Date(s) Skied: 1/8/2011
Resort or Ski Area: Wachusett
Conditions: Loose Granular, Frozen Granular, Fresh Groomed (Smith), and a Sheet of Ice
Trip Report: Fourth outing of the year... Hit up the local hill for some night turns... Arrived around 4:00 when the day shift was leaving. Was actually ski on and off from the summit, with one caveat, the top of Conifer was a sheet of ice (blue see through ice), Smith Walton was icy bumped and 10th was nice soft bumps. I ended up lapping 10th until the groomers came out to clean up smith. Waited for the trail reopen and boom, had some fresh cord to ski as I was the 3rd one down the trail. After spending a few hours there, the crowds began to hit around 6:30 and I took off. Credit to wachusett for getting Smith Walton open and edge to edge. However, they do need to blow more snow on 10th mountain and in general need snow!
