Going On A Snowboarding Trip? Don’t Forget About New York

The New York Times has an in-depth article this weekend about New York State, and how about it doesn’t often get the props it deserves. If you’re in the east, the article recommends, you might want to think New York:

“People mention skiing in Vermont and everyone thinks of white church steeples, village greens and a romantic country atmosphere,” said Sandy Caligiore, communications director for the state-run Olympic Regional Development Authority, which manages Whiteface and Gore Mountain, another large ski area outside Lake George. “When someone says New York, they think of Manhattan and skyscrapers. Someone says New York skiing and somebody else thinks: How good can that be? But it’s a big state. It’s mostly country villages and big mountains.”

I’ve always wanted to make a visit to Lake Placid, which has hosted the Winter Olympics twice, but once I decide to travel I always go somewhere, well, more popular. Which I suppose is the problem!
