Mountain Profile: Magic Mountain

Want to visit a truly old fashioned mountain?  Then head up to Vermont and board down Magic Mountain, where the air is fresh, the water is clean, and the mountain has a sick base of snow almost all of the time.  Being one of the oldest mountains and is considered one of Vermont’s unspoiled mountains.  With it’s re-opening in 1997, Magic Mountain has made improvements every year to the terrain and overall atmosphere of the mountain itself.

The mountain was developed in the 1960s by a Swiss man named Hans Thorner who was a film producer who wanted to bring the beauty of the Swiss alps to Vermont.  What sets Magic Mountain aside from all the other mountains is that it’s able to maintain that small resort feeling that usually is lost at most other crowded resorts.  It’s certainly a refresher to not have to wait in long lines and hop onto the slopes and ride all day.

Although the mountain is certainly geared towards intermediate and expert riders, beginners are to be assured they will not be left out.  The resort prides itself on grooming and snow making, making it easier for the boarders to learn and adapt to the terrain.  Magic also prides itself on its learning and development programs for every level rider.

But say you don’t want to board that day, say you’d rather just sit down and enjoy a nice leisure fly down a hill.  Well Magic Mountain is also your place.  With their AlaKazam tubing park, anyone can hop on and take a cruise down the mountain, sitting on your rump.

If you’re ever in Vermont, but want to try a different mountain, head over to Magic Mountain and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by everything from the lodging to the terrain.  Happy boarding.
