The variety of terrain of these locations, plus the many state and national parks in the area also present just about any type of winter outdoor sport you can imagine. Besides what you would expect as skiing, snow boarding, snow tubing, you'll find miles upon miles of trails for snowmobiles. If that isn't enough, you'll find dogsledding, snowshoeing, ice skating, sleigh riding, tobogganing besides the very popular winter sport of cozying up by a fireplace in your vacation home or rental. With the many fine resorts in the area you also have access to excellent dining and entertainment. Plus on those days when you get that "itch", you can visit the Crossings Premium Outlets in Tannersville near Camelback.
