With winter on its way and all the snowboard talk flying around the shop, I took a minute to get some straight answers from the Crowleys about possible plans for the park this season. Eric will be back again this year which is good news. Eric knows how to build jumps and work in a park. He's spent plenty of time grooming and working at Loon too to know what's up. Given the snow, a decent crew, and hopefully a few less restrictions on being creative with the trail things should be fine. We're seeing lots of other mountains and smaller ski areas updating their features this year, and after a couple of emails back and fourth with Jeff Crowley it seems that Wachusett is also on board to finally update the old features we have delt with for the last few years. When questioned, Jeff replied "It just so happens I just asked Mike Halloran to have Eric order thousands of dollars of new hits from Destroy of Maine earlier today."
Hopefully this can help put some rumors about "no park" at Wachusett this winter to rest. This is at least a step in a positive direction. Hang in there Wawa locals. I'll try and catch up with Eric asap and see what he has the funds for. Stay tuned.

wachusett gets soo much business, some saturdays are so packed they have to turn people away...im glad they are finally realizing that they could throw some money at the park and not to more ski patrol that stop you if you crack the slightest ollie on connifer or ralphs
wawa was the shit in like 04-05 05-06 it's never been the same since.
last year the park jumps were very nice, big and well maintained and the step up was crazy. the rails and boxes were not too good. wachusett needs to build the same jumps and just get new rails. for a small mountain the park is great!
The jumps last year were so sick. Rails were kind of haggard but that can easily be changed. Keep those jump lines buttery!
beego speaks the sad truth. Between 04 and 07 all the rails were in amazing condition and post season hiking was actually fun. But last years jumps were really nice cause of the new park manager, so really anything is possible for this season.
