Season & Hours: Great Brook Ski Touring Center operates daily, snow conditions permitting, from December 1 until March 20. Inclement weather can alter these times so call ahead if it's questionable.

Night Skiing: Great Brook offers night skiing by lantern light on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, conditions permitting. Lanterns are lit on the 1-mile Lantern Loop from sunset until 9:00 PM allowing skiers the chance to admire the combination of brilliant night sky and glimmering snow. This is an especially worthwhile experience during a full moon. Headlamps and other forms of lighting are not permitted as they negatively affect other skiers.

Great Brook Farm State Park's Winter Use Policy: When adequate snow cover exists between December 1 and March 20, the groomed ski trails (which are east of Lowell St.) are open only to paid skiers. Tickets for the groomed trails can be purchased at the ski touring center at 1018 Lowell St. Those who do not wish to purchase a trail pass and who have their own ski equipment are encouraged to use the ungroomed trails located west of Lowell St. Inquire at the ski touring center for a map of these trails. Walkers, horseback riders, and all other users are prohibited from using the groomed ski trails during these periods, but are permitted to use the trails west of Lowell St. Park at the ski touring center and look for the trailhead across the street. Contact the Park Headquarters at (978) 369-6312 for more information.
