context_page_description: Wachusett Mountain is an alpine ski area in the northeastern United States, located on Mount Wachusett, in the towns of Princeton and Westminster, Worcester County, Massachusetts. It has 25 trails, served by eight lifts, including three high-speed chairlifts and three child-friendly magic-carpet lifts, a triple chairlift, and a Pony lift.
  Wachusett Mountain appeals mostly to skiers from Boston and Worcester, because it provides a weekend shuttle service to and from a MBTA commuter stop in nearby Fitchburg.
  Wachusett Mountain has 100% snow-making capacity, and also has night-skiing on most of its trails.
context_section_description: The resort features 27 trails, ranging in difficulty from easiest (green circle) to most difficult (black diamond). Amidst these trails is a terrain park, and a racing venue. Two high-speed chairlifts (Minuteman and Polar Express) service the two main peaks as well as a newer high-speed lift for the beginner area (Monadnock Express). One additional 3-person chairlift (Vickery Bowl) services the mid-mountain area. Two magic carpets service the mountain's training slopes with a third open only during weekends and holiday periods for ski school lessons for young children.
  In 2006, the National Ski Patrol named Wachusett Mountain Ski Patrol as the best Large Alpine Patrol in the country.
  The base lodge has recently been expanded, and is now nearly 50,000 sq ft (5,000 m²). It contains public areas, a cafeteria, The Black Diamond restaurant, and private suites, that are available for daily rental.
  The resort used to include the nearby Wachusett Village Inn which provided overnight accommodations. The Inn was sold in 2016 and is now a rehabilitation center owned and operated by Recovery Centers Of America.
