Greetings from Londonderry where today's ninety degree temperature belies the fact that summer is coming to an end and the fall is upon us.  Here at the mountain our progress on summer projects has been steady and productive.  We engaged in the painstaking process of scrutinizing the whole snowmaking system, diagnosing the leaks and the inefficient hydrants and valves, and proceeded with extensive repairs.  That process is ongoing and we expect to complete it by the end of September at which time we will have a much tighter and therefore efficient system which will translate into a greater ability to produce snow.  Obviously early season temperatures are a critical element in the equation, but we are hopeful to have an early opportunity to show you all the fruits of our labor when the time comes to make snow.  In addition to our focus on snowmaking we are in the process of repairing the Black Chair which is a complex process.  We are going to do everything in our power to have the Black lift up and running for the beginning of the season in order to compliment the Red Chair.  Finally we have spent a great deal of time mowing and clearing the mountain in order to minimize the amount of snow required to open the trails.  This work will continue throughout the fall with weed wackers covering the abundant steeps where a machine cannot venture.  In sum, it has been a busy summer, and the next few months will continue to provide many tasks in order to prepare the mountain and the systems for the season.

Season passes will go on sale tomorrow, September 1, 2010.  Through October 11, 2010 the prices are as follows:

As we move into fall we are looking forward to our annual volunteer days.  Volunteer days are scheduled for the following Saturdays: September 25th, October 9th, and October 23rd.  These days present an opportunity for the Magic faithful to re-connect with friends and participate in preparing the mountain for the upcoming season.  Last year we accomplished a great deal in terms of glade and trail clearing and painting, and we are hoping that many of you will join us for one or more of the volunteer days.  As the old saying goes, many hands make little work.

The opportunity to invest in Magic's future by joining the Magic Partnership still exists.  We need to sell approximately 110 more shares in order to commence Partnership business and start putting the money to work on the mountain.  For more information about the Partnership, please visit our web-site, and if anyone has any questions, please do not hesitate to call the office to discuss the details.

It should be beautiful in Vermont this fall, so come and visit to hike the mountain and enjoy the foliage.  We look forward to seeing you all soon.
