That was a great day of skiing.
This was yesterday (Saturday), up at Wachusett Mountain in Princeton, MA. Zach and I went up for a good chunk of the day, hauling our food and other goodies in ourselves (Holy cats is food there expensive. Better to just bring your own).
It was by far the busiest day I've ever seen there (with weather today forecast to be in the single digits, and it was), so naturally most of the east coast went skiing on Saturday.
Lift lines were in the 40+ minute range, which was reminding me of the days we skied at Hunter Mountain in NY.
Things sure have changed since then - the lifts are FAR faster, carrying 4 folks per chair, using that 'zoomie launch' bit, but the old tricks still work. Zach and I split up and took to the 'singles' line, and were able to zip through to the lift in about 10 minutes each run. Wahoo!
Zach had all new ski gear this time, after some successful ebay and craigslist scrounging. Didn't have to deal with rentals at all. Another win. The gear worked great, and we both had a fantastic day.
