Meanwhile Wachusett has a number of events on the March docket. The Great Race, the culmination of the Race League, is Saturday, March 14. Go green March 17 with discounted list tickets for those who carpool, and enjoy Women's Fest with tours, demos, and runs in the race course Friday, March 20.

Wachusett is rolling into March in good shape and with strong skier/snowboarder visits already posted. After a rough patch in December caused by a five-day power outage from an ice storm that hit Central New England, the area has been on an upward trajectory that mirrors the ski scene across New England.
