    Dinging this place strictly because of the high cost of a lift ticket in comparison to the size and scope of the ski resort. The amount of money they're charging, especially for this area is just too darn high. It's really a place designed for kids from 6 to 16. Adults looking for a proper ski resort. Shouldn't come here.

    1st season jan 25, 2025

    Instructor just a title- zero instruction I took a class for adults first season snowboarding on Saturdays: 10am-12pm Projected Dates: 1/4, 1/11, 1/18, 1/25 with two classmates. The instructor was a young lady who just told us to go up the lift and slice downhill. She did not correct any mistakes or show something new. My friend and I learned from YouTube and TikTok practiced together. On the final day, she gave us incorrect grade levels 7-8, highest!? We were wasting time on one season. I came back to the second session. I got lucky to play with young guy TY- great instructor with two new classmates. He taught us professional as required on the book level 7 to level 8 and somethings we wanted more advance. On the last day TY got an exam, he could not finish with us. Again, the same young lady replaced. The same way, she did not know how to find out our mistake and needed a guy following us four times. One classmate was upset and quit the class after one hour, he said: "She didn't know everything!" After that one guy hurt, she was around with him and one more time uphill and gave us grade level. What do you guess? I got level 6 and another guy level 4 -Surprise, backward result after we worked hard a month! With me, it did not big deal with level number, but I let you know: McIntyre have a problem quality instructor "just a title- zero instruction".

    The Hill Bar & Grille: My wife heard @ this place on Facebook so we decided to check it out with some friends, had a such a good time we went the following nite also....Hint Hint. The place is in its infancy with 2021 plans to add a 2nd level, side pub area addition and a wrap around elevated deck. Pros: 1. Awesome scenery of the ski slope and night sky. 2. Solid pub food menu with nightly specials. 3. Good selection of draft and bottle beers. 4. Full bar. 6. Comfy Adirondack chairs to lounge in. 7. Plenty of lawn games such as corn hole, can-jam & horseshoes to play. 8. Great place to hang with friends. 9. Live music. 10. Very large fire pit for late night enjoyment. 11. Plenty of parking (free). Constructive Criticism: 1. Occasional short pour on wine, martinis & mixed drinks. Consistency matters. 2. Nachos could have a wee bit more fixings on them and more salsa would be good also. Bottom line: I give this place 3-1/2 stars and see it knocking on the door of +4 stars in 2021. We will be frequenting this establishment & right now I consider it a gem in the rough. I totally recommend this place for a very enjoyable & different experience.

    This is the perfect place to spent a chill day in the winter with friends and family! Came here with a large group of about 15 people and we were able to get group discounts on our 2 hours of snow tubing tickets. After you buy your tickets, they make you fill out a waiver. Afterwards is a large lounge area with lots of tables and a small dining area, but we didn't get any food here because the menu looked pretty sad and limited. For the snow tubing experience, you first have to go to a large container that contains the snow tubes and then you go up this outdoor escalator like thing up the hill and then you slide down when an instructor tells you to. They have seven lanes, which the leftmost one being the most popular because it was the fastest and as you went more to the right the less crowded but slower. This was a very fun group experience because we were able to make groups up to four and tie our tubes together and slide down as a group. Also, I like that they're alcohol friendly here and had a tiki bar that serves some mixed drinks and beer.

    Enjoy this place very much. Saturdays they have a special where you can try skiing, snowboarding and tubbing for about 41$ good atmosphere descent drinks.

    Skiing lessons

    We had a great skiing season this year at McIntyre Ski Area. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I went on early mornings on weekends. It was crowded but lines were moving quickly. Food cost is reasonably priced compared to other ski resorts. The food was good and well-prepared. It is a self-served restaurant. The bathrooms were clean for the most part. We never had difficulty in finding parking. My son completed his skiing program. His instructors were kind and very patient with teaching little ones. They really taught him how to ski. We are very impressed with his confidence and his new skiing abilities. He really learned so much. We are looking forward to continue on for more advanced lessons in the future.

Since that time they…read morehave made a lot of improvements and changes but a lot of things still have stayed the same. The chair lifts are starting to show their age and there are some areas of the trail that dont have a lot of options for beginners or early intermediate making it more of an intermediate to advanced trail unless you are comfortable with just going on 1-2 trails for the day as a beginner. They roll out a lot of rental equipment and some how keep it in really decent space they have an army of people doing lessons and for the most part they seem to find dencent respectful stsff to manage the facility.

