The Chapter's winter ski program includes nordic cross country and alpine downhill.  Typical trips include:

  • Cross country day trips to touring centers which have groomed trails, set tracks, a warming hut and a trail fee.  Equipment rental and lessons are usually available.  The trails offer skiing for the novice and experienced skier.  Beginners can take a morning lesson offered by the center and then join the AMC group in the afternoon.
  • Cross country day trips to state parks and forests where skiing is off track on woods roads and trails. No trail fees, on site equipment rental or commercial lessons.  Check the trip description or with leader for required skill level.
  • Alpine downhill day trips for skiers and riders.  The group usually divides according to skill level and gathers at lunch or aprés ski.  Destinations are often ski areas which have bus service from Long Island, New York City and North Jersey available.
  • Weekend trips to the Adirondacks, Catskills or Green Mountains.  Check with the leader regarding transportation, lodging and meal arrangements.

          Trip leaders usually do not provide lessons for first time skiers.  Lessons from professional ski schools are available at alpine downhill areas.  For novice cross country skiers the following areas within a 2.5 hour drive of NYC offer equipment rental and lessons.
