Belleayre Mountain Ski Center

If you're new to skiing or have been doing it forever, this is the best spot in upstate New York. They have a gondola, several great lifts, and varied terrain. I would highly recommend this mountain over Hunter Mountain, especially on weekends... Let us know if you need help with ski passes.

Skiing, summer concerts, scenic gondola rides.

Our closest ski field . Great for beginners .

Another local ski area about 30mins from the cottage. Good terrain and options for beginners to experts. State-run/owned so pricing may be a little better than the other local options. During Covid, wise to check for reservation requirements ahead of traveling to the resort.

Lovely in winter for skiing or summer for the views up the gondola and hiking. In summer you can also visit Belleayre beach, a small lake where you can swim and dive, hire paddle boards and boats.
