It's another Friday afternoon and the beginning of a nice, long weekend of skiing and riding. Over the course of the week Mother Nature didn't forget about Southern Vermont completely and dropped an inch of new snow on the trails. It's not much but it's a nice refresher and it's good to see snow falling again. Thanks to our snowmaking crew who spent a lot of time on the hill this week, we will be skiing and riding on 10 trails all of which will be skiing very well with packed powder conditions and machine groomed surfaces. The west side of the mountain is still in need of some TLC from our mountain crew and Mother Nature so those trails will remain closed at this time.

Being a skier it is common practice to check the weather multiple times a day all winter long. I am always on the lookout for the right system to be setting up and heading our way. Today is national Weatherperson's Day commemerating the birth of John Jefferies, noted to be one of America's first weather observers. Thanks to him (among other people) I can now simply input my zip code to the weather website of my choice and get a detailed weather forecast. Happy Birthday John Jefferies! With weather on our thoughts this weekend is looking to be partly sunny with temperatures reaching the low 20's, comfortable after a stretch of very cold temps.

Saturday's Apres Ski in The Goniff Den will feature Mike Bosco on the stage and Woodchuck Day with prizes, giveaways and specials on Woodchuck Cider. The Den is now offering an Apres Ski menu upstairs at the bar. With the ample selection of local brews on tap, good music and the company of great friends I can't think of a better way to end a day on the slopes.

Super Bowl Sunday will be the day to get out and get your turns in before settling into the big game and munchies. We are offering tons of SAVINGS on lift tickets, be sure to take advantage of them! Share the Magic Sunday is a $40 lift ticket when you come to the ticket window with a friend who has a Magic seasons pass. If enjoying the afternoon sun and snow is your forte then for $25 you can ski with the Sunday Afternoon Special lift ticket.

The AlaKazam Tube Park will be open this weekend. You can always have fun at Magic Mountain, even if you aren't skiing!

We look forward to seeing you on the slopes. Think Snow!
