SKIING, i am going skiing next week. the following is a list of nearby ski resorts:
1)WINDHAM MOUNTAIN. beatiful skiing area and snowtubing. very nice area to sit and rest. they have about 50 fantastic trails including beginner..intermediet..hard..expert..
its about 3 hours from brooklyn. it’s 85 miles up the thruway, near tannersville, albany.

2)HUNTER MOUNTAIN. THIS is probably the best skiing are near nyc. but the bad part is that on weekends and holidays all the teenagers go there and they ski wildly so it is not so pleasant. they have close to 60 great trails. it is also around 3 hours from brooklyn. and also straight 80 miles on the thruway.
3) Camelback ski area. this is i think in the poconos about 2 hours from brooklyn. it is a good ski area but not as good as hunter or windham. it has about 40 trails
4)shawnee mountain. also close to two hours away from brooklyn in the poconos. it has about 35-40 trails. it is also not as good as hunter and windham.
HAVE FUN!!!
