Wachusett 12/14 Night

[xlr8r]

First time out for the season after a long day at work. Skied from 6:30 to 9:00. Did 12 laps off of Minuteman alternating between Ralph's and Challenger. First time out on my new boots too, so a lot of time thinking, tweaking, and adjusting was devoted to them. So far no major issues with the boots.

Ralph's- Top 2/3's in good shape with near edge to edge cover. Lower third crowded and scratchy.

Challenger- Top third in good shape, a bit scratchy below NASTAR start house, very narrow icy funnel at bottom. A lot less crowded than Ralph's.

The new Moncadnock looks ready to go, they were testing it a bit. No sign of any action on Polar or any of the summit runs.

The place should be a train wreck this weekend with only 2 narrow trails open.

no to mention $20 lift tickets (and some rain last night). Avoid Wachusett this weekend if you have any sanity.

I've gone on a few Saturday evenings that weren't too crazy...

Early season Saturdays are usually pretty good. Once Christmas hits avoid Saturdays at all costs!
