Vermonter days begin at Magic Mountain
Magic Mountain Ski and Snowboard Resort,Magic has always had a strong following with local Vermonters as a traditional ski area with some of the best natural terrain in the state. To show its support, Magic continues making skiing and riding as affordable as possible for Vermonters who create such a welcoming community for out-of-state visitors during the long Vermont winters. Besides keeping its normal ticket prices below $60 for everyone, Starting this week, Magic will have special Vermonter Days with reduced pricing on all non-holiday Fridays and Sundays.Vermonters can ski all-day Fridays at Magic’s normal half-day weekday rate ($30 for adults) and get lower weekday rates ($39 for adults) on all Sundays (non-holidays).‘Many locals know that Magic is the place to ski on a powder day’, said Jim Sullivan, Magic Mountain’s president. ‘But, in addition, we’re trying to reach out to the local communities on a more regular basis by extending this offer and creating an affordable opportunity for Vermonters to enjoy skiing and snowboarding. We’re hoping that people who haven’t been here in years or have never been here will give us a try. I have no doubt that they will love the mountain and the relaxed, friendly atmosphere.’And, that friendly atmosphere has been helped by improvements made to the new Black Line Brew Pub which offers excellent, affordable local Vermont dining, music and bar-scene at the top of Magic’s base lodge.Magic first opened in 1960 and will be celebrating this season its 50th anniversary of peak to bottom skiing dating from 1962, which to this day, is still one of the most exciting, challenging and authentic Vermont ski experiences. Different than the corporate resorts, Magic has stayed true to the original Vermont ski culture. Magic skiers enjoy a mountain emphasizing natural, diverse ski terrain in an atmosphere of shared camaraderie for the sport both on the slopes and in the lodge after a long, rewarding day. Magic has an authentic vibe because, in reality, it still remains first and foremost a ski area, not a ‘resort’‘and a distinctly Vermont one at that. It’s a community spirit that keeps Magic thriving for those committed ski and riding enthusiasts who want to ‘carve their own trail’ and experience real snow and obstacles that mother-nature puts on the hill. And, it’s why Magic skiers love the mountain so much that they are personally investing in the ski area via The Magic Partnership in order to enhance and preserve it for future generations to enjoy.January 10, 2012, Londonderry, VT
