Somewhere not too expensive, fun, with other activities besides just skiing. Doesnt have to be close to the city, but not far away like 8 hours away.

Hunter Mountain and Wyndam Mountain are the two closest ski areas to the city.
If you want to go a little further, then try Killington in Vermont.
Even further...Whiteface in Lake Placid is a really great ski area, and there is plenty of other wintery things you can do there.

The best skiing in america is Park City/ Deer Valley, UT. Deer Valley is consistantly ranked #1 or #2 in usa (Vail is other top choice). Easy to get to - SLC airport is only 40 minutes away. Sundance Film Festival bring wild social scene.

I've been skiing at Hunter Mountain & snowboarding at Wyndham. I also did some snow tubing at Hunter and I know you can do night skiing/swimming at Wyndham. The prices aren't bad either.Have fun!

Try Hunter Mountain in Greene County. It's the county south of Albany and it's in the Catskills. Driving from NYC, tops three hours.

"Hunter mt." It's close, almost too close, you'll see everyone you know, the slopes are named after streets in NYC, it is fun though, don't go on Sun, mid week is best, If you leave on Fri nite, you can see all the tail lights heading north from NYC, north to "Hunter Mt.", Long Underwear, Scarf, goggles, extra gloves, Heavy sox, are a MUST !
