Nashoba Valley, Westford MA

This is a little gem that I would frequent if it were closer. It's tucked away and minus the crowds of people, has a surprisingly rural feel to it. Matter of fact, I felt like a farmer had given me permission to ski on his hillside field complete with beautiful stonewalls. Kept thinking I would spot a cow or two grazing. The weather was gorgeous - sunny and warm - which may have contributed to the wonderful ambiance in among the pines. It was very neat and pristine. My favorite spot was to the left when looking up the hill. By noon the warm temps had made the snow too soft and the crowds were thickening like an overstuffed chicken coop so I called it a day, a "happy" day.
