Yeah thats a pretty sick deal, can't lie. If i was still in the city there's no way I wouldn't be there lol.
A friend of mine also has an on property house at sunapee with an open door, so that's a pretty clutch incentive.

WAWA eh! yep its fun...Live in NH so not far and usually decent! I trained some snowboard patrol peeps from there. So I know we'll sure to be taken care of.

The problem with Wachusetts is that there is a high theft rate of snowboards ----400/yr reported to the police. My son's was stolen yesterday and unfortunately we did not know about the free lock-up because they don't have it posted where you buy the tickets. The operations manager insisted it was posted but it is not. Most likely the regulars know about it. Their surveillance camera showed it being stolen but the camera pictures were very gritty and exact ID not possible. Our's was not the only one stolen that day. This is just a reminder to make sure your children's boards/ski's are secured and all ski resorts should be providing free lock-up since you are paying for admission.

Sorry to hear that happened. But with all due respect, it is YOUR responsibility to keep your stuff safe. That is why you lock your front door when you go to work, lock your car door when you leave it, and lock-up you skis / snowboard when you go into the lodge. It is not managment's fault for not properly notifying you that they offer free board/ski check. It is yours, and yours alone, responsibility to buy a lock, and lock your stuff up. Again, I am very sorry to hear about the theft.

Yes that is true----but they are very aware of their theft problem and should make it known that the service is available----you are paying admission to their private facility-they do owe responsability to providing safety measures. Therefore, there should be more than one lock-up area and you should be told when you purchase your tickets. I have heard that the theft at night time is horrendous so I am just sending the warning.

Wawa is not bad, but you definitely have to pick the days you go. I have just started riding this season, learned at Okemo's free learn to ride program (dec 1-19 weekdays free rental, lift ticket and lesson) I have been to Wachusett 6 times this year and the conditions have been everything from awesome powder (new years eve) to pure ice, like 100% ice.
Weeknights the lines have been pretty decent but the school ski clubs are starting up this week so we'll see how it goes.

I bought a bronze century pass, it's an awesome deal as some have already said you get steep discounts at other NE resorts.

I dont ride park but the park is pretty much suck from what I can tell so far this year, when we got dumped on in central,ma they started to build some kickers, but that's about it. I havent been up since New Years day, so maybe they have more setup now, i'll keep you guys updated on the conditions there.
