It’s easy to hide inside when the weather turns cold and snowy. The desire to hibernate the winter away is strong, but if you stay indoors all season, you just might miss out on the best time of the year. That definitely applies to the Historic Hudson Valley region.
From world-class skiing without the long plane ride to amazing snowboarding adventures that will leave you breathless and happy, the Hudson Valley has it all. There is much more to the Hudson Valley than just leaf peeping and warm weather adventures — winter is the perfect time to explore this slice of outdoors heaven.
Some of the same assets that make the Hudson Valley a great place in the summer also make it the perfect spot for your midwinter getaway. Those amazing hiking trails filled with falling leaves in the autumn are still there — only now they are fully snow-covered and just waiting for you to do some skiing.
The stunning vistas you enjoyed during the warm summer months are also there, but now you can do more than enjoy the view from the top. If you love snowboarding, you can zoom down those hills, and when you do, you’ll enjoy entirely new perspectives, from stunning high-country vistas down to ground level.
The list of the Hudson Valley’s best skiing trails and snowboarding slopes would be long and exhaustive, but you can start with a few of the highlights. Hunter Mountain, Holiday Mountain, and Mount Peter all offer pristine wilderness skiing, including cross-country trails that will leave you breathless. Any one of those slopes would be the perfect start to your winter Hudson Valley adventure, so strap on your boots and get ready to have a great time.
If you prefer your skiing and snowboarding a little more civilized, you can set your sights on areas like Plattekill and the Catamount Ski Area. Each resort has something special to offer, from amazing skiing in the wilderness to thrilling trips down the snowboarding slopes. The more you get to know the Hudson Valley, the more there is to love, and now is the perfect time to start exploring.
No doubt about it, you have plenty of reasons to come out of hibernation and set your sights on the stunning Hudson Valley. From world-class skiing and snowboarding to lounging in comfort by the fire, you will find many ways to occupy your time… and your legs.
If you have been to the Hudson Valley before, you already know what a special place this is. If this is your first foray into the region, you will find plenty of fun and interesting things to see and do, and lots of opportunities to cross-country ski or enjoy the kind of downhill skiing adventure you thought was confined to European or Rocky Mountain venues. And if snowboarding is your thing, you can get your fill — and your thrill — right in the Hudson Valley.
Another great part of vacationing in the winter Hudson Valley is the luxurious accommodations you will find. You will likely be tired at the end of a long day of skiing the slopes and trying out your latest snowboarding moves, and there’s nothing better than relaxing in a luxury resort.
Just think about how wonderful it would be to indulge in a sauna steam or hot tub soak while the snow is falling all around you. Imagine the thrill your taste buds will receive as you dine in a world-class restaurant. Enjoy the softness of the sheets and the soundness of your sleep as you sink into that amazing mattress.
You can enjoy those things and much more when you visit the Hudson Valley and stay at a luxury accommodation. These luxury rentals are perfect for weekend warriors who love to ski, young people addicted to snowboarding, couples longing to reconnect, and anyone seeking to emerge from their self-imposed winter hibernation. This year, why hibernate when you can celebrate? Why hide inside when you could be enjoying the great outdoors? The Hudson Valley is calling, so answer that call today.
