PEAKS OF PERFECTION

DOWNHILL
New York has over 50 downhill ski areas, more
than any other state. In fact, there's great skiing
within an hour of all our major cities. Getting
to the mountains is easy; and less travel time
means more time on the slopes!

Ski an Olympic mountain or hit the
bunny trail. There's terrain to suit
every level, from beginner to black
diamond. From Hunter Mountain
in the Catskills to Holiday Valley
in western New York, many resorts
offer slopeside lodging for easy
ski-in/ski-out access. Most have ski
schools and kids' programs along
with cozy lodges and great dining
options. Nighttime skiing and snowtubing add extra hours of fun.

Whiteface Lake Placid (whiteface.com),
a two-time Olympic site in the
Adirondacks, boasts the greatest
vertical in the East. Ski and ride
with amazing views of pristine
lakes, forests and 45 High Peaks.
