Wachusett is my home mountain and I love skiing there because everything is so not intimidating to do so its easy to try stuff, but mount snow definately has bigger and better terrain.  Wachusett is small but has a creative park with a good format, night skiing is good, the lights are set up perfect so you never get messed up in the air

hands down mount snow. i'm definitely a little biased, but i've skied enough of wachusett to know that it gets old fast. and while i can't really speak for the night park sitch, i think we all know that mount snow is clearly the winner in daylight..if you're looking to get a pass and you're in college, you better hop on that $295 mount snow/attitash/crotched(full mountain night skiing) before nov. 1.

wachusett is fun. mount snow has a better park hands down.  if your looking to ski wawa at night be prepared for bomb hole landings and a lot of ice.

Definitely Wachusett. Mount Snow has the shittiest parks on the east coast and I'm pretty sure they hold a bunch of rainfall records.

Wawas park is good enough for me considering that it is only 45 minutes away from where I live.  I have to haul ass early morning to get to Mt. Snow.

Nah, you are wrong. I don't have the link, but you can buy the "U PASS" which is 129 dollars for college students.

I didn't realize that crotched has a night park so it looks like mount snow/crotched/attitash it is.

WaWa will officially have no Halfpipe this year due to EPA violations last season..

But this means there will be more snow and area for additional park features.


Just ordered my EP Pros today.

Having grown up skiing both, I can say I know them both pretty well.  Wachusett park is small but fun, but they have absolutely nothing in terms of steeps or glades (its illegal on the mountain).  You can find both of these and a much bigger park at MS.  Wachusett feels a little less corporate, but neither one is exactly your local small-scale area.  These are resorts out to make money.  If you really want to repeat the same run for an extra six hours in the night, feel free, but night skiing is overrated.

It's definately Mt. Snow they have wachusett beat. Over four times the terrain, an amazing pipe, especially with wachusett not having one this year, also with the opening of carinthia, no contest
