"Great vibes, great community. The folks running Magic are doing it right. This is our mountain for meeting up with family and friends and we always have so much fun. Grateful for independently-owned spots that care about the joy of skiing."

"Kent was an amazing instructor! First time for my kiddo and while it was a blizzard up there he enjoyed learning. If I had packed heated socks he probably would have enjoyed it more. The lodge was nice and friendly. The food is amazing and the hot coco was delish! We will be back for sure!"

"Great place to have some snow fun! The staff is very helpful! Not stuffy. They are also very kid friendly and willing to help out! Owned by local folk so you don't have to deal with the corporate mess!"

"Love this place! The snow is absolutely perfect around this time of the year. The trails are not packed at all which make it one of my key choices when I'm going boarding. With easy access from Twin Falls, it's roughly an hour away. Definitely worth the drive. Mostly expert trails, but there are a couple beginner trails. Tons of freestyle terrain as well."

"The tubing and runs were great! Lines were also really short even on a holiday weekend. The only recommendation would be to have the parking lot plowed before open so fewer people have to get pushed out."

"Very family friendly mountain!! The Magic carpet is great for beginners young and old to learn to ski. The tubing hill is something your won’t find anywhere else! They have a cable that pulls you up to the top of the tubing hill so you don’t have to hike up. My kids love it! Best of all it’s right next to the lodge so we can go in and warm up with some of their yummy food. The Magic mountain..."

"Great small mountain, local ski resort. Single chair lift and a small bunny hill with a magic carpet plus rentals and an awesome hill just for tubing! The price is just right for the size of the mountain. The trails are fun and varied but only a few for beginners. They offer food in the lodge but haven't tried it to know the quality. 10 out of 10, would ride again!"
