Ski it if you can! No snowboarding allowed. This is a true hidden gem for the skiing community - that is in the snow conditions.

Overall its a pretty icy mogul field with lots of trees, but its hard to beat the price compared to other resorts. Waiting for some snowfall then driving up turns it into a nice place to go if you live in the western Massachusetts area. The area around is not too shabby either so whether youre looking for a day trip with your college ski buds or just a fun time when traveling out East with a budget, look no further.
