WACHUSETT UPDATES

Here are a a couple of the upgrades at Wawa this winter:

MORE WHITE: Wachusett’s stellar snowmaking is making major strides toward moving toward a fully-automated system with the addition of 32 new state-of-the-art HKD snow guns this season. These replacement guns include 3 fully-automatic computerized guns on the top of 10th Mountain Trail which will allow speedier snowmaking start up during optimal weather conditions, permitting to snowmaking crews to make quicker adjustments for temperatures and humidity. The additional new semi-automatic snow guns have been installed on the Smith Walton and Challenger trails which will allow for faster snowmaking “dustings” in season to continue to assure the best possible conditions.

MORE RAILS: Wachusett’s 2 Alpine Parks will be stepping it up this season with the addition of 15 new rail and box features in production by Destoy Terrain Parks of Maine. These new features include 4 new rails – including a new 24-foot down rail and 11 new boxes – including a unique new “connection” set which allows for multiple configurations on the Look Mom Terrain Park. The new features will also include 5 new “progression park” boxes for Wachusett’s smaller terrain park area on Frannie’s Folly. All the new features are expected to be in place when the Park’s scheduled opening in December.
