Thunder Ridge ski area, New York
|
| | I've been skiing at thunder ridge since I was 5. So when I moved, it was a HUGE disapiontment to have such good skiing taken away. says Jack.
I come out here from New York a few times every winter to get some good skiing. It's a pretty decent place. says Carol.
The nearest ski hill in possession of a higher drop is 25 miles away. This is a petite ski area in possession of a relatively cozy drop compared to other east coast ski hills. All in all there are 30 ski runs to choose from; it's a magnificent |

set. This ski hill has a much lower than average proportion of tough ski runs and a much higher than average ratio of intermediate or beginner trails. This ski resort gets covered by 8 feet of fluffy snow yearly, and that keeps the coverage wonderful. Thunder
| | Ridge has a reasonable variety of trails and a moderate quantity of ski lifts. Getting your skiing muscles stimulated and getting out of the house for a while are wonderful motives to come. There's 100 acres of skiable land, and all of it makes for pleasant skiing. You may have to settle for a hotel a bit far away from the base zone if you want to stay overnight, and if you make reservations before heading out, you're all set. This is a good ski mountain for young and old with lots of intermediate or beginner slopes for | |

beginners. This ski hill has an average amount of snow each season. All 4 different ski lifts at this ski resort are fun to catch a ride with. With a 500 foot vertical drop it's not the tallest hill there is, but Thunder Ridge compensates for it in other ways.
You get scores of skiers traveling up here from Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middletown on snowy weekends. Snowboarding and skiing in this part of New York is scores of fun the whole ski season. The best piece of information on this resort is unsurprisingly the ski trail map of Thunder Ridge on this internet page. The winter in New York is truly a great time of year for snowboarding or skiing.
