Yeah, unless they groom, you won't be able to ski :)
I'm sort of joking but not really. Good many years ago when I lived in Buffalo, I managed to be at one of the ski areas south of Buffalo called Kissing Bridge. I was there when they got really pummeled by one of their famous lake effect snows. Some their slopes are really shallow, so when I skied off the groomed part of the trail to where the snow was untouched, you really could not make a turn or you would stop. Even when pointing skis straight down the fall line, you could hardly have any forward progress.

My kid has a HS race there TH. Took a little time off work to watch, and happened to bring my ski stuff home from ski house...hmm... Tix prices are outrageous for what you get so may not be worth it. 10 turns, lift, 10 turns, lift lol.

Just checked - $43...I'll pass lol

Just drove past the mighty Nashoba last night lit up in all her glory. I give them props, I got to ski it once with a buddy of mine who used teach there. They were having a ski school end of season party on a sunny warm Sunday. Great time with drinks on the deck and lapping soft moguls on ( Wardance?).

It appears they are letting a section bump up. They just groomed the sides and run out.

So is that picture pretty much the entire vert? It looks even smaller than Bradford which I didn't think was possible!!!

Yes, that's pretty much all of Nashoba. I do the night league races there, so I've been there more often than I care to admit.

I get to practice skiing bumps on slalom race skis on Tuesday! Should be fun. :)

Hahaha of course Nashoba gets 3' and they groom it all. still fresh snow!

If they didn't groom it out, you wouldn't be able to move. The top is pretty flat, there's enough pitch for maybe two turns in deep snow.

I was there on Tuesday night for race league... it's so soft that we were laying down trenches that were easily an inch deep without even trying.
