Do you love to get out and enjoy winter sports? Unfortunately, 2023 didn’t bring much snow to Massachusetts. However, the Farmers Almanac predicts a very different story for winter 2024. If you are looking for a fun place to enjoy all this snowy weather, you don’t have to drive very far. Wachusett Mountain in Princeton, Massachusetts is a wonderful place to enjoy a winter day! If you grew up in New England as I did, you probably recognize the Wa-Wa-Wachusett jingle!

Wachusett Mountain is less than an hour’s drive from Boston, so it is a perfect place for a day trip or a quick weekend getaway. You can also take the commuter rail straight from Boston’s North Station to the nearby Wachusett stop. From there, you can easily get to the ski area via shuttle bus or Uber.
