Got over to Wachusett for the day session to redeem my voucher for buying 4 bags of Popchips. Got to the base at 8:30 and was a bit surprised that the lifts were not running yet. It turns out that they are not officially spinning them until 9 am midweek now as we are into spring hours, but it was no biggie as they were letting people on beginning at 8:45 am and I was ready to go at 8:50 am. The day started with some frozen granular in less exposed areas with soft snow right out of the gate in more exposed areas. Though, what was frozen generally warmed up by 11 am. The trails served by the Minuteman lift looks like they are shot, so I ended up skiing Tenth Mountain Trail and Smith Walton for much of the day as I skied all day just to make the most of this warm weather and the fact that it may very well be my last day for this season as I'll be busy with other commitments. There's a lot of doubt that Wachusett will make it past the end of this week/the weekend. My opinion is they will probably have to push around snow such as from a few spots in the Minuteman lift area and the trails from Vickery Bowl, including one that is relatively inaccessible, to last more than that as they can generally take snow from a few areas to at least keep a few trails off the Polar Express a bit longer than the end of this coming weekend.
