January is a time for fun

Fun in New England in January can translate into many different forms. I will list a couple and there could not be any greater contrast between the two that I am going to list than the physical exertion required. They both require a huge amount of concentration and brain exertion.

Skiing in New England is available in every state. Yes, even Rhode Island. Where you choose to ski depends on how far you want to travel, how good a skier you are and how much you are willing to pay.
Check out more about each ski area at the 60 individual ski area links below:







Connecticut has 4:

Maine 11
New Hampshire 16

Pats Peak Ski Area

Massachusetts 11
Rhode Island 1


Another winter pastime in New England is Casinos and the options are growing all the time. Most casinos offer hotels, spas, restaurants as well as concerts along with gaming.  Again the choices include Rhode Island but not Massachusetts or Vermont. Another option in most coastal states gaming is accomodated via cruise ships. With Vermont you have neither but across the border in New York there are several. Massachusetts has several proposals on the table in several areas, eastern, central and western parts of the state. 
New Hampshire:
Bangor
Hollywood Casino Hotel and Raceway
Oxford

Rhode Island:
Lincoln
Newport
