructure to improve your ski experience (more snowmaking and fully operational lift system).
Again, thank you for your patience. We know great days are ahead for Magic.
Think snow!"

The phrase " fully operational lift system" (emphasis added) suggests more than one fully operational lift.
Can always hope, but I'm still holding on to my skins.

Yes, I did read it. I realize that actual cash has not changed hands and the sale is not legally complete, but what kind of idiot would post that notice if they weren't 100% sure the deal will close in a few weeks? Originally Posted by RustyGroomer

The deal will close. They had to stop selling passes as the old operator is now out (somewhat complicated), hence the announcement. Once the deal closes an announcement will be made and pass sales will go back on-line. Originally Posted by Timberridge

The new crew seems to be ready to fkn rock IMO. They are all Magic people."If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise." -Robert Fritz

Definitely bring them for March 12 & 13 for rando racing -- or just laugh at us from the lift! Originally Posted by ts01

But this should attract some Westerners plus a portion of the very fast Quebec skimo crew (in addition to our NE talent).
As of now Saturday's course is entirely in-bounds:

... but I would like to expand it to Timber Ridge pending landowner permission (and natural snowcover too of course).
Sunday's race format will feature shorter laps all within view of the Red Chair, so should be quite the spectacle!Mo' skimo here: NE Rando Race Series

I love it... Magic is back in black!
Sip of Sunshine or HT? SOS is probably more appropriate, no pun intended, lol.Screw the net, Surf the backcountry!

A lot of people know who the buyers are. Just been told to keep it quiet. As was noted, they are Magic people - I'm not one of them.
Sip of Sunshine is hard to get in quantity but I'll start working on figuring it out.
Pass sales are frozen. They will be offered at the Springtime rate for a couple of weeks in October after the sale is final. Break even days are 7+ (assuming you pay the retail price which nobody does) if you get a pass for $489.
No word on what Throwback Thursday rates will be or even if they will be offered. If so, I hope they market it.
