Wachusett 2/27/08

Date(s) Skied: Wednesday Night 2/27/08

Resort or Ski Area: Wachusett Mountain, MA

Conditions: Death cookies. Everywhere.

Trip Report:

One of my worst trips to far this season tonight. Even worse than the night me and Austin were there 2 weeks ago. Won't bore you too much, so here's the trail-by-trail:

Conifer: Golf balls on the side and scraped in the middle. Still probably the best trail from the top, but that's not saying much.

10th: Golf balls, death cookies, death trap for that matter. It was either 3" deep death cookies or scraped off. The bumps had decent lines but were just frozen solid and I couldn't even make it past 3 or 4 without messing up.

Smith: Very scraped early, didn't even bother hitting it later on. Not as many cookies as 10th, but still a lot. Polar Express was in full speed with a short line early, then ski on after 6.

Look Ma: Took 2 runs through the park which was full of idiots. Everything is still the same except for the now missing C-Box. The halfpipe is so damn small after coming back from Mount Snow and it currently has grooves cemented into the walls. Minuteman had lines up to 5 minutes in full speed.

Well, that's all I have for this one. Only skied 1:45. I'll be back Friday 4 PM to 8 AM and then Okemo next Friday.

It wasn't too bad towards the end of the night when some light snow was coating the trails. Though I did take a magnificent face plant after taking a small jump in the park the wrong way. And the drive back to Boston was fun too with the blowing and drifting snow.
