For many people, winter means cozying up by the fire and sipping hot chocolate. However, sometimes so much time inside can get you itching to hit the ski slopes! Luckily, New York has plenty of great ski resorts for you to choose from. Here are some resorts that are family-friendly and great for people of all skill levels.
During the summer, the Catskills are great place for outdoor sports. During the winter, many skiers and snowboarders head over there to slide down the mountains. Hunter Mountain is family-friendly and offers many different types of lift ticket options for children. They also offer snow tubing and college student season passes! Season ticket holders have the added advantage of being able to skip the line, giving them a chance to have great ski experiences all winter long.
This resort offers different activities all-year round, so if you enjoy your time there you can always visit again later in the year. Its 53 trails offer visitors plenty of options to choose from. Afterwards, you can warm up in their spa. Although the massive amount of trails might seem daunting to beginners, don’t worry because they also offer daily classes!
Thunder Ridge is only about one hour outside of the city, making it great for a day trip. If you have younger children who would rather not hit the slopes, you can use the resort’s babysitting service at a low price. However, there are plenty of easy trails for them to start off on if they decide to give it a try.
