Today it was forecast to be beautiful out - sunny and in the low 30's. Seemed like a perfect day to get in my first ski of the season! I woke up on my own at 6:30 am and lay in bed vacillating about if I wanted to go or not, but then I looked at the weather for the rest of staycation, and decided that today had to be the day. I was kind of nervous that everyone else would come to the same decision and it would be super crowded, but it wasn't!
I decided to go to nashoba for just two hours. I was the first one on the lift and I had the mountain to myself for the first 15 minutes - it was awesome! By the time I left at 11:15 there were a lot more people there, but it never got to the point where there was a lift line or anything.
I mostly did the blue squares (which I feel like are like greens at most places) and I felt really good on them. The first run or two I felt a little nervous, but I soon got my confidence up and was going a lot faster. For the last 4 runs I decided to try out the black diamond (which I feel like are blues at most places) and they went pretty well. There were a couple spots where I was going a little fast and had to do some zig zagging, but for the most part I was fine.
The one thing that I don't like about nashoba is that their lifts are slow and the hill is just straight down, so you spend a lot of time on the lift, even if there's no line. But, it's so close and easy to get to, and convenient, I think it was well worth it.
