SkiMangoJazz 33 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Skied this morning with @hrstrat57 for 2 ½ hours. Great start to the season. Some lift issues at first, but the skiing was great. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kdaffy 52 Posted February 4 Author Report Share Posted February 4 After a lengthy delay to my season start due to a broken heel, made it out to wachusett for day one on Saturday. Good coverage given the weather...felt like spring skiing almost. It's amazing how much snow they are able to make. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MassNerd 48 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Glad to hear you are back on the slopes KDaffy! A few cold nights over the past week. I'm sure Wawa's been blowing snow. They needed too as the surface was in bad shape last week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kdaffy 52 Posted October 1 Author Report Share Posted October 1 Never to early, right? I've bought our family passes again for this year and looking forward to regularly heading to wachusett as a respite from WFH and COVID in general. I'm hearing that they will likely limit season ticket sales, so if you were considering one for this season, I would suggest getting on that. Both @MassNerdand I have groups that you can take advantage of, so feel free to DM either of us for info. I'll give preference to @MassNerd as he has been doing this for the forum longer than I. I believe his group name is "Cennedy". I'm really looking forward to this season as last year was shot on my end having broken my heel and only getting 6 days on the slopes before the season came to an end. I've been out to Wachusett a few times and it looks like they are taking good precautions but, despite my efforts, wasn't able to get much info out of the mountain reps as to what the season will look like. Hopefully no injuries this year, and I'll be able to meet up for some turns. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SkiMangoJazz 33 Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 I too have my passes, I'm in the Cennedy group. Can't wait. Weekday mornings for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MassNerd 48 Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 Thanks for the mention @kdaffy! It's been a while since I checked in. Watching a ski movie now (Steep) as I dream of snow for the upcoming season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SkiMangoJazz 33 Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 Wachusett announced on Instagram and also on their home page that season passholders will not require a reservation to ski, and also that they are limiting the number of passes they sell. They said they've already sold out of the new Steel pass. Get your passes soon if you plan on skiing there this year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SkiMangoJazz 33 Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 Looking online now and there are no GPS passes available, and for regular passes only the Gold is available at this time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ski-kiki 16 Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 I just took a look, and it looks like Bronze and Weekender are still available as well as the Gold, for both regular and GPS. The Bronze youth pass is sold out, but if needed you could just buy an adult Bronze for a little more. All the same, I'm glad I didn't procrastinate this year. Normally I wait until close to the ski show to buy, or through a home school program. But with no ski show, and no guarantee of school groups, I went with the safe bet and got the early bird pricing. Definitely buy now if you are considering Wachusett this season. The Silver sold out since just this morning. Also, they are offering full credit or deferral until opening day.

kdaffy 52 Posted October 7 Author Report Share Posted October 7 update, only passes currently available are sr. gold and sr. bronze. that window closed fast, but on a positive note, it sounds like pass holders will have full access to the mountain with restrictions on day passes.

Ski-kiki 16 Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 Oddly enough adult Bronze and adult Gold are still showing as available with GPS. Possibly an oversight, but as long as it is on the site... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SkiMangoJazz 33 Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 (edited) Senior Gold and Senior Bronze GPS and Senior Gold not GPS are the only passes available online right now. None of the other products GPS or not can be added to the cart. Edited October 10 by SkiMangoJazz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SkiMangoJazz 33 Posted November 8 Report Share Posted November 8 Getting close. The warmth will probably hold them off until close to or just after Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving used to be a very common opening day. I'm hoping for enough outdoor heaters and storage that on a weekday morning I don't have to boot up at the car.

kdaffy 52 Posted November 18 Author Report Share Posted November 18 guns are on this morning...not sure if they are just testing, but looks like the little hill that could is trying to get the season going as soon as possible: https://www.wachusett.com/The-Mountain/Media-Center/Web-Cams.aspx 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kdaffy 52 Posted November 20 Author Report Share Posted November 20 im planning on heading out tomorrow - will post up on conditions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SkiMangoJazz 33 Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 I skied yesterday morning from 9-11 and going back early this morning. Conditions were very good for the first day. I didn't go up Conifer, always give them a second day of grooming on that trail. Ralphs was very nice, fairly wide coverage, narrow runoff at the bottom. Hardly anyone there, so no liftline/COVID issues. Lodge closed completely. A few porta potties outside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really question the strategy of closing indoor bathrooms meanwhile opening a few porta potties. Maybe if the bathrooms are in a basement it and down a narrow hallway it could help but other than that, seams like your reducing social distancing by increasing the likelihood of using the bathroom rite after someone else. And isn't washing our hands under running water much better than hand sanitizer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SkiMangoJazz 33 Posted Monday at 08:17 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:17 PM I don't think that this is the long term plan, I think it might only have been for those 3 days, they may just not be quite ready inside yet. I think they'll be operating at reduced capacity inside, but still will be open. Yes the portapotty needs a powerful ventillator fan to be any safer than the bathroom. Airborne.
