That was the one and only ski area I ever worked at! One of the neat things that Wachusett did back in the late 90s (don't know if they still do it or not) was use their groomers to create a mogul field. The field was pretty much perfectly shaped- almost too perfectly shaped. But it was a GREAT place to learn how to ski tight moguls. I've often wondered why other ski areas didn't do things like that.

Bit of trivia: the owners of Wachusett Mountain are also the owners of a local soda company in Worcester. The soday company had for decades a giant inflatable polar bear named Orson sitting on the top of the factor- Orson the polar bear was their mascot. When Coca Cola began using their own polar bear in the mid-90s (yes, it's been that long), they turned around and sued the Worcester company for copyright infringement! Thankfully, the local soda company won and Orson still hovers over poor old dilapidated Worcester.

Orson was also popular for the local college boys from Holy Cross to pilfer for party weekends, but now we're getting WAY off subject...
