Despite over a foot of snow falling around much of Upstate New York last weekend, the spring-like temperatures have proved too much for local ski resorts to continue.
This week over 1400 collegiate athletes are competing in Lake Placid for the 2023 FISU Winter World University Games. The site of two Winter Olympic competitions in 1932 and 1980 provided the perfect infrastructure for the international event. However, many of the competition sites and training areas needed drastic updating to be considered for such a high-profile winter sports event. In stepped the State of New York and the Lake Placid is shining with Gold Medals.
Winter is right around the corner, and there are lots of new things coming to Whiteface Mountain to enjoy the season. New trails, a new lift, a new lodge, and more snow.
From lakefront cabins to nighttime tubing under the lights, New York is home to a wide variety of winter activities. These 11 need to be added to your winter bucket list.
Imagine snuggling up in front of a fire in your own lakefront chalet, among snow-covered pine trees. The Adirondacks are home to the perfect winter retreat where you can do just that.
Every day is a snow day at the first indoor, real-snow, year-round ski and snowboard resort in North America that's a short drive from central New York.
