Okemo is reporting 95% open, the Beast is a question mark because of lack of reporting on their web site, but a Beast patroller on another...

    Any other Crotched Midnight Madness Passholders?

    I had so much fun the last two seasons at Wachusett during their 24 hour ski athons that I decided to spring for the Midnight Madness pass at Crotched ($100), as I'm an early bird, and it's only a 40 mile drive. I'm just wondering if there's other folks that are planning on skiing from 9PM - 3AM...
