Hit Magic on Saturday hoping it would deliver some powder a few days after the storms and it did. The mountain had done more grooming than I like on some of the Black Diamond trails with a groomed swath on the likes of Talisman, Heart of the Magician and Broomstick. The groomed snow skied like silk chiffon and was wonderful. Blue bird skiy, sun, warm temps and not much wind.

Lots of powdery bumps in Twilight Zone, Lucifer, Sorcerer, and skiers right of Talisman. There were still powder shots on the sides of many trails and some of the wider spaced trees.

Magic had a good crowd and both the black and red chairs ran. The skier traffic made some of the steepr lines get thin later in the day: Sorcerer and the headwall on Lucifer come to mind.

What a fabulous ski day.
 
You didn't mention the glades. Did you get there? Goniff Glade and the one next to it should have been awesome. How was Redline holding up?
 
Sharon, Twilight Zone and Goniff are the two glades on the trail map. Twilight Zone had better coverage than Goniff for what ever reason. Red Line was skiable, but the big headwall had been scraped clean to ice, moss and rocks.

The only comment I make about the off map glades, lots of untracked.
