Skiing, snowboarding and tubing have become must do winter activities. Whether you’re a newbie trying to manage the bunny hill or an expert showing off on the black diamonds, these winter sports has something for everyone. Not only is visiting a ski resort fun for the family but they are also a great outing for you and your friends.
These selections not only provide you with the hills and snow, but also ski or bored rentals, boot rentals and lesions should you need it. Confidently located around the New York area, why not spend a weekend zipping down a mountain for some well-earned excitement (you know you deserve it).

Stay at the Crystal Springs Resort where there are activities for kids such as game rooms and pools. There is also a huge wine cellar, which allows you to have your pick after a long day on the trails!

3. Camelback Ski Resort
