Date(s) Skied: Thursday, 11/29/07 (Night)

Resort or Ski Area: Wachusett Mountain, MA

Conditions: Wet Granular... pretty good... had some rain earlier but temped stayed in the 30s so no big freeze

Trip Report:

After contemplating whether to go today or not as the rain fell earlier, the sun came out around 4 and I decided to head up. Left around 4:45 and clicked in at 5:30. No one at the meeting spot, but after 2 runs I spotted Austin and Marc from the lift. I waited at the bottom and met them there. A little past 7, we were joined by Wa-loaf and WJenness.

I skied Conifer once before meeting Austin and Marc, then spent the rest of the night on 10th with them. There were various kickers along the side of the trail that we hit (they were doing 180s and spread eagles.. I was windmilling behind them like an idiot lol). The conditions were pretty nice with good wet granular and almost spring snow. Snowmaking weather returns tomorrow. Wa's done a great job so far this year... having 10th open in November is unheard of.

Very fun 3 1/2 hours tonight. Nice meeting some new people. I'll be back up next Thursday (seems like it may become the "weekly" day for us).

Very cool. Nicely done. Glad it did not freeze up.

Yes, nice to finally meet some AZers in the flesh (well they were wearing ski clothes). Just did laps on 10th all night with a few spread eagles and 180's thrown in. Marc has really mastered the 90! :razz: W.Jenness did a great job keeping up considering it was only like his 12th time out skiing.

Cool! Glad you guys met up. 90, huh? :lol:

 

[Marc]

Cool! Glad you guys met up. 90, huh? :lol:

Actually, I like to call that my 1/2 pi radians.

 

[WJenness]

I had a good time last night... Got in three laps on Conifer and one on 10th before I met up with you guys... It was nice to get a couple tips on my skiing and meet some new folks.

Yeah WJenness... you did look good for only having skied a few times in your life. Heck, you landed a couple of those jumps better than Marc on that last kicker.

Can't wait for next week... might be some great snow with the storm coming. We don't need Okemotivation when we have a powder night at Wachusett. Maybe we can poach Smith.