    Crotched is one of the least known, smaller, and most isolated ski and board areas of the Vail…read moreResorts acquisitions, but also a fun and beautiful place suitable for everyone. During the day, families can enjoy a good active day among the variety of trails and glades. The mountain features 1,016 vertical feet with a high-speed quad, a fixed grip quad, a triple chair, a double chair, and a magic carpet. Crotched has 100 acres of ski terrain, and 25 runs, the longest of which is 1.2 miles. For a small area, it is quite versatile in its terrain, having a well-maintained terrain park among other features. All terrain is covered by an advanced snowmaking system. All the facilities are contained in one building, so keeping track of kids isn't hard to do. The resort is also regionally popular as one of the best night skiing locations in the state. Most runs and lifts have a space or astrological theme. Comet Drop, Supernova, Lift Off, Meteor, Galaxy, The Rocket, Comet, and Shooting Star are but a few of the names at the mountain. The main lodge is the basic building at Crotched. It is a huge building resembling an aircraft hangar and about the size of one. Within it, every conceivable customer service and resort management activity takes place. For beginners, two areas with lifts on each side of the mountain provide a smoother beginning. On the West side, the West Lift, a fixed double, takes the boarder/skier up to several, very scenic, green runs such as Supernova and ReEntry, as well as a beautifully maintained glade, Final Frontier. On the East side of the resort, the Valley lift, a fixed quad, leads to the terrain park, and several blue and green runs. Although small, Crotched Mountain is very well-designed and offers family amenities and comforts that would be found in larger places. Its grooming and snowmaking systems vastly outrank those of many other New England resorts, even several Vail Resorts. For a leisurely-paced place, it merits a visit.

Hikers find a refuge at almost 3,000 feet while skiers and riders enjoy a warmup, food, beer, a rest, and awesome views. Towards the end of ski season, the expansive deck comes to life and the Lodge becomes a huge barbecue place. The large lodge is three stories tall. The basement has a huge footprint but it's not open to the public. Instead, it's used for storage and employee purposes. The main level has a cafeteria, a bar, a large seating area, and a huge hearth with a live fireplace. The third floor is a giant seating room and commands amazing views of the Green Mountains. The entire group of ski areas from Stowe to Killington, Magic, Stratton, Bromley, Mount Snow and Haystack are visible from the top. A giant clock-shaped dial with a rotating arrow guides the curious to all the mountains in view. Although a cafeteria style place, service at the Summit is superb. Friendly, efficient. The Summit also serves as an optimum wedding place as the outside area hosts numerous weddings in the warm months.

It included an excellent lesson (shout out to my instructor Jason), decent rentals (notably the boots were nice and warm), and access to 2 easy slopes and a lift with 2 green slopes for practice. Once you scan the lift ticket, it's active for 4 hours which is plenty of time to get some skiing in. If you're new to this and want to get good, plan on taking more than one lesson. Not sure if it helps but I'll share my progression over one full day of skiing: It'd been 20 years since I skied, so I joined the morning lesson with the first timers and could ski down the bunny slopes comfortably by the end. I took another lesson the same day and was skiing down the green trails without any issues, although not the most efficiently (skis mostly but not always parallel). The facilities were clean and with everything you might need, hot food, drinks, a store, bonfires, wifi, a decent amount of locker space, and a very large area for rentals. It felt very safe, and everyone I interacted with was friendly. Parking wasn't an issue either. Overall, I enjoyed the lessons and my experience skiing at Wachusett, and I'd definitely go again!

When we reached out the next season to receive the tickets Chris told us they would not be honored despite sharing the emails. We will not return to Wachusett after this experience and being promised something via email and then not following through

We've enjoyed two years of ski lessons through our local rec relational department and the kids always have a good time learning to ski for the first time. The instructors are for the most part really great with the kids and patient so the classes can be larger or smaller. They start out assessing the kids by having them go down a bunny hill around cones. Based on their performance, they're put into different groups. They usually start on the bunny hills and then move to the blue trails and lifts and then hopefully onto the black trails. We've done private lessons as well and the one on one was extremely helpful. I highly suggest doing that if you can. They also have outside picnic tables and seating as well as the Outlook restaurant and lounge with full service and bar with a nice view in the mountain. They also have fried dough, a crêpe truck, vending machines. They always have something going on with a fun vibe: one year we saw a group of pandas skiing around the resort, outdoor grilling hotdog and hamburgers, sometimes they have jumps and moguls set up, etc. they also have events during the summer as well. Look for specials on lift tickets, special spring hours, and discounts! Parking can be tough, especially if there's lots of snow so you may be walking long distance to get to the rental area .
