Been there today and to my dispointment sad to see its closed  There was just a sign up saying closed till further notice hope it opens again soon I love that place after buying a new Sprayway Cipher gore-tex jacket for £20 just because it was missing one press stud a quarter of the way up.

 Whaaaaaaaaaa!  There was a time when you could get some great Mountain Equipment gear at vastly reduced prices. ME sold their seconds and sample gear from here. They even ran a website at one stage. The last few years I've been going there, occasionally, they had less and less good ME gear and offers.  What a shame. Wonder why they are closed?  Nodrog.

The closure of Magic Mountain is strictly temporary, whilst we carry out stock-checks and have a general Autumn tidy-up. It should be open again later in the week. Richard Talbot - Product Manager- Mountain Equipment

 I have visited Magic Mountain in Glossop on numerous occassions.Nine times out of ten there has been nothing there to tempt me to part with my money.However,over the years I have picked up many a bargain-Dragonfly tent £100,Astron Hoody £60,Xero down Jacket £60,Sprayway windblock Fleece £5(Zip broken but easilly replaced)Sprayway paclite overtrousers with full length zips £20,Lightline Duvet Jacket £80 to name but a few.I can only hope that the shop reopens again very soon as a trip to Glossop without calling at Magic Mountain just won't be the same.

Is Magic Mountain open again?

 I came past this evening at 8pm. It was too late for the shop to be open, but it didn't appear to be permanently closed. It has steel shutters so a bit difficult to tell, but there was a notice about opening hours and nothing about being closed for good. Their phone number is 01457 854424 according to the sign. The car park was a great empty icy skidpan tonight. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee  I'll try to look in when I next go past on New Year's Eve.

I live in Glossop and I havent noticed it being open since October. Not sure whats happning I know its run by the Outdoor & Sports Co Ltd same people who run Sprayway/ME/Ronhill and they have a office in the next town over in Hyde so maybe there planing a outlet shop over there instead.

I have tried phoning them a couple of times but no reply.Looks like they are closed at the present time.It remains to be seen if they will reopen.

I called by at 2.30 this afternoon. Sadly, every bit as closed as it was on Monday night. The icy skidpan car park had melted away too, but the drive over Woodhead was gorgeous - kicking myself once more for not having my camera with me!

 Something is definately going on. I called about 2 weeks ago, closed, with a small piece of paper showing opening times - closed Mondays. I checked their website, it was a 5 page text based site, very simple. Just checked it now, its changed showing Under Construction, check back soon = Phone 01457 854424 or email magicmountain@ronhill.com Web address is: http://www.magic-mountain.co.uk/

I have since found out they (Outdoor & Sports Co Ltd) had a two day sale at there Redfern Mill offices in Hyde in Dec, cant believe I missed it was probably all the stock from Magic Mountain and maybe even more. Doesn't look like Magic Mountain is going to reopen they might just hold these factory sales once or twice a year instead.

Bump... I take it that nothing has changed?
|
|
Has anyone heard if ME are planning a summer sale at they're Hyde Warehouse? Guessing Magic Mountain isnt opening again.... Have emailed ME through they're website and also the email on the MM website but they havn't responsed.

I called at the former home of Magic Mountain today 14/09/10 only to find the place closed, a new sign over the shop said 'Horsebox' or similar, I am very sad to see this place go, yes it was rather scruffy over the last couple of years, but still bargins to be found if you looked hard (and it was getting harder). On my last visit, which does not seem that long ago, I bought a Spray way Goretex for £10, it took me all of 20 seconds to repair the vip. I also bought 2 Firewalker Sleeping Bags for £5 each, absolutly nothing wrong with them. I don't think that the last lot of staff were doing the place much good, they seemed to treat all the customers in that day, as something of a nuisance, we seemed to be keeping them from their coffee and toast, not like the staff they had previously, who were very very helpful

Shame......................... . They were so good for real bargain ME gear! And other stuff. My question is: Will Mountain Equipment be doing seconds or samples elsewhere?
