Magic 2/2/11

[bvibert]

Great day at Magic today! Not quite the endless powder we were hoping for, but very enjoyable none the less. Not the day to be stopping to take pictures or video, but I think Steve got some. I'll post more when I get home...

Always enjoyable at Magic! Glad you guys had a good time! Wat-da-ya-mean no pictures?

I have 2 non action shots from the chair on Facebook. I'll post em here later. I hope I got some footage with the GoPro, but I'm not too optimistic...

when i was there 2 years ago, the liftline was open. was it open today? is it normally open? it was fun.

Too bad the only chairlift broke at 3pm and everyone on it had to be evac'd.

Still an awesome day there.

good to see bvibert and powhunter if only briefly... was occupied trying to stay up with MMP's 13 yr old!
Excellent day, untracked was available every run if you just went a little further than the last guy.
First ever lift evac for me, was wondering if 2knees was there... not too bad, we were one of the last chairs, prob just over an hour and they had everyone down safely. Quick response and professionally handled. Hope the chair is up and running shortly - there's just too much good snow right now!

sorry I missed you wjenness, next time! and makimono - saw you from the chair but never got a chance to say hi.

Wrecked bad early on... banged the head/whiplash--resulting in headache and stiff neck-- went out to get some aspirin... did'nt help much... took a couple more runs later but very dissappointed.

 

[WJenness]

Had a great day up there for my first magic day.

Would have liked to get a few more runs in, but had to spend an hour and a half or so in the lodge doing work... But hey, if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have been there at all!

I was looking for you all day Roark, but didn't see you...

Saw BVibert and powhunter in the lodge when they first got there (when my work break was beginning)... Ran back into them when we were headed back to the chair for 'one more run'... Glad I didn't make it on the lift before it broke down.

A lot of fun though, I'll be back.

Bad News/Good News scenario

Looks Nice!! I've got to get to Magic this year.



Bad news is I have to work tomorrow.
Good news is work involves testing skis.
We'll see how things are at Sunapee and how well the 11/12 Elan's ski.

Was not on the lift when it went down... was picking up stuff to leave when it did...tough day, kinda bummed I did'nt ski more...could not get rid of the neck/head isues.
