The Heart of New England Located in the heart of New England, Wachusett offers real mountain skiing just minutes away from Boston, Rhode Island and Connecticut. From the 2,006-foot summit on a clear day, you will see six states as well as Boston and the harbor. With a 1,000-foot vertical drop and 6 lifts servicing 20 trails, Wachusett Mountain will please beginners and experts alike.
Snowboarders are welcome on all trails and a half-pipe.
One hundred percent snowmaking coverage, well-manicured slopes and night lighting provide an opportunity to enjoy the entire mountain both day and night. There are three distinct food service areas, a Mountainside Ski Shop, a superb PSIA Ski and Snowboard School featuring a highly-rated Polar Kids Children s Program and a rental shop with all the latest equipment, including alpine and snowboards. Due to Wachusett's prime location, it can get crowded on weekends and holidays, forcing the area to limit ticket sales. Arrive early enough to park in one of the lots serviced by a shuttle. With two high-speed four passenger chairlifts, lift lines move quickly.
