are they charging full price yet, I'm trying to decide on where to go tomorrow and wether or not to go for a full day, Wa is probably closest to me, but Crotched isn't that much different, maybe a couple more minutes, definitely not interested in
Wa if they are charing 49 for half the mountain though, couldn't find anything on their site
thanks in advance

No worries.

I was hoping to get up there tomorrow...but I've got a shopping event in the AM, an wake in the afternoon...and with the weather getting "good" after dark....I prolly won't be driving.

Ah well....it's early yet.

Wa is cheaper than Crotched right now, but Crotched has MUCH better conditions. Wa is mostly WROD trails, Crotched's snow cover is edge-to-edge. I was at Wa Thursday night and at Crotch Friday night, and the difference is unbelievable. I got more actual skiing done in 3 hours at Crotched than in 4 days at Wa in November (yes... I got out 5 times in November this year - that's a record!)

You must not have skied the same Wachusett as me on Thursday night... Is it edge to edge? Not everywhere. But is it a WROD? Certainly not.

ended up going to Wa today and had a good time, just needed to get some time in my boots since having Jeff fit them for me, got about 12-13 runs in, only skied a half day, felt good to start getting some of my form back though, legs are a little sore tonight but not bad, I thought the conditions were pretty good for this early, started to scratch up in the afternoon a little but not to the point where edging was impossible, worth the trip anyhow

Less vertical drop with slower lifts and you got four times the skiing in a Crotched?

HA!
