We’ve had a good amount of snow this winter in NYC.  Some of you have gone skiing and some may have even taken advantage of the snowfall and went cross country skiing in the streets! If you have never tried skiing or are just a beginner, like myself, you will love this deal. No car necessary!

Thunder Ridge Ski is just 70 miles north of the city in Patterson, New York. Thunder Ridge Ski Area’s scenic slopes are perfect for all levels of skiers and snowboarders, from beginner to expert.

The Day package includes: Discount round-trip rail fare, all-day/all-night lift ticket, shuttle to/from the train station to the ski area and a $5 discount on rental equipment.
