Yes, I haven't really left home yet, but my Bronze Pass is getting a workout!

We skied in the New Year at Wachusett last night- well, my best friend did. I took a couple of runs and had a catastrophic failure of a ski boot. The boot split at the lower buckle, and then I couldn't keep my foot under me. All the duct tape in the world won't fix this. I guess it's time to take a hit in the pocketbook and go find some new boots.

Anyway, the snow was awesome! It was cold, it was fast, and it was fun. When the wind picked up, it was enough to slow you down! The fireworks were awesome, and then we headed into the lodge for an adult-type hot chocolate before the trip home. They had a great band playing in the Coppertop Lounge too! Crowds were a bit thin due to the cold, but that meant no lift lines.

Happy New Year all!

How is Stratton hlofing up? Big Crowds at gondi? I'm considering tomorrow and Tuesday.
Sorry for not checking previously... Stratton was OK Thursday, but I wasn't. I didn't dress properly and got sick.
The upper mountain never opened, which was probably good for me. However, what annoys me is that their Snow Report said they planned to spin all of their lifts, then were informing people once arriving the lift wouldn't run. Had we known that ahead of time, we might not have bothered going at all.

Crowds were low with it being Thursday and super cold.

Crowds were down at Killington yesterday too with the cold and it being New Year's Day. I think it was even colder than Thursday, but we dressed better yesterday for it.

Maybe the coldest ski day of my life. We were gonna go out again Sunday when we saw that the mercury was going up to about 10 degrees, but the day started at -20, and Stratton didn't have the upper mountain open as of ~9:30 AM. Sleeping in, room service breakfast in bed, and a leisurely drive home stopping at Hudson Valley Brewery and Suarez Family Brewing seemed like a better decision. PacNW this weekend and big snow is coming!
