“Wachusett” is the Algonquin Indian word for “The Great Hill.” Geologically speaking, Wachusett is a monadnock, the Indian word for a mountain that stands alone. The first ski trails on the mountain were cut by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the late 1930’s (Pine Hill Trail 1934; Balance Rock Trail 1937) and there are anecdotal reports of people in the 1940s skiing the power line down the side of the mountain. Our first lifts were the Oxbow T-bar in 1960 and the West T-bar in 1962 which was, at the time, the longest T-bar in New England at 3,800 feet. Wachusett is the highest mountain in Massachusetts east of the Connecticut River and stands some 2,006 feet above sea level at its peak. Our panoramic summit views include sights of Boston to the east. Wachusett Mountain has a long history of tourism. The first hotel was constructed on the summit in 1882. A new summit hotel was constructed in 1907 and continued operations until it was destroyed by fire in 1970. More than 600,000 people visit the mountain year round with at least half of that number visiting the Wachusett Mountain State Reservation in summer and fall.

No one is going to argue that Wachusett is the best skiing in the area, but for pure convenience and good night skiing, it is tough to beat!
Close by, reliable conditions, and a great lodge make WA WA Wachusett the best ski mountain in Massachusetts this side of the Connecticut River.
I like Wachusett!
Very good Central Mass location. A short drive from just about anywhere.
WaWachsett, big Mt. skiing minutes away.
