Closest "good" mountain biking to MetroWest Boston area?

[Beast_Ed]

I'm west of Boston and don't want to go to Killington to ride every weekend. Is there a "good" place to go that's close by?

Here's what I'm looking for -

1) Lots of riders, so it's fun out there and I'm not by myself
2) Good terrain, single track, nice views, etc.
3) A bike shop, in case I break something on my bike
4) Optional: A chairlift (if I'm feeling lazy)

Thoughts?

There is a place in Tilton, NH. I forget the name but it is NELSAP area. Someone will else remember the name.

Highland mountain bike park. I've never been, but it's supposed to be pretty rad. There's several videos floating around.

Looks like it's about 1.5 hours from Boston.

Here's a recent thread on Highland, including some videos if you're interested:

Mt Snow is about 2 hrs if you want lift-serve.
