There’s an original Vermont skiing-first spirit at Magic, born over 50 years ago, but now renewed. Magic connects deeply with those who come here for two big reasons: its awesome terrain and its authentic community vibe. It’s why Magic not only endures but now offers skiers and riders a true alternative to today’s corporate-style resorts.
Magic is a mecca for skiers and riders who want to challenge themselves on its legendary expert trails and off-piste glades. These are real black diamonds, with real snow, real steeps, and real obstacles to overcome. Magic’s original 1960s-style trails deliver an interesting and fun experience at all ability levels.
It’s Magic’s skiers and riders who create a spirited community like no other. It’s a laid-back, friendly vibe where friends and families commune at the Black Line Tavern to tell stories; where volunteers pitch in to help clear trails and create new glades; where many have invested in Magic’s future; and where new winter friends are made every season.
