Where to Board- -Northeast

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me figure out where to go snowboarding this weekend or the next. We've been getting a decent amount of snow and i thought i may as well go boarding. I go to school in boston and i'm looking for a mountain in NH or relatively nearby (4 hours or less). So give me your suggestions! What's the best mountain? Whats the best value? How to get a good price? Etc, i appreciate any and all comments.

Definetly hit up loon, mike rav and a bunch of the capita team rides there almost every day.

Loon looks awesome but unfortunately, the price tag is super high... ~70 bucks for the day?

Definitely just checked out their fb site. Sounds pretty good. i think loon might be my best option as of now. Unless anyone else has any input?

Yeah that is so true!   But 8 $ lift ticket is sweet.

Nashoba Valley doesn't count.  It's like riding in someone's backyard.  Loon is a good choice though.  It gets super busy since it's so conveniently located, but I always have fun when I go there, and the ride from Boston is easy.

Sugarloaf has been getting more snow lately and with the warm temps today and tomorrow, you will probably find better conditions at Sugarloaf. Yes, the have season passes that give you access to Loon, Sunday River, and Sugarloaf which are all good and you get some variety.

Was at Loon yesterday. All was pretty slushy by Noon but lift lines were short. Coverage was still pretty good with only an occasional bare spot. This will likely rapidly deteriorate this week with the very warm temps continuing.

We were at Loon on Saturday and the open trail count had dropped to 30 trails from 52 the Saturday before. Those 80 degree days will do that. Loon still has the most open terrain in the area and they plan on making a bit of snow tonight when the temps drop.
