About this resort

Easton Ski Area

Easton Ski Area is a small ski resort in Massachusetts that offers a fun and affordable skiing experience. The best trails can be found on the north side of the resort, with the "Birches" and "Maple" runs being particularly enjoyable. A little-known fact about the resort is that it was founded by a group of local businessmen in the 1960s and was originally called "Olde Ridge Ski Area." For beginners, the "Bunny Hill" slope is the perfect place to learn the basics of skiing. After a day on the slopes, the nearby "Burger Bar" is a great place to grab a bite to eat and relax with friends.

Terrain mix: The Easton Ski Area in Massachusetts is located in the vicinity of the Blue Hills Reservation, a small mountain range in eastern Massachusetts. The highest point in this range is Great Blue Hill, which stands at 635 feet (194 meters) above sea level. The ski area itself is situated on a section of the Blue Hills known as the Houghton's Pond area.

While not a traditional ski resort with large mountain ranges and expansive slopes, the Easton Ski Area offers a smaller and more intimate skiing experience for locals and visitors in the area. It is known for its beginner-friendly terrain and family-friendly atmosphere.

471 FXUS61 KBOX 120617 AFDBOX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 217 AM EDT Mon Oct 12 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Sped up exit of rain this morning. Increased rain chances and winds for the late week/weekend storm as confidence increases. && .KEY MESSAGES... - After a dry, warmer, and increasingly sunny Monday low clouds and rain showers return Tuesday/Tuesday night with a rumble of thunder possible. - Drying out Wednesday and especially Thursday under high pressure. - Next, stronger storm system arrives Friday into Saturday. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...After a dry and increasingly sunny Monday low clouds and rain showers return Tuesday/Tuesday night with a rumble of thunder possible. Satellite shows the primary low impacting southern New England spinning south of the islands this morning as it makes its way east. Rain has already come to an end in parts of western MA as the mid level dry slot moves in and this will continue to spread east, shutting off precipitation from west to east by sunrise. A drier atmospheric column makes a brief appearance overhead today as a transient mid level ridge moves through. Thus, can expect clearing skies today with plenty of sun, especially in the afternoon. This ridging also brings a push of warmer air; 925 mb temps rising into the 14-16C range together with full sun should make for high temperatures 10-15 degrees warmer than Sunday, in the low 70s. Monday night things change as a low center over the Great Lakes approaches while high pressure sits over Nova Scotia. This initially turns surface flow out of the northeast advecting cooler, saturated air onshore making for low clouds with patchy drizzle to start Tuesday. This brings highs back into the 60s. The warm front lifts north Tuesday afternoon bringing scattered rain showers which continue until the cold front drops through sometime Wednesday. SNE will be socked in with clouds all of Tuesday and Tuesday night as moisture remains trapped under a strong inversion. Could even see some rumbles of thunder given some weak elevated instability above that inversion. Elevated dewpoints will also lead to mild lows, in the upper 50s and low 60s. KEY MESSAGE 2...Drying out Wednesday and especially Thursday under high pressure. Wednesday things begin to dry out behind the cold front and the inversion mixes out allowing for a mix of clouds and sun. However, a stronger reinforcing cold front brings a much cooler and drier airmass for Thursday as high pressure arrives. 925mb temps drop to near 6C leading to highs only in the low 60s under mostly sunny skies. KEY MESSAGE 3...Next storm system arrives Friday into Saturday. Our next storm, this one likely stronger than the mid week system, originates out west Thursday. A low forms in the lee of the Rockies, phasing with another low over the Great Lakes as it is swept east by a northern stream trough. It then strengthens as it moves over or near New England Friday into Saturday. This pulls a lot of moisture into the region and with good dynamics including potential for a strong 45-55kt LLJ and favorable placement beneath the RRQ of a 160kt upper jet, we should see a windy and very rainy Friday- Saturday. Timing and other details are uncertain at this time, but confidence in at least a decently strong weather system is increasing. && .AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Forecaster Confidence Levels... Low - less than 30 percent. Moderate - 30 to 60 percent. High - greater than 60 percent. 06Z update... Through 12Z: High confidence. RA comes to an end by 12Z.

Light winds increasing and becoming NE 5-10 kts toward 12Z. Scattered SHRA/DZ moves in with IFR/MVFR. Tuesday: High confidence. IFR/MVFR. E winds becoming S 5-10kts in scattered SHRA. KBOS Terminal...High confidence in trends, moderate confidence in timing. Biggest question will be how quickly RA ends and cigs lift..most likely rain ending by 11Z and VFR by 15z. KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF. Outlook /Tuesday Night through Friday/... Tuesday Night: Mainly VFR, with local IFR possible. Breezy. Chance SHRA, slight chance TSRA. Wednesday through Thursday: VFR. Breezy. Thursday Night: VFR. Chance SHRA. Friday: VFR. Windy with local gusts up to 30 kt. SHRA. && .MARINE... Forecaster Confidence Levels...

Mountain & avalanche safety

Know before you go
Check today's avalanche bulletin from the regional avalanche center before any off-piste / side-country / backcountry travel. Conditions can shift dramatically between morning and afternoon on storm days.
Carry the gear, know how to use it
Beacon, shovel, probe. Practice companion rescue on a calm day, not during a real burial.
Mind the weather window
Heavy snow + wind builds wind slabs at ridgelines. The day after a storm is often the riskiest in the backcountry, even if the resort itself is open.
Respect closed terrain
Ropes are there for a reason. Even in-bounds, ducking a closure can trigger a slide that catches you and others below.

FAQ

About Easton Ski Area

Where does the snow data for Easton Ski Area come from?

Snowpack, SWE, 24-hour snowfall, and air temperature come from the nearest USDA NRCS SNOTEL station. Forecast comes from the National Weather Service / yr.no feed that Snoflo's iOS app uses.

How often is the snow report updated?

Snowpack and SNOTEL data are updated continuously by NRCS (typically hourly). The 15-day weather forecast is refreshed throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- look for the "as of" timestamp on the snowpack hero.

What's the elevation at Easton Ski Area?

See the Resort Metrics panel above for base / summit / vertical drop. The summit elevation drives snowpack accumulation -- higher summits hold snow longer through spring.

How is "% of normal" calculated?

Today's snowpack is compared to the average snowpack on this calendar day across every recorded year at the nearest SNOTEL. 100% means right on average; 130% is a big year; 60% is thin.

What ski resorts are near Easton Ski Area?

See the Other Ski Areas pill grid at the bottom of the page for resorts within driving distance. The sister Other Ski Areas card in the Plan-a-longer-trip grid above shows the closest few.

Can I get alerts when fresh snow hits?

Yes -- snow alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this resort, set a snowfall threshold (e.g. "alert me when 6+ inches"), and you'll get a push the moment the SNOTEL crosses.
