Massachusetts Mountain Is One Of The Best For Snowtubing In The U.S.

Author Jeff Gorra

Skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating get the majority of the winter activity attention. However, snowtubing may be the most fun of them all. USA Today‘s 10BEST recently detailed the best spots in America to go snowtubing and a Massachusetts mountain was named.

“Whether it’s your first time playing in the snow or you grew up on the mountain, you can enjoy a day of slipping and sliding at these ten places,” 10BEST explained. They also detail how cost-effective partaking in this thrilling activity is in comparison to many of the other winter sports. This is due to the fact that no bulking equipment is actually needed.

Snowtubing often falls into the category of a fallback plan. Perhaps you didn’t get to the ski mountain in time. Or you are just looking for something to do. It is essentially the mini golf of winter. However, like mini golf, once you are in the midst of the experience, you realize how incredibly fun it is. Furthermore, if you really want complete snowtubing exhilaration, try zipping down at night under a lit-up trail.

The Massachusetts mountain that was recognized for having the best snowtubing offers special Friday night rides.

Butternut Ski Area and Tubing Center In Great Barrington, Massachusetts, Ranked #8

At Butternut there’s even an 10-lane snowtubing course. “We now offer hundreds of tubes, up to 10 tubing lanes and a Magic Carpet Lift that makes getting back to the top of the Tubing hill easy,” Butternut states. Their hills here are covered in freshly made snow to ensure the proper ride.

Each rider is required to tube on their own. In addition, as a group, you can pursue a private session when the space is available. The price for tubing at Butternut is either $25 or $35, depending upon what day and time you go.

It is also worth noting that two other New England area mountains made 10BEST’s snowtubing list. Cranmore Mountain in North Conway, New Hampshire, ranked #5. Then, King Pine Mountain in Madison, New Hampshire, ranked #6.

3 New England Restaurants Ranked For Having Best Breakfast Sandwiches

As a father of four, my mornings are always a bit hectic. I enjoy being an early bird; however, I rarely have the time to prep a good breakfast. Therefore, I was quite thrilled to see that Tasting Table recognized three New England restaurants for having the best breakfast sandwiches in the country. I’m always looking for a good quick breakfast.

A morning in my world usually consists of a sunrise workout, followed by a scramble to get myself and the kids out of the house. Then I embark on an hour-long drive to the office. On the weekends, it’s taking one of my kids to their sports game. Let’s focus on the latter for a moment.

While I am more lenient on my breakfast choice (a banana or shake will do), I insist upon a healthy start for the little guys. Driving them all around New England on weekends requires a few drive-thru meals that you eat in the car. My preference is for the kids to have something substantial, with a protein they enjoy. A breakfast sandwich is often the choice.

The perfect breakfast sandwich should follow three simple rules. It’s quick, both to order and make. It’s fresh (not a microwaved egg slab pulled out of plastic). Finally, it’s a balanced hand-held item that is not too heavy, processed or sugar-filled.

When trekking through interstates and unfamiliar towns at sunrise, it’s easy to settle upon the quickest Dunkin’ Donuts. Now, there are some other options that you (and I) should know about. These three New England restaurants ranking among the best breakfast sandwiches in the country.

Before we get into the list, it is necessary to give one other shout-out. The Portland, Oregon establishment named by Tasting Table has both the best restaurant and sandwich name. The “Yolko Ono” by Fried Egg I’m In Love.

  • Massachusetts - "Geno's Egg Sandwich"

    Sofra Bakery and Café in Cambridge, MA, is the first stop. Tasting Table calls out “Geno’s Egg Sandwich.” This is a brioche bun filled with egg topped with halloumi cheese, feta butter, tomato concasse, and spicy green cilantro.

  • New Hampshire - "Egg Simit"

    Next, we hop on 95 North and pull into the Elephantine Bakery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Here the selected breakfast sandwich is called the “Egg Simit.” It’s the healthiest of the three choices based on pure ingredients. This sandwich consists of egg, hummus, beat pistachio spread, feta, and spinach on a sesame simit.

  • Maine - "The Breakfast Sandwich"

    I actually had a very hard time securing a quick bacon, egg, and cheese this past spring while in Maine for a lacrosse tournament. Now I know I need to go to a coffee shop next time. Tandem Coffee has something so good, it doesn’t even need a clever name. “The Breakfast Sandwich” is simply egg, American cheese, and smoked paprika. However, when you rest it upon a homemade buttermilk biscuit, you reach a new level.
