LONDONDERRY-  Long a key element of Ski Magic LLC’s five-year strategic plan, Magic Mountain Ski Area has gained Vermont state permitting approval for doubling the size of its snowmaking pond. It will be expanded to approximately nine million gallons while taking the pond “off stream” to help create a better aquatic environment for downstream fish. The permit also allows the intake of water from the Thompsonburg Brook along Route 11 for pond replenishment.
The snowmaking pond and stream work will begin later this summer and will be completed before the winter.
