New England skiing and snowboarding destinations

Last year, we told you about five great local mountains in the Boston area. Now we want to venture a little further and bring you some additional options that are better suited for overnight stays or weekend trips.

These mountains offer more trails to choose from, larger terrain parks – if you want to channel your inner Shaun White – and typically (depending on the year, really) more snow and better trail conditions. These destinations are great for family and friends to have a blast:

• Okemo Mountain (Ludlow, VT)
• Hunter Mountain (Hunter, NY)
• Bretton Woods (Bretton Woods, NH)
• Jay Peak (Jay, VT)
