Where to go for a winter weekend vaca within 4 hours of Boston for non-skiers?

Oct-25-2009 Posted under Winter Sports Skiing



Hi,

We want to get away for a weekend. We live in Boston, and are short on cash so we need to drive, and the destination needs to be within four hours. We don’t ski/snowboard or do any winter sports, so a weekend skiing is out of the question. We’ve been to NYC a million times. Any suggestions for a destination where we have something to do, besides skiing?

portland, me. burlington, vt. albany, ny. north conway, nh. montreal. shall i go on?

    What do you want to do?

    4 hours from Boston = New York. Take out your map and your compass, put the point on Boston, the pencil on NYC, draw arc from NYC to the west back around to the Atlantic Ocean north east of Boston.

    You will see that there aren’t many options that don’t involve some sort of winter sporting activity.

    Most of Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire shut down in the winter, with exception of skiing, cross country skiing, riding snow mobiles, ice fishing.

    As I see it, you choices are hanging out in bars (assuming your of legal age), shopping (which is actually best in NYC), stay at a ski resort and oscillate between bar, hot tub, room for sex.

    There are many destinations, but it depends on where you are, if your into other sports, then yeah.
