Magic

Was there last Thursday. Thin with limited base. Struck lots of rocks and the trees were for the adventurous.
However, they picked up 7-10 inches of dense mank and then some freezing rain on top with a pronounced ice crust. Should really help to setup a nice base over everything going forward and the snow that we get Friday should have the mountain skiing very well.

Here's some stoke photos provided courtesy of Ian Ray (NS Username - Bangor). I share some shots from Magic Mountain (with a Timber Ridge lifestyle shot thrown in for good measure) on 1/13/2011.
Day began with us going straight to find some fresh snow in a nice little slot. Check out those sexy pole plants and upright upper body form...
We continued to find untouched canvas' to paint with some beautiful turns down Slide of Hans with 15-20" of untouched blower.
Towards the bottom, we pulled off into a little short, but sweet section that rewarded us with numerous great turns (and a few nice nicks to our bases).
With our options on the west side of Magic dwindling, we headed east and found some slots to make a few good turns in.
With our legs torched from Magic's excellent steep 2,000' of continous vertical, we called the day around 2pm and swapped over to Magic's forgotten backside, Timber Ridge. We set out on bootpack with the skis strapped to our backs and ripped some fun turns on some low angle stuff and snagged some lifestyle photos to boot...
We nailed a strobe shot at dusk, but not sure if Ian is holding out on that one for future use, or if he was unhappy with how it turned out.
All in all, a great day! Huge thanks to Ian for documenting the shredding that occurred!

shredded there today. even though the storm went north or whatever and we only got like 10 inches it was sooooooooo much fucking fun. in the woods there was probably 14-16 inches or so and it was dope. such good coverage and the terrain at Magic is just so much better than anywhere else in southern VT. had a couple dope runs shredding witch and popping of rocks, catching trannys, bustin some 3s. so much fun. im shredding there for every pow day from now on.
The stop last year was EPIC. Huge storm pounded us with all that snow leading right into the event with another 8" falling the night before. Shit was going off that day.
I may make an appearance. Won't be competing as I certainly cannot hold a candle to most of the guys who will be ripping the shit out of Black Magic.
