Wachusett this weekend???

[teachski]

I'm thinking of maybe hitting Wachusett this weekend. It is supposed to open from what I know. The thing is, I have NEW skis. I do have my Bandits too, but I would really like to try out skis in my new length and cut. I've heard that they got ALL new rentals this year,but I don't think that I want to go that route. How about Demo's? What ski is closest to say a Volkl 6 star? Does anyone know?

I don't want to ruin my new ones, they are known for having small rocks and stuff showing.

has it been cold enough at Wawa for them to blow snow? i've been worried whether it's been cold enough for cannon to blow snow for a friday opening, let alone central MA, lol.

i wouldn't bring your new skis out if i were you. at least, i'm not bringing mine out for cannon's first day. okay, MAYBE i'll bring both and verify a solid base on my older skis, then sample the goods.

why do a demo if you just bought a new pair... unless you are looking to buy another ski for the quivver... seems like a waste of money. just relegate your other skis to "rock ski" status and you're all set. :wink:

Things can turn around quickly. But I was hking on Wachusett on Monday and there was barely enough snow around to make a decent snowman. It's cold tonite...perhaps things will improve. Their plan was to open on Friday. If I see any signs of it, I'll post here on Thursday. I'm leaving on Friday for a 3 day backpack.

i heard December 8, at the earliest. They definately will not open this weekend with more rain in the forecast

It's rock-ski season until the first major dump, for sure. However, demo-ing skis is always a good option......
