I've always thought that would be a good idea. I know they do something with cat rides there, but I think it has more to do with dining and first tracks before lifts open than accessing backcountry terrain.
I don't know who those guys in the car were, but if someone were to tll me that two of them were Mason Flagg and Frasier Noble, it wouldn't surprise me. Those two skied that mountain (Pine Hill and Balance Rock trails, maybe cut by the CCC) in the 1930s and 1940s. I don't know whether Frasier was.in the 10th Mountain Division during WWII, I know Mason was, along with many other Central Mass skiers, and fought in Italy during WWII (a Purple Heart an Bronze Star with two Oak Leak Clusters) The 10th Mountain Trail on Wachusett honors them and all the others who served in that division. Mason and Frasier are gone now, as are many others who pioneered skiing on Mt. Wachusett.
Sorry Joshua. I guess that answer was a lot more long-winded that you expected. I guess the short answer is, no, I wasn't. Take your pick.
