We finally got some significant snow this winter and the Upstate New York ski resorts are churning out fresh powder to add to it. This weekend you can ski for free at a popular local ski mountain close to the Capital Region.

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.

Are you looking for something fun to do with your family during the cold winter months? If so, look no further than West Mountain. They offer a variety of 2 or 3-day winter camps during December break, February break, and Martin Luther King Weekend.

This may be your last chance!

The Berkshires have many small ski resorts and one that has been closed down for fifteen years may be getting some new life. Brodie Mountain ski resort has yet another new owner.

The Adirondacks are filled with amazing ski resorts including the largest in all of New York state. We are lucky because it's just an hour north of the Capital Region. Gore Mountain has announced that it will be doing a major makeover over the next couple of years.

Passionate skiers and snowboarders in the Northeast have been lucky in years past to make quick, spontaneous day trips to some the best mountains and trails anywhere in the country.  Got some fresh powder on a snowy Friday?  Head to Mt. Snow or Okemo on Saturday.  That won't be the case for the upcoming winter ski season as many area ski resorts have been forced to change the way they do business

There is a program for kids to learn how to ski and snowboard at mountains in and around the Capital Region. If you are looking to get your kid on the slopes, it won't break the bank.

Skiers the wait is over! A popular Capital Region ski destination is opening for the season this weekend. It's the earliest opening in over fifty years.

When you think West Mountain, do you think winter? With these new summer-time additions, it may be where you'll be spending all of your time year-round!

It was a great season for skiers in the area but you don't have to accept that it's over yet. There is one mountain that will be open on Saturday for skiing. Yes SNOW skiing.

If you are a ski or snowboarder, good news. Mountains in and around the Capital Region are going to extend the ski season, some up to three extra weeks.
