Terrain Park Safety Education Program


With the incredibile popularity of all the new features in our Terrain Park located on Look Mom Trail this season, Wachusett will be implementing a new Terrain Park Safety Education Program policy that will take effect beginning Monday, February 7. This new policy is designed to provide a safer environment for all riders and skiers in the alpine park.

The new policy includes 4 basic steps. All park riders and skiers must:
Watch a new 'Smart Style Safety Education Video' which will be available in a desginated area near the ski patrol building at the top of Minuteman Quad Chairlift.


Sign a waiver form indicating they have viewed the safety education video.


Pay a one-time $5 Park Pass fee. (NOTE: This fee will be used to offset the costs to administer the program. This will also go towards the raffle of a new snowboard on March 20 after the 'Freeride Frenzy' Terrain Park event. All Park Pass holders are eligible to win the new snowboard.)


Receive and carry a 'Park Pass' Card indicating they have completed the new safety education program.
Skiers and riders who do not complete the Smart Style Safety Education program may use the smaller terrain park features that will be located on Hitchcock trail and in other locations around the mountain

fuckin a, waterville needs this shit too, our park is over run with little kids and people who can barely ski just cause it's in the middle of the mountain at the bottom and it's a poma...they need to restrict it to people who can ski and have a park pass

yah it is an amazing idea, but it kinda sucks that they're raffling off a board with the $5 it would be cool if they used all the money to improve the park tho

Yes, was up there Monday night and the park was much better, I didn't get cutoff once! A lot less people in it, and yes, they were checking for the park pass at the entrance.

I was also surprised how many features they have in the 2nd park on lower hitchcock (no park pass needed there) I imagine it will get pretty crazy over there

The video was kind of a joke, but it's better than nothing I suppose

I'll second that!
Snow was fast, landings were soft, park was empty
An excellent night, even though I only made it up for 1 1/2 hours, well worth it!

If you hate the pass so much, then go ski somewhere else.

I don't remember actually having to sign anything for the pass, just filled out my info on a card (name, age, address etc...) watched the movie and paid $5

A signature from a minor would be worthless anyway
