Quebec is nice for a 3-4 day trip. Before I turned 21 I would drive up to Montreal for long weekends to ski Tremblant. The lower drinking age and full-contact strip clubs were nice too.

One of these years I want make it to Quebec City and ski at Le Massif; supposed to be legendary.

Omg. Thank you for recommending that ice coast sub reddit. There really is a sub for every topic 😂 As someone who grew up skiing in the Poconos and now lives in New England, I️ always feel like I’d be horrible skiing out west in all that powder.

The skiing around here is really just good for beginners practicing or to go goof around one day. Wachusett does night skiing and a lot of people go after work.

I lived in central/eastern ma and have zero idea what the politics of my neighbors are. I'm not sure why that would matter anyway.

Will you only be ok if your entire street has "hate has no home here" signs in front of their fences with their security cameras pointed at the front yards lol

MA has 5 small-medium sized hills, around 800-1000 ft vertical. Catamount (on NY border), Berkshire East, Jiminy, Butternut, and Wachusett.

There are a number of tiny places scattered about. Ward, Nashoba, Blue Hill, Bousquet, Blandford.

Other commenters are correct that most people go to VT/NH/ME to ski "for real". But no harm in trying the others while they still exist (because lord knows they probably won't in 15 years!)
