PRINCETON, Ma. – For the second consecutive year, SKI Magazine readers have recognized Wachusett Mountain among the top 10 ski resorts in the United States and Canada. Results of the publication’s 2008 Reader Resort Survey were recently published in the October 2007 issue.

This year marked the first time SKI Magazine readers have recognized Wachusett among the top 10 in the North America in three separate categories:

Family Programs #2
Accessibility #4
Grooming #6

Nationally, Wachusett had previously been voted #2 in Family Programs in 1997 and was recognized as #7 for accessibility in the 2007 survey.

This year, Wachusett also earned top-10 rankings in eight categories among Eastern North American resorts:

Accessibility #1
Family Programs #2
On-Mountain Food #3
Customer Service #4
Grooming #4
Terrain Parks #8
Lifts #10
Weather #10

“Those rankings are a reflection of our staff’s dedication of providing a first-class experience for all our guests,” said Wachusett Mountain General Manager David Crowley. “We’re very proud that SKI Magazine readers have recognized us among some of the best-known ski resorts in the country.”

In the “Family Programs” category, Wachusett was noted ahead of such prestigious resorts as Deer Valley, UT and Snowmass, CO. In the “Grooming” category, Wachusett was cited ahead of resorts such as Vail, CO; Sun Valley, ID; and Stratton Mountain, VT. With its convenient location in southern New England (20 minutes of Worcester; 1 hour from Boston and just over an hour from Providence), Wachusett’s national rating in accessibility was beaten only by resorts located close to Salt Lake City, UT.
