Boston Winter 24-Hour Adventure: Ice Castle, Skiing & BBQ 🏔️❄️

On December 31st at 5:15 PM sharp, we braved the -5°C weather and drove north from Boston for a 24-hour winter escape. We checked into a clean, budget-friendly motel with free breakfast, spacious rooms, and peaceful surroundings. 📍Woodwards White Mountain Resort, BW Signature Collection, 527 US-3, Lincoln, NH 03251 With no traffic delays, we arrived at Basecamp Brewing in -12°C New Hampshire by 7 PM. Two beers and some fried chicken warmed us right up. 🍻🍗 📍Basecamp Brewing Co., 25 S Mountain Dr, Lincoln, NH 03251 At 8 PM, we visited the magical Ice Castles—snapped stunning photos, sledded down snow tubes, and glided on ice slides. The neon-lit icy wonderland felt like a dream, especially after stopping for drinks at the cozy ice bar. Back at the motel, we shared some late-night snacks and drinks, chatting about everything until 1 AM. 💬✨ 📍Ice Castles, 24 Clark Farm Rd, North Woodstock, NH 03262 The next morning, just an 8-minute drive brought us to Loon Mountain, where we hopped on the 8 AM gondola and conquered dozens of ski slopes. We skied until our legs were weak, then warmed up with pancakes and hot chocolate by the fireplace at a local pancake house. ⛷️☕ 📍Loon Mountain Resort, 60 Loon Mountain Rd, Lincoln, NH 03251 For dinner, we headed to Burlington for Japanese BBQ, beer, and whiskey at Gyu-Kaku—a perfect way to wrap up our 24-hour adventure. 🥩🍶 This was the ultimate winter escape from the freezing Boston weather—packed with fun, food, and unforgettable memories! #BostonLife #BostonStudyAbroad #BostonWeekend #BostonFoodDiary #BostonFoodMap #BostonStudentLife #BostonFoodAdventures #BostonWeekendGetaway #BostonFood
