Wachusett Mountain Ski Resort in Massachusetts offers a great variety of trails for all skill levels, but the best trails are the novice-friendly Balance Rock and Ralph's Run, as well as the seasoned skier's Smith Walton and Conifer. The resort also has a rich history dating back to the 1800s, when the mountain was used as a grazing farm for cows owned by the family of the inventor of the steam engine, George Stephenson. For beginners, the best suggestion is to take lessons at the resort's Ski and Ride School, which offers a personalized approach for all ages and skill levels. As for the après-ski experience, visitors should check out the Black Diamond Restaurant and Bar for live music, great food, and a cozy atmosphere.
