New York hosts skiing extravaganza

Through Jan. 9, the Ski Areas of New York (SANY) are teaming up to offer 10,000 lift tickets for just $10 each, to be used for a one-day skiing extravaganza on Jan. 10, providing an opportunity to hit the slopes in the state with more ski areas than anywhere else in the US. Ski resorts throughout the state’s 11 vacation regions are participating, including Peek n’ Peak, Holiday Valley, Holimont, Kissing Bridge, Bristol, Greek Peak, Four Seasons, Dry Hill, Titus, Whiteface, Gore, Catamount, Hunter, Windham, Oak, Tuxedo Ridge, Woods Valley and Belleayre, West Mountain, Hickory Hill, Mt. Peter and Swain with more expected to join in as the promotion draws nearer. “From family friendly resorts to Olympic-level slopes, New York offers plenty of choices for skiers of all levels of ability. And, as January 10 is on a Thursday, it’s a wonderful excuse to turn your trip upstate into a long weekend,”tourism authorities say. (http://www.iskiny.com)
