Winter is swiftly approaching and whether you're a fan of the cold or not, snow season is upon us.
While some states are warmer than others this time of year, it's never a bad idea to spend some time in what has grown to be considered one of the "best winter destinations" in the U.S.
Be it perfect temperatures (in states where sunshine trumps snow), fun ski resorts, stunning scenes, or winter activities for the whole family, something about this unique place lands it on top of the list of the best winter destinations in Massachusetts.
According to a list compiled by Reader's Digest, the best winter destination in Massachusetts is The Berkshires. This location was praised for its picturesque villages and delicious restaurants.
Here's what Reader's Digest had to say about the best winter destination in the entire state:
"The rural area of the Berkshires in western Massachusetts is known not only for its ski resorts and outdoor winter activities, but for cozy bed and breakfasts, top-notch restaurants, picturesque villages, and its focus and art and music. In mid-February, the 10×10 UpStreet Arts and Music festival comes to Pittsfield; before then, visitors can check out a performance at The Colonial Theatre, and view masterpieces at the Clark Art Institute or the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. Foodies can dine at the historic stagecoach stop The Old Inn on the Green or newer hot spot Alta."
