Next up-- terrain park features. https://nh.craigslist.org/spo/d/terrain-park-features-for-sale/6769275012.html

If you haven't found any yet, just saw a posting on CL near Sudbury. 67cm skis, recent. They are girly, not sure if that matters. https://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/spo/d/youth-skis-ski-boots-helmets/6760541957.html

Any guesses/ previous experience with how busy it will be on Black Friday for skiing?

I noticed some discrepancies between the trail map and the trail descriptions yesterday, so asked Wawa about it. (They have Piece of Cake as a green, and a new green run listed.) They replied that they are still fine tuning the new website. The park will be on Frannie's Folly and Hitchcock this year, with Piece of Cake being a regular blue run. The newly named run, Shenanigans, follows the lift line under the Vickery Triple and is also blue.

And the Senior and Junior pass prices stay the same all season, they didn't go up when the rest did. The GPS price for both is $10 less than regular pricing.

I'm debating renewing mine through the home school group my daughter skied with last year or through your group. Are you close to any incentive levels where my joining through your GPS would help?

As long as you are close to the store, it is worth going in for a look. I find that they have slightly different things in store than online (perhaps the items that they have less of?). Just got some Burton mitts in the Newton store that aren't online. They had a good sized stock of both goggles and helmets there too this week. It's good to look online first if you have a coupon code, but just because you don't see stuff online doesn't mean they don't have some in store.

When you say affordable, what kind of budget are you looking at? My basement currently has a Rossi Experience 80, 176cm, I think '15 model. (There's also an Armada THall, 171cm, but it doesn't sound like he's looking for a park ski.)

Curious-- what length are they?

Got that email too. So they are shooting to open on Black Friday? Looks like it is time to open another "permanent" tab on my computer with the Wachusett 10 day forecast to keep an eye on things.

And it doesn't look like they plan on downhill again any time soon- just saw this posting on CL https://nh.craigslist.org/for/d/snowmaking-utility-pump-motor/6734789152.html

Poke, poke. Guess who wants to win some new skis ?

The regular Gold, Silver, and Bronze pass prices go up after tomorrow, but the GPS price doesn't go up until Nov. 14. Also, previous years you could get the lower price still at the Ski Show. From what I can tell on the Wawa site the Senior and Junior pass prices don't go up. Still, always good to be aware of the deadlines.
