'13/'14 Magic Shenanigans- sooooooo much better than your area thread!

[MarcusBrody]

It was a great season. I was pretty crushed to miss the last day of the season AND cape day. I could barely look at the photos for raging jealousy.

But the sheer randomness of my day in New York made up for it somewhat. The culmination was picking up a jacket off the road near central park as I thought it might impede traffic (Jeff Novak will note that I'm incorrigibly wholesome). Inside I found glasses and an Ipad that turned out to belong to the recently arrived UN ambassador from a major European country. He had lost it while riding around on a Citibike. ha Anyway I gave it back to him and am now invited to lunch at the UN Delegate's lounge or their UN Mission's cafeteria.

But at no point did I get to where a cape.

Like I told the kids, aim for the white!

Ha! Great minds think alike. Yesterday I told my girls "ski around the grass islands"

QFT
The Spookman Family. So gnar at Magic.

Thanks for the pic MMP! The girls and I had a blast yesterday. Where else do you get to have this much as a family and dress like goofballs?

that is awesome. and way to keep it green. it offsets all the Magic Hat #9 bottles you threw off the lift saturday If he takes you to the cafeteria, whip out a cape and rock that shit!

"ski around the grass islands"

Ha! whatever it takes, right?

Nice family DJ, the perfect counterpoint to the hip-hop and that dudes underwear showing on the deck. All is in balance...

Did anybody see that tele skier practice his summer body surfing moves in the middle of Blackline?

That was actually a rarely-seen tele move called a "penguin turn"


Very rad and little known.

[makimono]

Yeah I did the dirty mud slide down yer blackline too, fortunately I wore protection 'cause once turned around headfirst and backwards, my cape gave a pretty smooth ride.

Awesome end cap to a great season at Magic.

you are out of your fucking mind. what is that thing called with your binders inline on that thin carving board. layed some trenches with that device

Run of the day was Maki on Green Line. Slayed! It really is unbelievable

This was something to behold. I was feeling out of my depth on two planks. Two feet attached in a forward position to one plank? Mandatory rocks, ice, mud, and air on the exit...my gawd man!

Yeah it's a trench digger...fun ride!

Put this quick edit together from yesterday..



All the footage is from a trick to showoff run before things were soft. PJ09 and I decided to toss the camera back and forth to keep things interesting.

WE WANT JUMP FOOTAGE!

[biggins]

Yup, that's about it right there. Obligated to ski slowkemo yesterday, and even that was fun in the sprrrrring glory. Planning to hike some Magic laps the week of MA vacation. Hope to see some of youse out there.

That thing terrifies me.

Graceful and violent at the same time. I think he ripped green on the Mach 5 mono. Still, holy shit. Haha.

[Aldo]

Stellar closing day, peel away corn, it just doesnt get any better. Last few runs just go in the memory bank for the summer, perfect.

Big ups to all the staff, lift ops, DAVE, Chris and the bar/kitchen staff, you guys all kick serious ass.

Serious repetitive dated props to the entire savemagicmtn contingency, your contributions have
done more to keep glebe pumping in the recent future than you get credit for!

Love that hill.

I'm a bit surprised by the big jump in price for the early season pass. At $499 if purchased before May 1, it's a full $100 more than last season. By comparison, the previous year was a hike of $10, from $389 to $399.

Not really sure what the thinking was. I know last year they increased the late season passes by $50-$100 but left the early ones at just the $10 increase noted. Perhaps he sold a lot of $500 passes last season and figured the elasticity was low?

Still cheap, but phasing in the increase over two seasons may have been a better idea.

[Speedfreak]

That makes me wonder if they saw a jump in the # of season passes sold vs. day passes.

[MMP]

at that price I'll take my chances with day pass deals for the kids. Given the # of days of operation, the abundance of deals, discounts, coupons, etc. offered, The ROI is questionable for all but me.

plus kid 2 is such a freaking snow snob, dude will not run T-->SO with us.

Haven't the 3 of you been skiing Magic long enough to know these answers?

Gift shop revenue was down and they need to make up the shortfall?
