They provide the snow as long as it's cold enough. Unfortunately they are at the mercy of the weather, so sometimes their other trails beyond the main loop are not in use. As other reviews have mentioned, it does lean towards beginners. For myself I'm looking to cross country ski for maybe a couple of hours at most and I don't go that fast so Weston Ski Track is perfect for me. They offer a range of lessons for both kids and adults and for classic touring and skating styles. I took a classic touring class recently and had a fun time. The day passes are only $13 and you can purchase them ahead online. They also offer rentals. Plenty of parking, very friendly staff, and helpful signs on where to pick up passes and rentals.

I fell a bunch... lol but still had a blast! The only interactions we had with any staff was then asking them our size of skis... and the girl working the lift was nice. Overall I'd say to go if you're looking for a few hours of fun on the slopes not too far from Boston!

This year, we had a ton of snow late Feb and early March, and then lots of warm weather and sunshine before they got here. Being the demented grandma I am, I PAID to go where they make snow. We actually went snowtubing on the very last day of their season. The price was reasonable, if I don't consider how stupid it was to spend all that money for snow at the end of a NE winter. I think about $30 each for a six-pack of kids. I should have brought my rolling walker - the trek from the parking lot was not made for old wrecks like me. They had one tubing area open, with possibly 4 inches of snow and a few bare patches. That's it for my bellyaching. None of my issues were the fault of this property - just a ridiculous situation. Anyway, the staff was absolutely wonderful - friendly, responsive, helpful - just a lovely bunch of people. The kids, who never see any snow, were totally impressed with a patchy 4 inches and must have gone down that hill about 50 times each.They had a wonderful experience despite the circumstances. The facilities, including some food service, were quite nice, and I had to drag my gang away when they were closing. There is absolutely nothing they could have done here on this day to make it any more successful. I know that this seems like left-handed praise, but it isn't. I paid my money and asked for what amounted to a miracle on a warm spring day and got it, accompanied by great, friendly, fun service. The day was fabulous all around.

My son and I checked out The Haunting at The Ridge, which includes a chairlift ride to the top of the mountain and a 45-minute hike down through haunted trails, pumpkin patches, and zombie lounges. We had a blast. The chairlift was super cool, and the ride up was kinda spooky. While you're on the lift, you can see the trail below. It's downhill, so wear good shoes. The trail was pretty fun, with some jump-scare moments where characters jump out to scare you. At the end, you can grab a bite, chill at the tables, have a drink, and listen to the band. I'd totally go back for the experience.

But If you're going to rent you must purchase the ticket for the lift and rental at the same time.
