Cockaigne ski area, New York
|
| | The fluffy snow here becomes incredibly deep, 23 feet annually, and that is a fantastically tremendous depth. This is a relaxed ski area boasting a cozier than average vertical drop compared to other east coast ski areas. All of the 4 different ski lifts make for a calming ride up the mountain. Cockaigne has the largest vertical drop for 33 miles. There's 100 acres of skiable area, and all of it makes for wonderful skiing. The annual snowfall is greater than average at this ski area. A 430 foot drop from top to bottom |
|
is of course not that much, but all the other glorious properties of Cockaigne compensate for it. Cockaigne has a much lower than average proportion of red and black slopes and a much higher than average fraction of easy slopes. A little exercise and an opportunity
| | to spend some time in the wilderness will have you coming back for more. Snowboarding and skiing in this part of New York is scores of fun during the snow season. All the 15 ski trails here are enjoyable to ski on. Cockaigne has a fairly small mixture of slopes and a rather small sum of ski lifts. This is a nice location for the whole family with scores of intermediate or beginner runs. Whether you're skiing or snowboarding, in this general neighborhood, you'll come across a lot of ski resorts. There aren’t any hotel | |
|
|
rooms in close proximity, but if you're ready to voyage a small distance then no problem, but you'd better reserve in advance of a trip given that these hotel rooms fill up quickly. When this segment of New York is blanketed in snow; it is truly a pleasant time of year for snowboarding or skiing.
