Greetings from Londonderry,
We are getting back on the snow this weekend! "The Pile" has held up; the groomer is getting warmed up; and, the snow will get spread out on lower Show Off for the annual "Mountain Town Get Down" supporting fundraising for local youth sports programs right here in Londonderry and surrounding towns!
We've got the snow and there are also two great bands lined up for the Alpen Deck--Jatoba and The Weight Band featuring members of The Band and the Levon Helm Band! Gates open at 3pm with a XC racing featuring local Olympians and youth races, with plenty of skiing for anyone after the race on "the pile" following race finals around 5:45pm.
The T-BAR at Show Off will be open and the Tavern will be serving up food and bevies while the music rocks into the mountain side from 4-9pm. Plenty of kids games plus cornhole under the tent--just a good old-fashioned festival of snow, music and sports for the whole family! (The weather does look to improve later in the day, but just dress appropriately and just let the fun takeover!)
Now, is this event the official end of the 24/25 ski season or an early start to 25/26??!
Speaking of which, there is just a couple days left in May to spread your planned 25/26 season pass payments over 7-months with our no interest payment plans. And, our payment plans are also now good for our season-long weekend youth programs for Devo, Alpine Racing and Freeride! So get your young athletes signed up today before prices rise on 6/16. All passes and programs are available in our Magic estore link.
Plus, we only have a couple weeks left for our Tier 1 Early Bird Sale which ends June 15th and saves up to $200/pass on in-season pass rates and $100 over Tier 2 Summer prices. It's go-time if you also want to get those two FREE Friends ticket vouchers with any Adult Unlimited pass purchase--that's worth over $200 and gets your buddies here next season at no added cost as our way of saying thank you for spreading the joy of Magic with an Early Bird purchase by June 15th. Remember, our 25/26 passes are at our 2023 prices because we put Skiers and Riders First!
I'd also like to take this time to welcome our new Food & Beverage Manager, David Goodman, who has a wealth of experience as a chef, food services director, restaurant owner, ski lodge manager, and banquet/catering manager. Dave is already hard at work for our Tavern re-opening on June 26th with a new menu; an upcoming wedding in 3 weeks; and, of course, this Saturday's big event at the Tavern and on the deck! He can't wait to meet everyone when you come visit.
Summer is about to begin and what better way to do it at Magic this weekend with a little snow and a bunch of great music--all for a great cause.
Keeping the soul in skiing!
