Description: Skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels are invited to join the Narragansett Chapter 20s & 30s for a fun and flexible day at Wachusett Mountain! If you're an intermediate or above, you're welcome to hit the slopes at any time and head out at any time; if you're a beginner interested in taking lessons, the first group lesson usually starts at 10:00 AM. Everyone is invited to have lunch in the Mountain Lodge around noon, and those who stick around until 6:00 PM are invited for a group dinner as well.
Intermediate and Above Wachusett offers a wide variety of ticket types. There are 4-hour and 8-hour tickets, plus tickets for various "sessions" throughout the day. See the ticket options and select the one that works best for you: https://www.wachusett.com/tickets-passes/lift-tickets/daily-lift-tickets/ Slopes are open until 9:30 PM If you're interested in an intermediate lesson, you can sign up for a 1:00 PM slot. See the lesson page here: https://www.wachusett.com/lessons-rentals/lessons/group-lessons/ . Please note that we can't guarantee that other event members will be interested in an intermediate lesson. You're invited to ski/snowboard with other non-beginners in the group, but if you find we go too slowly or too quickly, you are of course welcome to go off on your own. Just remember to meet us for lunch! Beginners We assume you are taking beginner lessons. If you have never skied/snowboarded before and do not plan on taking lessons, this is not the event for you If you plan to stay on the bunny (beginner) slopes after your lesson, you should look into a beginner bundle, which offers a full-day lift ticket for bunny slopes, rentals, and a lesson. See bundle here: https://www.wachusett.com/lessons-rentals/lessons/beginner-packages/ If you plan to tackle non-beginner trails after your lesson, you should first purchase a lift ticket and then purchase a lesson separately. We recommend a 4- or 8-hour ticket, depending on how long you'd like to stay after your lesson. See lessons here: https://www.wachusett.com/lessons-rentals/lessons/group-lessons/ and lift tickets here: https://www.wachusett.com/tickets-passes/lift-tickets/daily-lift-tickets/ If we have enough people who fall into the first beginner category, we'll try to take advantage of the beginner buddies pass: https://www.wachusett.com/lessons-rentals/lessons/bring-a-friend/ Plan to arrive by at least 9:00 AM if you're planning on a 10:00 AM lesson so that you can pick up all of your gear Approximate Cost For those not purchasing a beginner bundle: Skis/boots/poles or snowboard/boots: $50 8-hour lift ticket: $115 Lesson: $100 (though if you attended a lesson earlier in the season, remember that you may have a coupon code) For those purchasing a beginner bundle: Bundle (including an 8-hour bunny slope ticket, skis/boots/poles or snowboard/boots): $150 For those taking advantage of the buddy pass (the leader will determine who can take advantage of this based on number of sign ups and skill levels): Bundle (including an 8-hour bunny slope ticket, skis/boots/poles or snowboard/boots): $100 For all, a mandatory helmet is $15, and an optional locker for gear is $15.
