    I learned of Magic from a coworker who grew up skiing there and many years ago took a chance on skiing there. Fell in love with the place. It is hardcore in places and civilized in others. I once followed a troop of little kids with a Magic Mtn leader into a stand of trees and found an amazing tree run. And these kids were good, both as skiers and with their respect for the adults leading them. What I found that first day there has kept me coming back. And I have never left there without a smile on my face and sometime with a face cracking grin because it was so much fun. Already have my pass for this next season.

    Magic is AWESOME! I grew up 45 minutes away from it in South Newfane. Magic is EXTREMELY charming, and it DEFINITELY has a VERY "Swiss Alpine" feel to it. And DEFINITELY now as a CA Lake Tahoe skier, one of the 🏔️'s I miss the most is DEFINITELY Magic. Homewood on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe in Tahoma, KIND OF gives me some of those "New England 🏔️" vibes here in CA, but NOTHING beats Vermont.

    Good job on the video. I grew up going to magic in the mid 70's. and then the 80's. Wishing Magic continued success.

    I’ve skied almost every area in New England since I moved here from UT…and Magic is in my top 3. Less crowds, slower lift…means the snow doesn’t get skied off nearly as fast as the high speed mtns. So you’ll get powder turns days after it is gone on the corporate hills. Terrain is challenging and interesting…it’s a skiers mtn!

    Learned to ski at Magic in the 60s. One of my best friends parents owned a chalet on the mountain. Great memories of skiing to and from the chalet to the mountain. It is not the biggest area in Vemont but has some of the most difficult terrain (Upper Magician and Talisman) along with great glades and genuinely friendly people. I moved away from New England 35 years ago and am glad to see Magic is doing well.

      Thanks for the comment. It still really does have a old-school vibe to the place.

    Love "we have all the lifts here" black chair doesn't run, yet zoomed in on it lol. Would easily make a 30min liftline on a quad with the 30min liftline red chair has. Could paint the quad red doubt people would disagree

    I liked it up until the "crazy snowboarder" comment. For a state home to Burton you should be thanking snowboarding for supplementing the industry.
