Snowboarding

There is one nearby ski resort that checks all of the boxes for affordability, low crowds, and beauty.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Although I am not an avid skier, I was surprised to learn that one of the local mountains has opened for business. They are the only ones so far to declare that ski season has begun.

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 seems logical that if kids wear helmets on their bicycles, then they should definitely wear them when they are skiing or snowboarding. I thought it already was a law, but apparently it wasn't. Now legislation is moving forward for this to become a law.

We may as well embrace the snow and take a look at this list for ways to actually enjoy the snow this year instead of always complaining about it.
