Belleayre has five of the latest grooming machines that can freshen 120 miles of terrain in a single night. Mount Peter, a small, family ski area only 50 miles from Manhattan in Warwick, can make enough snow that enables the resort to be open from mid – December to March. Dozens of New York ski areas, like Greek Peak outside Cortland, are into the booming night Skiing business.

Whiteface's double black diamond slides, which require hiking above the Whiteface summit quad lift, were open only nine days last season due to conditions like avalanche threat. Genuine Backcountry Skiing starts at 4,650 feet, the top of a possible 2.5-mile run to the base and dropping 3,430 vertical feet. The ranges of a windswept Adirondack high peak are also the coldest places to ski in New York.

At the southern edge of the Adirondacks, you can cross - country ski on a network of trails at Lapland Lake in Northville, a resort founded 32 years ago by Olavi Hirvonen, after he skied for the U.S. Olympic team.

Located on the western edge of the Finger Lakes Regions, the Letchworth State Park in Castile, a 17-mile park, has thick forests and the Genesee River runs through its gorges and waterfalls. With 66 miles of hiking trails, the park is open on winter weekends and holidays for both Cross - country Skiing and snowmobiling.
