Solid little mountain. I spent most of a day here and was pretty well entertained but definitely…read morewould have been bored if I came a second day. I mostly stuck to twister until they closed it off for racing though i tried the whole rest of the mountain. I like that they have night skiing because i got a late start to my day and didnt get there till around noon. On a random Tuesday the two lodges were constantly full of kids who race but I always found myself a seat when I needed to come in to warm up. Even with all the racer kids I still never had to wait in the lift lines. I also forgot my snowpants but thankfully they allow borrowing from the lost and found items that are past their pickup date. That was a life saver to be able to grab some in the morning and bring them back at the end of the day.

Great family sized mountain. Perfect for beginners and intermediates. They limit ticket sales so…read moreeven on a super busy day lift lines are not bad. Brought my two oldest granddaughters to learn to ski for the first time. By the end of the day, the oldest (9) was on the lift skiing Puff, The younger (6) was ready to go, but the day was over. She will be skiing puff next trip. During the day or at night, you can ski right up to the lifts and get on. Typically no line or just one or two groups in front of you.

Crotched has been open for about 20 years since it closed back in the 90s. 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. On the weekend it can be a long walk to the facility they can really fill up the parking lot so take advantage of the drop off area and then park.

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.

Tues-Sat night skiing is $50...(with free rentals for those who need it). We will be going back for the night skiing. There is the Penny chairlift that does not go far up the mtn at all--it takes you a little bit up to try out some green trails. Those slopes are not very wide which is helpful for beginners in my opinion BUT my friends enjoyed it.

Great for all levels, there's a magic carpet and one lift on the right side for beginners, and a terrain park for snowboarders on the left. There's a free bag check or pay lockers to store stuff. They have a decent store if you forgot to bring stuff. Ski rental is across boot The restaurant inside "Barrel & Bar" was REALLY GOOD, the smash burger with the barrel sauce was amazing and the brussel sprouts with bacon was also perfect. I wish I had their recipe for the barrel sauce because I could drink that stuff. Look on their website for hotel partners, we were able to get 25% off lift ticket coupons from our hotel on that list.

Well it was right on the River and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The room had ample space and we couldn't have asked for better hosts! Alison made our stay inviting and pleasant in every way. Nice hot breakfast every morning and hot coffee throughout the day in the dining room for our convenience. The deck by the river was just lovely and tranquil sitting listening to the rush of the water. I highly recommend a stay there if one wants to get away from the hectic drudgery of their day-to-day life. Donald and Lisa Clement

I'm impressed with the snow blowing operation, the ease of use and price of the epic northeast value pass (student version). I got it last minute meaning the day before the epic passes closed and it was less than $500! (I know it was even a bit less if you purchased it ahead of time just FYI). There are three different lodges and one is at the top and two are at the bottom. Had to activate my epic pass and prove my student status. Get there early if you are activating a pass on a weekend! (This is a very manual process and took awhile).

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.

Waited about 20-30 minutes in the lift line but thats how it is sometimes. They only had two lifts running and the lines morphed into each other. Besides the long lines, the workers were incredibly kind and worked very hard. The mountain its self was awesome; full of glades, great trails and I came after it got dumped on with snow! The lodges were busy as heck but that is again, how it is. I will 100% come back, it was so impressive.

What a solid ski mountain!…read more I used to come here annually as a kid and it was a great experience returning as an adult on the Indy Pass. The one bummer was the little goat shack on the bunny hill no longer hosts any goats which was always a fun little quirk to ski by. The blues and black diamonds are short but solid runs that were so fun to rip down. The main lift is speedy. Decent space and storage in the lodge. Would highly recommend and would return!

Room 9 had vinyl flooring, clean white linens on the beds, and it looks like the walls were freshly painted. The owner, Tim was so accommodating from time of booking and throughout our stay. Upon arrival, we parked outside our room, got dressed to ski, and walked to the chairlift. You cannot beat the location! After a day of skiing, the indoor heated pool was awesome for our family. The cozy room next to the pool with the wood burning fireplace and lots of seating was a gem. We ordered pizza from Western Ave pizzeria and they delivered and Tim offered plates, napkins and utensils and showed us how the coffee tables lifted so we could sit on the comfy couches and eat by the fire. I would highly recommend staying here. It was a clean and comfortable place to stay so we could ski and use a heated pool in February, which was perfect for our family with young kids. We will definitely be back next school vacation week!

Beginner review: If you're new to skiing, I'd highly…read morerecommend the beginners package (~$150) which honestly was totally worth the price tag. 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!

Awful customer service! Will never go back. We went for years prior to this experience…read more The mountain was jam packed and making snow when we went with a party of 8. We took one lift and the snow conditions were terrible. They were making snow late in the season and there were mounds in the middle of the trails with countless people falling. Customer service promised us comped tickets for next time we returned. I emailed a man named Chris Stimpson. He confirmed the 8 lift tickets to be comped on our next visit. 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

The one of the young guys working were sliding down with every person in one of the lanes. There was no organization. The lines were literally to the tree lines. There were multiple accidents.

That said, we got to tube down like 3-4 times in two hours. For the price is absolutely was not worth it. It was a bad experience.
