Well the mountains haven't gotten significantly taller so not sure in what way it could have improved? Pretty sure almost all skiing is done to the north.

Commuting at all? Deciding which train station, North or South, will be important.

We haven't erected any new higher MA mountains in the last 20 years. Sorry.

There’s houses in the 800k range in west concord

Our kids are 15 now and ski blacks and double blacks (in the east) in glades - in VT or NH

Maine has Sunday River and Sugarloaf both worth the trip. Kids can learn in Mass at Mt Wachusset .

Walpole, Medfield, Foxboro. 😊

I was in vail last month I noticed the prices are high, I think a day pass at vail was 200+. I have the epic pass so I don’t remember for certain. The more popular mountains here - killington, Stowe, loon aren’t that high yet but they are approaching that level slowly.

The warm/cold cycles here kill the snow. The freeze/thaw. This winter has been a bit of an anomaly but it’s been crazy warm (50s and 60s some days with many 40° days) and very very cold days well into the negatives, with not much snow.

When it does snow a decent amount, alot of times it starts or ends as rain and ruins any powder. Even when it’s straight powder, it might be on top of a sheet of ice. Nonetheless when a good forecast shows up, we all lose our shit over at r/icecoast and there’s a battle between good and evil in the comments sections (optimists vs pessimists).

Long story short, you can get great skiing here, when you know where to look sometimes. When it’s not great, it can be good. When it’s not good, you’re still skiing. And the ski culture is overall pretty good once you know where to go. Especially for kids that are learning.

Don’t, it’s awful. Vermont has the best skiing in New England. Jay Peak and sugarbush are where it’s at, mad River Glen if you’re an expert. NH is okay, Maine has a couple gems.

For sure. But I like to try and do right by my staff. We only have two employees opting in, the other three people are me and my family. The whole thing is out of wack. It’s even worse when you’re in the lower end of the middle class. The hill becomes very steep, very quickly.

Thats the Massachusetts way, we’re argumentative. They don’t know call us Massholes for nothing

I'll check it out thank you!

Thank you. Seems like that is the consensus in this thread.

Thank you

Yeah I think Berkshire East was where she skiid growing up. We don't live in MA but maybe some day. NH and VT seems to be what everyone is saying. Thank you for your response!

I asked for politics of a surrounding state and no real political questions and not any political debate or statement

I answered and responsed to comments without any political leaning or preferance

What logic is it to start an "argument" in an random sub?

Get your inspection sticker THEN get your tint done.

Yeah that's seems to be the theme in the responses. Thanks! I doubt we can afford Canada (unless it's somehow cheaper than an Airbnb+ tickets in CO)

Thank you for the info! Here day passes are 150+ (epic pass is way cheaper but a lot more up front). I read an article somewhere at some point that said by 2050 there will be less than 25 skiable days in CO due to climate change. That's kind of the context for asking about MA (plus my wife is from there and we did a family trip last summer to MA I loved it)

How does one mute these non stop posts 15x a day. Holy shit.

Ah ok I didn't know that. I guess depending where you live in MA you can go to either relatively easily.

Great thanks for the info!

I think so. It was about 30-45 min.
