kdaffy 55 Posted January 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Website still says 10pm as did the morning snow report. I'm aiming to get there around 6pm to ski with a couple friends. I wear a Grey, blue, maroon parka with grey helmet. Or find me at the bar at some point in the evening after a couple hours skiing. Wearing a grey and orange shirt. Say hi if you see me!Asked a few people with grey helmets and maroon in their jackets if they weree massnerd...got some funny reactions... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MassNerd 48 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Haha! I should have told you my real name (Brian) to make the asking less awkward! Skiing was amazing last night. Smith was very nice. Taking the left off upper Smith, going past hole in the wall and over to the mid mountain triple is where the powder stash always is at night. Skied under the triple in untouched powder. Glorious light fluffy powder! After the polar express closed, Challenger and Look Ma had lots of powder to the far left. The wind just kept filling in the tracks with more snow! What a night! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kdaffy 55 Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Anyone been since the thaw? How are the conditions? I'll likely be up Thursday night Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SkiMangoJazz 36 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Haven't but will be this morning. I would think Thursday night will be great with the snow coming. They've been cranking out snow. I skied at Berkshire East this weekend and they were in very good shape and also got rained on. Wachusett can recover fast even without natural snow. I may actually be there Thursday night as well. My avatar shows my current coat and helmet. Will be on Stockli white SC's skiing off the MM lift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kdaffy 55 Posted January 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Moguls are seeded on 10th! Mountain is skiing great and as usual the snowmaking this week really made up for most of the damage from the rain. Unfortunately no smj sighting... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MarzNC 51 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 We talked to the Parlor guys briefly today. Easy to spot because a couple of them were wearing bright red Parlor jackets. One boarder and three on different types of skis. Hadn't heard of Parlor before. Wide twin tips carving down a groomed trail . . . gives a funny impression. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
