Vacation on Massachusetts' Ski Slopes

Home » Massachusetts » Massachusetts A One Week Itinerary » Vacation on Massachusetts' Ski Slopes

If you're spending a week or more in Massachusetts during the winter, you'll be able to take advantage of one of the most popular sports and recreational activities in the state - skiing. There are ski areas located throughout the state (especially in the western half, since it is much more rural and mountainous than the eastern portion). Plus, a variety of types of snow sports are welcomed on the slopes, including traditional skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, and more - whatever you're looking for to have a fabulous vacation in Massachusetts!

There are several ways that you can plan your ski vacation.

• Decide how long you want to ski. If you really cherish that time on the slopes, you may want to plan to be skiing for your entire week vacation. Or you may want to devote a few days to the snow and then move onto another attraction.
• Check out packages, and see if you'd like to purchase one. You can often get deals by purchasing a package through a certain resort or lodge, and your skiing, lodging, and possibly other aspects of the vacation will be included in one cost.
• Keep up on local weather conditions and reports on the snow at the ski area.
• Pick out your favorite ski area. Some possibilities are Wachusett Mountain Ski Area, Ski Butternut (The Berkshires Family Mountain) Blue Hills Ski Area, Brodie Mountain, Butternut Basin, Jiminy Peak, Otis Ridge, and more.
