I've always loved sledding. The brisk winter wind in your face, the thrill of the ride at the top of the hill, and the exhilaration of speed. Plus, I feel like it puts us on a level playing field, if you pardon the pun. At least it does in the world of winter sports. Not everyone is a skier, skater or snowboarder. But most of us can sit on a sled and move down a hill. If that's something you enjoy, you should ride New England's largest snow tubing park, it's in Massachusetts.
If you are ready to play in the reindeer games of snowy fun, head to Westford. That's where you'll find the largest snow tubing park in Massachusetts, and all of New England! It's Nashoba Valley Ski area. Recently, Only In Massachusetts shared it's enthusiasm for the park, describing it's amenities.
Snow, Show and Go
According to the article, there are 18 lanes at Nashoba. So, you won't have to worry about running into your fellow tuber. And everyone may like sledding or tubing, but no one likes the hike back up the slope. This snow tubing park takes care of that with 4 lifts. So you can pack in plenty of runs during your 2 hour time slot. You just have to book your slot.
No need to pack up your ski gear and walk around in clunky boots. Just show up with appropriate clothing! Nashoba Valley provides you with the snow tubes. No personal tubes are permitted. When the snow's up, just show up and go up. All that's left is the sweet ride down.
There is a minimum age requirement of 6 years old and a minimum height qualification of 42 inches. Oh, and make sure you check the snow conditions before making your plans. No snow. No go. You can check it on the Nashoba Valley Tubing Facebook page. For times, tickets and more information, click HERE.

The good news, though, is that most people take vacations in the summer, so traveling in the winter can be a bit more relaxing. You are also able to usually find better travel rates during the winter season, except during the holidays. If you don't have to travel during the holidays, just don't, because it's a mess. So, what are the best winter getaways in the U.S.?
I've researched some of the most popular winter vacation destinations in hopes of finding the perfect spot. The following list includes not just sunny, warm getaways, but also some areas that people who love snow can enjoy. Honestly, many people who live in a warm climate like to flock to a snowy location for a bit during the winter to get that seasonal experience, even if that seems counter intuitive. Of course, those who live in the northern parts of America love to go to a warm spot and get away from their daily lives filled with snow and ice.
I'm a Michigan girl, so I'm very familiar with the cold and ice in the winter. Not that I like it. Each year, I say I'm going to escape, even if it's just for a few days, to a warmer location. But, I never do. Maybe this year will be different. Looking at vacation rates, it's fairly easy to find some good deals, again, if it's not during the holiday travel season.
