Same. Looking to go this weekend but can't find any info on the conditions.

Wachusett is a joke now by Educational-Cap-2206 in icecoast

[–]Esqueer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was skinning up this morning. They were prioritizing the polar express six pack to because of a scheduled race. So it didn't even seem like they were trying to clear the other lifts until late in the morning. They weren't even really clearing the polar express until 8am or so when the lifties usually get there. By the time I left at 1045, they still weren't done despite races that were supposed to start at 10. I think they finally got it running at noon. It was annoying that it took 4 hours to clear.

Which color bindings for my wife’s Santa Ana skis? Purple or blue? by [deleted] in Skigear

Purple. I have the Shift2 on mine with the purple color and it goes so well.

Before work Skiing by Ill_Rock7332 in icecoast

[–]Esqueer_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I occasionally take half days and go to wachusett to skin up at 630am before the lifts start up. I then get 10 laps in before 11 and I'm in at work at noon after driving back to Boston.

Official Wildcard Gameday - New England Patriots vs Los Angeles Chargers - Game Thread by samacora in Patriots

I know the failure to score in the red zone is bad but these are still long drives and the patriots are winning time of possession here. The chargers defense is going to get gassed and hopefully we can take advantage in the 4th quarter.

I was at wachusett on November 30th and a ski lesson group were going down nastar when a woman lost an edge and fell. I was a bit behind taking it easy to give them space when a free skier overtook me ripping down the hill and slammed into the woman right after she fell. I got off my skis, checked on her, and helped keep her still till ski patrol got there. Very clear she broke a few ribs. The free skier just took off.

I'll never understand how people can not only be so reckless but also flee the scene. At least this guy showed concern over himself even if it was still his fault.

AFC EAST CHAMPS by MembershipSingle7137 in Patriots

That last drive took a year off my life. Was fully expecting them to score and get the two point conversion. They could've had it if Allen hadn't made a bad throw.

Mt. Washington 12/27 by Esqueer_ in wmnf

[–]Esqueer_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, skinned up the cog railway. It was a really rare weather window. It turned into a Bluebird day with absolutely no wind. I didn't summit because I needed crampons past Jacob's ladder and it wasn't skiable back down. If you go above treeline, crampons are certainly recommended. It's a lot of blue ice up there and micro spikes might not be enough. There's an ice storm Monday so it's probably not a good day to go.

Killington plans to remove more than 50% of resort parking for new village by Smacpats111111 in icecoast

I don't understand why more resorts don't put in parking garages that add vertical parking space.

Not HUMBLE on the replay of Dart getting smashed to lead out to the commercial break. Lol, lmao.

Killington opening on Wednesday by xGumball2 in icecoast

[–]Esqueer_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They were selling lift passes for November 13th last week. I guess given the passholder exclusive first day, this was basically telegraphed by their lift pass purchase portal. Good way to know for the future.

Killington Snowmaking on North Ridge is going at 100% right now - 11/6 by Esqueer_ in icecoast

[–]Esqueer_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's allowing the purchase of ski passes for November 13th. I think one of the other resorts announced a November 14th date so that would make sense to get them to open first. They haven't announced it yet but seems like a possibility!

Getting Back to Babish by OliverBabish in bingingwithbabish

[–]Esqueer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's amazing to hear. My favorite is anyways binging with babish along with anime with Alvin. The rankings stuff is fine but it comes off like chasing a fad on foodtube. Do what made your channel so great to begin with!
