Hi Divas,
I'm so glad I found this forum! I'm looking for recommendations for mountains in the Northeast that are good for advanced beginners. I know how to ski & have my own gear, but I haven't been skiing for that long (I learned at 16 and I'm 28 now, I only go skiing twice a season if I can even get out there so I can't even really say I've been skiing for 12 years haha). I can stop, turn, and all that jazz. I finally have a winter where I can get out on the mountain often and I really want to make progress. I usually stick to greens and will do some blues if I'm feeling confident. My husband is an excellent skier and I want to be able to keep up with him (vs. him slowing down with me haha).
We usually go to Stowe once a winter and I've been to Sunapee, Okemo, Jay's Peak, Ski Sundown, and Mt. Southington. I'd love to try new places, but I'm scared that when we get there, I'll find out the mountain is above my ability.
What I'm looking for is two-fold:
We live south of Boston so ideally if we're making a hike & staying overnight, I'd rather it be to a mountain with lots of trails I can do while lessons would be something within a day trip (less than 3 hours) that my in-laws can meet as at to ski with my husband.
Thank you!

What I'm looking for is two-fold:
- A mountain where there are plenty of beginner-esque trails to spend a day
- A great lesson program where I can spend a morning and send my husband off to double black diamonds with his dad and brother
