MAGIC MOUNTAIN, VT

RED CHAIR (HERON-POMA) - Built in 1971 this 5350ft. length double extended the mountain's vertical. It serves as
the main lift on the mountain as it accesses all of the mountains terrain. The lift has one tower, 18a, that was added in 1982
as a depression tower to keep the lift sheltered from the wind. This is a Poma tower.

BLACK LINE QUAD (POMA) - Construction began in the fall of 2019 with the chair set for completion in early 2020. The Black Line Quad replaces
the former Black Chair as one of the two summit lifts on the mountain. The Quad follows a modified line meeting the Red chair summit
This is slightly higher than the Black Chair for better access to both side of the Mountain.
The chair was formerly the Snow Bowl Quad at Stratton from 1986-2018 and was brought across the valley in summer 2018. The chair is a 1986
Alpha model quad and was installed at Magic by Pfister Mountain Services.

GREEN CHAIR (BORVIG) - Originally was going to be named the Phoenix chair. Construction began on this lift in 2003,
The chair finally opened in January 2019 after being completely refurbished and completed by Phister Lift Services using
Magic's in house team. It has provided great intermediate access for the mountain and racers who need access to the Showoff trail.
The chair was originally the Betwixed lift at Stratton manufactured in 1982. Magic originally had a Poma triple chair in this location that
was sold to Berkshire East when the mountain went bankrupt in 1991.

FORMER LIFTS

BLUE DOUBLE (POHLIG) - This 1961 lift is not gone but has been modified as a Triple with Yan chairs and its
mid-station removed. It is the only Pohlig chair built in the United States.

BLACK CHAIR (POHLIG/YAN) - The original Blue chair, a 1961 Pohlig chair was modified in 1986 with Yan triple chairs and other various parts throughout the years.
The lift had one Hall tower and several replacement CTEC sheaves. In its final years the lift was only certified to allow two passengers per chair and was plagued
with mechanical issues. It last ran in during the 2017-18 season and was removed in the summer of 2019 after sitting idle for the 2018-19 season. The Blackline Quad
replaced it though on a modified lift line, terminating near the summit of The Red Chair.
The first two pics show the lift from the first aid building in 1986 just after it was converted to a triple.

T-BAR (HALL) - The T-Bar ran up the showoff trail and was replaced by the Sun Corner Triple in 1987.

MID-MTN TRIPLE (POMA) - aka the Sun Corner Triple built in 1987. This lift was removed when the mountain closed in 1991
and was sold to Berkshire East. Today the partially completed new Green Chair follows the lift line and will hopefully be completed
for 2008-2009. The halfpipe ran up showoff under this lift.

LITTLE DOUBLE (HALL) - This chair was added in 1964 to service beginner terrain. It was sold when the(br) mountain went bankrupt in 1991 to Mt Tom and has yet to be replaced. Not sure where the chair
went once Mt. Tom closed. Please let us know if you know or have any other pictures.

TIMBERSIDE DOUBLE (HALL) - this chair was built in 1972 at the Timber Ridge ski area. This area was
connected to Magic and became Timerside at Magic. Timberside is no longer part of Magic and only part
of the summit remains. You can now ride this lift at Smugglers notch where it is called Mogul Moose's Magic
lift (aptly named as it was a magic lift).
