Posted: Mar 19, 2003 - 7:00 PM GMT They're a lot of talk about improvements at Magic for next season. With several lifts ready to be installed, (and a better season this year for skier visits). It seems likely we'll see another chair (or 2?) for next season. There's also a rumour about a surface lift being installed. If this is true, we will absolutely need to christen it with eclairs (Poma or T-bar). Maybe we can webcast the event for IBRAKE? edited by: sledhaulingmedic, Mar 19, 2003 - 01:32 PM[addsig] __________ "Don't piss off the locals, Don't make work for the patrol" |

Posted: Mar 19, 2003 - 7:18 PM GMT Interesting rumor I have seen the lift components in the parking lot The story I heard was a lift from the base near the red chair to Sunrise Corner was going in which would help novices and lower intermediates better negotiate terrain. A surface lift or chair in the beginner area would make Magic have a great learning area away from the tubers and the likes of me bombing back to the lifts across Video Blvd. Doesn't Baba Louis have good eclairs (provided you are talking baked goods)?[addsig] |

Posted: Mar 19, 2003 - 11:38 PM GMT Baba Louis' might just do the trick. The lift to sunshine corner is one scenario. Replacing the beginner lift, possible heading higher than originally, possibly up onto Lower Talisman. The surface lift rumours were so varied, they seem rather unlikely. I'd love to see something open some new terrain (not that I'm bored with what weve got!)[addsig] __________ "Don't piss off the locals, Don't make work for the patrol" |

Posted: Mar 20, 2003 - 12:29 AM GMT Does anyone else out there think that running a new lift from the base to Sunshine Corner (i.e. same alignment as the old Mid-Mountain Triple circa 1987-1991) would be a mistake? The old Poma triple lift always seemed to be poorly utilized and dumped beginners onto that oft-icy section at the beginning of Wand where it heads into the intersection/merge with Trick, Twilight Zone, and Goniff. Wouldn't it make more sense to run the lift straight up the Showoff trail from the base and terminating at Wand (where there is currently a race start shack), giving direct access to Kinderspiel, Showoff, Carumba, and just a short stretch of Wand into Video Boulevard? To me I always hated basically skiing from the top of the Mid-Mtn lift down Wand every time just to get to those trails... Also, I always thought that Mystery and Vertigo (the 2 trails that were served by the old triple but wouldn't be served by an alternate routing) ski better as part of a top-to-bottom cruising run rather than a short mid-mountain-lift-to-bottom run, anyway. - Jon [addsig] |

Posted: Mar 20, 2003 - 3:50 AM GMT It's a nice thought, but it would cut down the trails served too much to be worth it, IMHO. Since you mentioned the cruising aspect, I've always hated that Trick and Mystery weren't a continuous run. Too much cross traffic though. It will never happen.[addsig] __________ "Don't piss off the locals, Don't make work for the patrol" |
