Wachusett Mountain Ski Area
Is Ideal For FAMILIES!
PRINCETON, Ma. -- Wachusett Mountain is a great place for
families and it shows! In addition to great on-mountain programs,
Wachusett is a natural for families for a host of other reasons,
as well:
- The base lodge is on the same level as the parking lot
offering easy access for kids to manuever from the car.
Wachusett offers the "Fun Patrol" to assist
families as they get out of the car by loading up gear on the
"fun patrol" wagons.
- The terrain is perfectly suited for families with all the
terrain meeting as the base area. The trail and lift
configuration is also great for families with the Monadnock
triple perfect for beginners, the Minuteman Quad ideal for
intermediates, and the Polar Express Quad fun for advanced
skiers.
- Wachusett’s convenient location in central
Massachusetts ensures a short trip in the car with a minimum
of "Are we there, yet?" questions. Wachusett has
been recognized in the past by Ski Magazine as the most
accessible ski area in the East.
- It takes a "friendly family" to make
Wachusett Mountain "family friendly!" Wachusett is
operated by the Crowley family who grew up on the mountain and
now enjoy the mountain with their own kids.
- Kids and parents can ski, snowboard, or take lessons. Mom
and Dad can feel safe knowing that younger brothers and
sisters not quite ready to hit the slopes can stay supervised
in the Polar Cub nursery.
- The Polar Kids sled – this beautiful hand-made
wooden sled is used to pull kids from the Polar Den to the
teaching area helping them have fun before they’ve even
started skiing.
- Wachusett is one of the few ski areas in the east with a Ski
Carousel – a fun merry-go-round that children ride on
skis to give them the feel of moving on the snow.
- Great food!
Wachusett’s on-mountain food service has
been ranked by Ski Magazine readers as number 1 in the East.
- Wachusett even has its own mascot: "Orson"
the Polar Bear!
- The October 1997 issue of "Ski Magazine" ranked
Wachusett Mountain the number #2 ski area in the country
for family programs.
- Incredible "family season pass" programs
including all children 15 years or younger take $100 off their
pass price; children 5 or younger receive a free unlimited
season pass when a parent purchases an unlimited pass; with
the purchase of 4 unlimited or 7-day season passes, families
will receive the 5th pass free!
Here is a summary of some other of Wachusett’s great children’s
programs and facilities:
