Best Sledding Spots in the Boston Area

Now that we finally have a little snow, I wanted to make sure you all knew where you and the kids (or just you) can have some old-fashioned sledding fun. Instead of going to your same old spot, you know the one everyone and their brother goes to so you can barely find an inch of space. We’ve got a list of some of the best spots for you to try, some close, others a bit farther.
