MA has one mountain (Wachusetts). It's pretty small, about 800', though they offer night skiing and I find it to be a pretty good practice mountain.
A short drive up north (2-4 hrs) to NH, VT, or ME and you have A LOT of options for some amazing skiing whether you're a beginner, or a hard core expert, or want to relax with your family.

Yeah but groton has a couple steak places and a couple great farmers markets, so I think that about settles that.

There’s powder in the woods, well there was before climate change

Some are definitely leaving due to cost of living. Now that you can WFH in a lot of jobs, why not do so from NH where housing costs less and you get a 5% raise with no income tax.

Can you clarify OP? Are you looking to move and wondering how the skiing is? Nobody would choose to fly to Mass. to ski from Colorado unless you are visiting family or something.

Add Harvard next door to Boxborough. If I didn’t have to commute, I’d easily live in Harvard. Beautiful town that feels like it is the berkshires dropped into Eastern MA.
Would add Hopkinton, Westbrough, Northborough towns here. Hopkinton has best schools, but I love the westborough / northborough vibes.
Might find something in Carlisle as well, although I think that is pricier.
Sherborn has top end schools but is significantly cheaper than Dover (though still expensive). But Sherborn seems to be returning to pre pandemic levels where no houses go up for sale there

born and raised in Toronto. Just moved to Boston for work. Not going to lie I'm thinking same about moving back...after I get some work experience. I don't know what it is for me but something about this city doesn't feel right. No disrespect to people of Boston they're awesome, and the city beautiful.
Just wondering ...what got you thinking about returning to Toronto?
I want to mention Dunkin got nothing on Tims !

100% agree with you. I just moved to Boston from Toronto. The only thing around me is pizza and subs...chipotle, Panera. What's up with their coffee it's so watered down. Although McDonalds near my apartment makes a nice brew!

Traffic on route 16 west coming from Milford and 495 is going to suck during the afternoon rush.

I don’t know Romney Care made my insurance rates go up while coverage got worse. Meanwhile at the same time lots of people got better healthcare for free. Now they just use the emergency room as the doctors office.

Also, folks in my city have routinely voted for Paul Donato, a Democrat on paper, but Republican by voting record, and who would absolutely outlaw abortion if he could. These are the folks I'm talking about.

We recently moved to Acton, which meets most of your criteria. Property values are lower than the suburbs closer to Boston, and the schools are fantastic. Similar to Concord, but a little more affordable and not really that much further away. One thing I love about Acton is how much green space and conservation land there is. It would be similar in many ways to your current location.
