Here in the Ulster County and Catskill region, we got blanketed again with about 5-7 inches of snow that left the mountains and trees glistening as the sun came out this morning. Some people may have an aversion to the snow, but when the white stuff comes, this area has plenty of things to do and enjoy in the outdoors.
The scenery in New Paltz is beautiful as one looks towards the majestic Shawangunk Ridge. The kids enjoy some great sledding hills while the parents admire the view. The Mohonk Mountain House has some great cross country skiing trails. The winter also brings some great winter festivals like one in Highland next weekend which has a traditional chili cookoff, ice sculpting and horse-drawn sleigh rides.
The Catskill Mountains offer many different skiing and snowboarding options including Belleayre Mountain in Ulster County, Hunter Mountain and Windham Mountain in Greene County and Plattekill in Delaware County. Frost Valley was one of my favorite places to go in my youth to take in some fun winter activities. When it's time to relax, there's nothing like the serenity of seeing a pristine Catskill stream babble along through the pure white surroundings.
For your viewing pleasure, I found a marvelous photo of a church in the Roundout district of Kingston, NY. The beauty of the architecture in Kingston is amplified by the snow.
