I was also lucky enough to try YC a few years back too - fun terrain at that place. Not a fan of the huge lodges and hideous architecture at either). Damn young kids have changed things for all my friends, so the super entertaining times are on pause for the time being...
Need to post a TR on here again...have had some good trips the last few years that I think are worthy, along with great days at Magic, and elsewhere in the east.

Give a shout next time you're at magic. Need to revive those TRs!

Not as cringy as I expected. The pro DJ did a good job producing the show with my pre-recorded segments.

Young kids like yours or young kids like old man rant? Or young kids like goats?

Either way, always appreciated your TR’s so come on back out of the shadows.

Turns out this tele skiing gent somehow managed to lose both skis on the chair ride up....without noticing until the last minute.

Damn, I knew MMP smoked some heavy stuff but “blow your skis off just riding the chair and not even notice” is a whole ‘nother level of potency I wasn’t aware existed.

Downloading was a trip too.

hmm nice place kok.

**radam** · 02-20-2019, 03:30 PM

Who's around tomorrow? I've got a buddy headed up solo for the day, he'd probably enjoy linking up for some turns though if anyone is able.

I’m game for a Wyoming mini.

That is an incredible deal on a killer location. Wish I had some liquidity right now.

Now we are talking. And thanks for the plug. My wife cries everytime we discuss the sale. Or maybe it's just looking at me

Anyone going to be there tomorrow? I finally am a bit free.

Had a blast yesterday, grabbed a $54 ticket the day before, was hoping for small crowds. Skied on the lift all day! Natural stuff skied pretty well , all things considered. Witch>Black was fun. Felt the old school vibe. Dave was chatty yesterday at Red. And Green is awesome, love looking up at Goniff from the chair. Rowdy stuff. Purchased this shirt.
Well done Magic!

Smart to limit your soup picture to the RC. Laps optional.

We made our first trip of the season to Magic on Saturday for the freeride event. Pearl Jam did a great job whipping the venue into shape and making it a great time for the kids. Blackline is such a great run for the various abilities of all the different age categories.

I actually waited in a 5 minute lift line most of the day - that was great to see at Magic

. DoWork of course was pitching in at one point directing traffic in the corral.

The lodge looks great, and there was actually someone coordinating the parking in the lot! You guys are on your way to the Big Time.

Saturday was so surprisingly good. Lotsa laps on Talisman early until we had completely obliterated brownie's artwork. Then over to the east side to reap what the wind had blown into Goniff and T-zone. Late afternoon laps down Black after the comp finished. Plus a few laps with Mrs. MNIAW who now loves Talisman. So psyched to have her back onthe horse.

That was me in the parking lot I think. Hoping to make more turns with you boys as I figure out who is who.

Saturday was a fun day. Black was the ROTD for me.

If so, we chatted for a minute. I was in a blue suv with the wife and kids.

Don’t forget Master of the Mountain race coming up too.

Shovel races are pretty sweet, and I can guarantee it’ll pull a large contingent from area snowmaking crews. I’m pretty sure they invented shovel racing.
