My friends and I seldomly venture anywhere else. Why should we,the steeps,and glades are some of the best in vermont! Couple that with affordable lift tickets,light crowds and great atmosphere and you can't go wrong!

I love this mountain! I hope they save it and upgrade the lifts and the grooming...as good as any in southern Vermont. We had the place practically to ourselves....very underated mountain. True vertical is very close to Killington (which is not 3k but more like 1800 feet---despite what they claim)

This mountain has the best terrain in lower VT, posibly the whole state. If there is 6 or more inches of snow, you'd be crazy to go anywhere else. If your an expert skier, do yourself a favor and check out magic, I'll be back next storm.

This place is really magic! The best mountain I've been to so far.
Zero crowds, and a small intimate feel to this mountain. There's a great variety of terrain here, from glades, moguls, powder runs (my favorite) to long sweeping trails to take a break on, or for beginners.
I'll be sure to come back here - the price on Liftopia for a full day is unheard of anywhere. Definitely worth the long drive up from NYC, nothing else close compares to Magic Mountain!

Magic Mountain is a great place. Few crowds, awesome trails and a sense of discovery.

One ride up the red chair lift at magic and you will understand why people love magic. Steep, double fall lines, trees, mandatory cliff drops, oh yeah and an entire chairlift full of people waiting to see you rip it!

My first time at Magic on Jan 17th 2011 and I loved it. If you are looking for something a little different this is the place. I've skied all over New England and haven't encountered such terrain outside of Mad River, but novices will have as much fun as experts. It's a bit different, a bit less expensive, a bit more interesting, and seriously fun.

Roots skiing with great people. I think nothing of hopping in the car and making the trek from Essex County, MA as often as possible. Long live Magic!

No snowmaking and so no crowds. Great for skiers..

Great place, great vibe. Learning that it is a great place to raise a family of ripping skiers.
Long live Magic, VT!

Love Magic Mountain, amall but challenging, close parking and no need to take a shuttle bus, you won't spend all your time searching for your ski buddies. We stay at the Blue Gentian Lodge in easy walking distance, very cheap@

I've skied everywhere in Vermont, and there's no place I'd rather be than Magic. Plenty of room for novices, some wide-open runs to bomb from top-to-bottom, and some of the most incredible steeps and narrow chutes in the state. If you like the overpriced, Disney World atmosphere of Stratton, Killington, and Okemo, stick to that. Conversely, if you enjoy the subtle pretentiousness of MRG and the animosity they create between riders and skiers, by all means, stay there. But if you want a true, laid-back Vermont experience--where skiers and riders tear it up side-by-side along with telemarkers, monoskiers, sit-skiers, skinners, and anything else you can imagine--then check out Magic!
