Massachusetts skiing offers large and small areas

There are a lot more places for Massachusetts skiing or riding than most people know. With all the mega-resorts in the northern states, the Massachusetts Ski Areas often get overlooked. The smaller size of some of these areas can be beneficial especially if your goal is to learn to ski.

Once in a while the skiing conditions can actually be better in Mass than further north due to a southern storm track.

I admit that I am guilty of bypassing many of the Bay State resorts and heading north. My kids get more days at some of these areas because they don't have to work and get snow days from school so my wife will take them for a day trip.

Check out these Massachusetts areas, some of which are much closer than you think.

This kid does not need summer. He would either ski or play hockey everyday if he could.
