Sweet 16"

*12-16" of snow graced our mountain from this week's storm making for an awesome weekend ahead!*

Greetings from Londonderry,

The storm hit as predicted from last week's update, with over a foot of fresh snow to help expand trail/glade count from the mid-30s to 50, and have all treeskiing accessible boundary-to-boundary!

While we could all get some fresh turns in last Sunday afternoon, our two private mountain rentals this week got incredibly lucky in terms of the timing of the storm. We would have loved to have a special opening for everyone on Monday, but our early-week bookings of rentals are made over 6-months ago. These rentals are an important source of guaranteed revenue to keep Magic fiscally sound on the weekdays we are are normally closed.

These big storms are pretty rare and our private mountain rental business has grown over the years, so it is essential for us to maintain this opportunity for steady, profitable business (we have 7 more rentals to go with another two next Monday and Wednesday). It puts extra strain on our small staff to service these rentals (and we appreciate them tremendously for all they do!). But, they help this indie ski area stay in business so we can continue to be here each year for our season passholders, Indy pass holders, and ticket buying guests.

If I could control the weather, we'd time a big storm on Friday nights for all of you. But alas, what we can control is this innovative way to generate revenue so Magic can be here consistently for you Thursdays-Sundays, for years to come. This week, we have more of the mountain open with all this new snow when most people who work are able to get here to enjoy it. And, I hope you do. Thank you.

Stay tuned to the website snow report for all the latest as there is colder than average temperatures today (Friday) with some wind chills that delayed the opening of the summit until temps warmed a bit. Saturday and Sunday both look slightly warmer than today, but still very cold in the early morning until the sun comes out. Saturday is already looking like a busy one, so best to get those tickets and reservations in advance.

TICKETS & INDY RESERVATIONS HERE

Reminder for those who already have a Magic RFID card: You do not need to go to the ticket window if you make a new ticket purchase, or Indy reservation, or Throwback Card ticket purchase or redeem a Freedom 4-Pack voucher code. If you use the online ticket system at estore.magicmtn.com, you can go straight to the lift as the purchase, reservation or redemption will be automatically loaded onto your existing Magic RFID card to save you time and reduce lines at the window!
