We can’t help but notice all the snow outside. It’s everywhere! For those who love this time of year, here are some fun family friendly things you can do on those crisp sunny days.
- Make a snowman. They are fun and easy to create. All you need is an old hat and scarf.
- Build an igloo. Pull out your beach bucket and shovel…they’re great for snow too.
- Try downhill skiing. We recommend Greek Peak in Cortland, NY or Swain Resort in Swain, NY.
- Take the family ice-skating. The Nasser Civic Center in Corning offers ice-skating, lessons and hockey, too.
- Enjoy cross-country skiing. There are many trails located throughout the Fingerlakes Region. We recommend the Fingerlakes National Forest with its thirty miles of connecting trails.
- Don’t forget the old favorite – sledding! Tanglewood Nature Center in Elmira does not have an official sledding area, however they do have a good steep hill that locals use for sledding. Be prepared for a long walk back up the hill!! (Please note this hill may not be suitable for small children.)
Get out and enjoy the fresh air. Remember to bundle up. Pack a thermos of hot cocoa for the family and most of all have fun!
