Hi everyone
Very unseasonably cold air and snow made a trip to Massachusetts yesterday. If you watched the PATS game on tv you know what i mean. Anyway i made a
trip out to wachusett mountain w GF using brand new sleds. as i was driving the snow was not really sticking...i was very skeptical that i would get
to enjoy the sledding.
To anyone who knows weather this was an extremely elevation related event...just 5 minutes from the mountain at 850 feet elevation there was a
dusting....at 1000 feet 1 inch......at 1200 feet 3 inches and 1400 feet 4.5. I couldn't make it to the summit (2000 ft) because the access road was
closed but after talkng with some friendly hikers in the parking lot across from the summit access road (1200 feet elevation ...where attached pics
were taken) we decided to hike up the road with sleds and then after a 30 min walk .....take turns hitting different trails and even sled down the
moutain road....it was truly mid winter contions above 1200 feet.
looking up moutain a true blizzard up there
