Magic Mountain, Vermont
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Magic Mountain is a ski resort near Londonderry, Vermont. It features a 1,600-foot vertical drop. The summit is at 3,000 feet and the base at 1,300 feet. Magic offers a combination of terrain, but is known as a pretty steep mountain. Magic has a long history and much of the base and Slopeside homes and condos date from the 1960's, although many have been renovated in that time. Having experienced a multi-year closure in the 1990s, multiple owners, and existing in the shadow of family-friendly Bromley Mountain and corporate-owned Stratton Mountain, Magic has struggled in recent years to stay afloat. Most recently, while some resorts touted multi-million-dollar projects, Magic bragged that it has painted some lift towers and its base lodge. However, for all the setbacks and underwhelming accomplishments, many hard-core skiers prize Magic's steep trails and lack of crowds.
