We’ve always had to drive north to go skiing…NH, Maine, VT. My personal favorites are in Vermont (Stowe and Killington). Vermont is also just a beautiful state in general and if you’re ever looking for a weekend trip, lake Champlain and Burlington are awesome. Depends what part of MA you’re in too. Western mass you will be closer to Vermont. If you’re wife did ski in MA, it was likely the Berkshires (which is beautiful) but it’s nothing compared to Colorado. If you’re on the east coast of MA then NH and ME are most convenient (Loon Mountain/Lake Winnipesaukee is only 2 hours north of Boston). There’s also Sunday River in Maine. If you’re ever up for the drive and have your passports ready, there are also some awesome spots up in Canada. My boyfriend is from California and having grown up skiing in Colorado and Lake Tahoe, he claims that Stowe and Killington are the only mountains worth skiing out here. Hope that helps!
