Insanely well maintained. Owners do the absolute best job with what they can from start to end of season. Constantly grooming and making snow. Also the busiest mountain outside of Boston and they do a great job at keeping things smooth on the busiest of days. Love the Chu!

Wachusett is a fun medium-sized mountain close to the Boston metro area. The mountain is family friendly and a perfect setting for beginners and intermediate levels of skiing and snowboarding. There are very few black diamond trails, so you may need to find creative ways to get your adrenaline fix. On another note, the food and beverage options are top tier.

I grew up skiing Wachusett, its a family-friendly ski hill with a cute little mid-mountain cabin where you can get apple cider donuts, apple dumplings, and apple soda. The waffle cabin is also a huge plus. The skiing is mid but thats Massachusetts skiing for ya. Always a great time at Wachusett!
