You'll encounter scores of skiers from Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middletown here. The wintertime in New York is truly a great time of year for snowboarding or skiing. Thunder Ridge has an okay selection of trails and a somewhat humble quantity of ski lifts. A 500 foot drop is unsurprisingly not that much, | |
