Thunder Ridge

[SKIQUATTRO]

Anyone been up there recently...looking at taking our 4yr old out for some turns to keep her going and increase her ski mileage on Sunday...its close (1:15hr) they are reporting only 16" YTD snowfall....looks like some rain for Thursday....would Southington be a better choice? (2hrs)

I was up there last wed. and all of the trails were fully covered. would be a nice place for some quick turns.

Look into Campgaw. It is either the same distance or closer and they have great coverage. If you go on a clear day you can see the NYC skyline from the summit.

Mt. Peter in Warwick, NY. About 45 mins from the Tappan Zee...my daughter was digging it on saturday. It's much better than Thunder Ridge.

I was there Saturday night with my 4 year old. Alot was open including the double that goes to the "summit". Since it's only 15 minutes from my house, nowhere else makes sense for night skiing with James.

It's a perfect place for little kids starting to learn...little James loves it.

might go check out Mt Peter....hows the lodge?? We'll be splitting our time skiing with the 4yr old as one of us has to stay back in the lodge and watch the 1.5yr old......we know TR, so thats always an option

It's old school and small. Things move pretty slowly, but, its warm and cozy and my 4 y.o. loved the hot chocolate. Moreover, we went in the afternoon..got a table right away all three times, at about 12:30 to put the boots on, at about 2 for hot chocolate and again at 3:30 to take the boots off. $33 afternoon ticket for an adult and 4 and under ski free.

be about an 1:30hr drive...my 4yr old is better in the morning so, we'll get up early as usual, grab a bagel/coffee and zip over....ski till 2ish with her then she'll be done....
