What’s Up Wachusett

The Great Hill is Ready

Wachusett comes from the Algonquin Indian word for “The Great Hill”, and we think this title really lives up to its reputation. Wachusett Mountain Ski Resort offers 26 ski trails over 110 ski-able acres of snow covered terrain. The Great Hill is made of a total of 2,006 feet in elevation with a 1,000 feet vertical drop. Wachusett is the perfect ski resort for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. Of the 26 trails, about 40% are suitable for intermediate skiers, and the other 60% of trails are split up for beginners and advanced skiers.

Starting the day after Thanksgiving, Wachusett Mountain is blanketed in 3 feet of snow. Equipped with 100 million gallons of water, Wachusett’s snow machines are hard at work covering over a hundred acres of mountain range with fresh powder. Twice a day, the 6 grooming machines are used to polish the trails to perfection.

Over 600,000 tourists visit this historic mountain yearly. Eight lifts provide 9,200 people rides up the slopes every hour.

If you have novice skiers in your crew, Wachusett Mountain provides Ski and Snowboarding classes to help beginners learn the ropes. Even the most seasoned skiers and snowboarders can take advanced classes to enhance their skills.

Children’s programs are provided for the ages of 4 to 12 for the littlest snow bunnies in your family. Wachusett is a mountain experience for the whole family’s enjoyment.

Ski and snowboard rentals are available for your convenience and your safety is a priority with the mountain’s Ski Patrol. 100 professionals are on-hand to assist you and your family on the mountain.

After your day on the mountain, Wachusett Ski Resort hosts you and your family in a warm, comfortable base lodge. Deluxe Mountain Suites offer private rooms if you desire or relax by the fireplace or sun decks. Inside you will also find a number of places for a warm meal or hot drinks, including the Waffle Cabin, Coppertop Lounge, Black Diamond Restaurant, and Bullock Lodge Cider House.
