Good to see you again & glad the knee is strong + stable.

Epic sunshine corner days to come. You should try to make it up again this spring.

Fluff piece, but still a nice read about the place.

**Goniff** · 03-12-2019, 08:10 AM

Well written. Would be great to have a joint Mag/Diva mini some day.

QFT. Those ladies are a blast

^^Sorry I will miss it. I skied with the co-founder of Shejumps many years ago. Sounds like a great organization.

^What he didn't say is that he will miss it because he will be in Jackson...

**Peruvian** · 03-13-2019, 05:42 PM

Going to Jackson?

Nice view from the top of the Ridge this evening.

appropriate sponsor for that clip too.

**lotsarocks** · 03-14-2019, 11:21 AM

We would love to meet up and shred. Kid just loves skiing and mtb, He is first/last chair with anyone anywhere. More kids the better🤙.

This was my 1st time skiing with him but keep the thread updated. I'm sure his dad & him would love to shred. I'll happily try to keep up with them.

Ski Magic, LLC does not own the Timber Ridge side. It's has been privately owned well before the recent ownership purchased Magic. The lift and t-bar are both gone. Luckily the private owner on that side is a great friend of Magic and provides his support for Magic skiers and riders in many ways.

We were thinking where the hell is he going & watched him send the disc golf tee which is basically a big pile of rocks onto rocks. Haha. Have fun buying that boy skis.

Gimpy check the Timber Fb page for some goings on over there. you might even find a pic of yourself.

Several very old pics of the race team on there.

No doubt, he is just light enough to not completely destroy skis before he outgrows them. His poor sister gets to Inherit them.

That sounds very much like a line he would take.

**St. Jerry** · 03-17-2019, 07:37 AM

Going to Magic next weekend with St. Jerry Junior. Haven't been in 30+ years. Excited!

**Peruvian** · 03-17-2019, 09:53 AM

Free ski day next Friday thanks to Lycored. They gave away grilled cheese and tomato soup at the base of Red last year.

I hope they give away more neckie tubes again, I finally worked my way through a handful of the ones they were giving away last year.

Cool company, very fun to work with and everybody is next-level nice. I have never used their supplements but Lycored is alright with me!

Was up there for just my second visit on Saturday. Of course, conditions were not ideal just like most of the EC but Magic did a good job recovering. I am especially appreciative that they shut down the west side for two hours to groom it out. That move saved the day for me. I feel like a lot of mountains wouldn’t have put in the effort. I definitely understand why you guys love the place so much. Wish I could get back for the shovel races.
