This may be cheating (it's more of an overnight trip if you want to make it worthwhile), but Burlington is terrific New England town in northern Vermont. It's beautiful in winter as well as summer, as it is close to many ski mountains and right on the majestic Lake Champlain. Burlington's driving force is unquestionably the University of Vermont. 3.5 hrs from Boston. (Any time) |
