Winter in New York

Get up and go—winter fun is in New York

Cottages and cabins, ski slopes, tubing, and spas are just some of the many things that await this season.

Ski like an Olympian at Whiteface Mountain in Lake Placid, home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. Snowshoe the 35-mile towpath along the Old Erie Canal or take the family snowmobiling through an Alpine wonderland at Tug Hill. And when it's time to warm up, kick your feet up by a winter bonfire at resorts from Mohonk Mountain House to Hunter Mountain and more.

Don't hide from the snow, get up and go explore New York! 

Ski resorts can reopen with 50 percent indoor capacity and with strict health and safety protocols under state-issued guidance starting Friday, November 6. Please remember to keep six feet apart from others not in your party and wear a mask or face covering at all times when not skiing, eating, or drinking. Call ahead and check websites and social media to make sure attractions are open and available. Be advised that New York has a travel advisory in effect, which requires anyone traveling from certain states to quarantine for 14 days upon entering New York State.
