"New York has a variety of mountains, regions, and surrounding activities that should all be taken into account before you book your trip. Surprisingly, New York has more ski resorts than any other state (yes, we are also counting New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont)."
"Keep in mind that we are not Colorado or the Alps, but we do have variety and a whole bunch of mountains just waiting for you to strap on some skis and slide down. We have everything from Olympic-class downhill slopes to majestic cross-country ski trails throughout the state. There is something here for every age and level of skier. It’s anyone’s winter wonderland and it’s here to be enjoyed."
