I go skiing by myself all the time. It's tough to line up schedules with family and friends. I just play some music on an earbud and ski whatever I want.

Benefits to going alone too:

• you can stop wherever and whenever you want.
• this is especially nice if you want to hit up the NH liquor stores on the highway off 93 in Hooksett, or grab coffee, or food or whatever 🍻🍷🍾
• you can ski / board whatever you want
• double black diamond? Fuck it, SEND IT! ⛷️🏂
• cruiser day? Go for it. 🥽
• you can also take the singles line, and ride with random people. Lots of cool conversions that way. I even ran into the same dude with his kids at two mountains on two different days, which was extremely funny and completely unplanned.
• the singles line is also wicked fast since you don't wait with a group and you hop on the first chair with space for 1 person 🏎️
• I've done 20+ runs a day with this time savings
• plus most of my friends aren't doing 20+ runs a day anyway and want food/coffee/beer after a few runs

The only downside is you can't force your friends to drive part of the way. But my car is fançy and has lane assist/adaptive cruise control so for most of my trips up 93 I don't feel too bad after driving for 2+ hours each way. There are also ski buses that hit up various mountains, so you could potentially just jump on one of those if you aren't up for a long drive.

TL&DR: SEND IT!! ⛷️🏂⛷️🏂⛷️🥽

Just wanted to point out that one of your planned stops--the Longfellow House--will not be open during your visit. It does not open for the season until late May. Their website will tell you that the grounds and garden are open year-round, but they are very small and not worth your time on their own.

this would actually be a genius way to use the time

Matt’s Music in Weymouth. Guitar Pedal Shoppe in Plymouth.

Totally normal and nobody will care. If you’re self conscious, it’s not like anyone will recognize you in all your ski clothes.

(extremely boston raspy two-packs-a-day voice) WHDH has never been a fox affiliate, they were CBS way back in the day and then swapped affiliations with WBZ, which was NBC at the time. they’ve been independent since 2017

Smith College. Great idea!

This. It’s often cheaper than getting your own lift pass and transportation is included. And you can meet people if you don’t want to be alone.

Thanks for this suggestion - I edited the post to include some info that I was able to get from that sub.

Exactly where on back doors the fare mechanism will be, and how large? Space is usually a problem on MBTA vehicles with standing room only.

What were the delivery charges? I saw the delivery charges are making up half of my bills since last few months

In the meantime, everyone is already riding the GLX for free -- why bother paying? That section of the T could be the first "fare free" zone as an experiment. And for those of us who are paying, stop giving us paper receipts--what a waste and the machines keep breaking down due to running out of ... paper.

It’s fucking raining in Boston. This goddamn winter needs to end.

I’m willing to bet that OP is the sort of person that would complain about FiOS being available to his neighbor but not to him.

I’m also willing to bet that the town/city required Comcast to make the same service available to everyone in the town as part of the conditions of their franchise agreement. And that’s why they’re pulling fiber everywhere.

Skiing and snowboarding alone is totally cool imo. You’re there for the runs vs the social aspect so if that doesn’t bother you think about all the lift line time you’ll save going up the singles line. More turns for the day!

None of my local friends and only a couple of my family members snowboard so I go alone all the time, basically since I started driving. There is really no reason you wouldn’t be able to snowboard alone. As others have pointed out, unless you are the same skill level it isn’t really a social event. Plus, you usually meet some cool people who are at your skill level. Go out there and have fun.

Yes, we are screwed, we know it. But can homeowners please stop with the "I feel so sorry for everyone whose assets didn't double in the past few years like mine did" comments.

nope, you'll also get way more runs in. Singles line on the chairlift always goes quicker.

Will see if I have those days off and look into re-scheduling my visit

Not at all - in fact riding alone is my preference. Your own trails, your own speed...it's freeing

Not even 25 calls themselves Fox. 7 would be appalled.

It’s not weird also you could do some of the BSC ski trips would rec that!

Reminds me of that blizzard a few years ago where the interviewer asks where the people are going in the blizzard and they say dunks!
