THE ALPINE UPDATE

Drone shot of Magic's East Side from yesterday!

Greetings from Londonderry,

As promised last week, our fearless snowmakers have been firing on all cylinders, when temperatures allow, to speed recovery from a couple r**n events. We re-started snowmaking up at the summit to get a snowmaking way down Upper Magic Carpet for this Saturday with the Quad running! We are also opening the Nelson Family Learning Area this weekend for ski and snowboard lessons after snow has been made there. Mother-nature also kicked in with a fresh 4" up top yesterday.

The temperatures are going to be awesome for snowmaking right into Christmas so Magic will be all dressed up and ready-to-go for our 11-Day holiday stretch from 12/26 through 1/5! 

Thank you to our operations and patrol teams for making some Magic happen.

Here's a brief video on youtube as we kicked off "Operation Drain the Pond"
