This will be our 15th year bringing groups to The Lodge at Mt Snow and this year we have teamed up with other exciting NYC Activities/Meet Up Groups so that we will take over almost the entire hotel!  We have 56 spaces reserved this year!

Each day we will have a full list of activities planned that include Skiing, boarding, group lessons, snow showing, hiking, snow tubing, trips to town, ice skating and more!  You can do as much or as little as you would like.    It is a great way to meet others in the group and enjoy a weekend out of the city.  

The weekend package will feature:

Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend January 18th-21st.

Travel

  • Depart Upper West Side 6pm Friday evening from Happy Hour Bar. We have a 56 passenger luxury bus. (The Party Bus)
  • Arrive Mt Snow between 11pm-12am.
  • We depart back for NYC at 2pm on Monday and arrive UWS around 7:30-8pm.

Who is going?

  • 56 NYSN members and friends
  • 85% of those attending do not know each other. Others may recognize each other from other events.
  • If you come alone we will pair you with someone who should be compatible. (age, ski/non ski, ski ability, late nighter, early riser, etc)
  • Most of the group will be 30’s and 40’s.  There will be a few 20’s and some 50’s.
  • 25% of those attending have never skied before.  Those not skiing either take lessons as a group or do other activities at the mountain. It is $70 less if you are not skiing. ($550)
  • Most of the group are recreational skiers (with a few hard core).  You will find people with your ability easily.
  • This is not a “singles” trip however most of the people will be single.  Couples are welcome and will not feel out of place. Approx 45% male / 55% female.

The Mountain

  • Mt Snow is the closest large ski resort to NYC.  It features dozens of trails, high speed chair lifts, great bars, ski rentals, lessons, food and more.
  • They have one of the most sophisticated snow making systems in the country.
  • The entire mountain will be open by our weekend.

The Hotel

  • We have been going to The Lodge at Mt Snow for 14 years.  You can walk to the mountain from there but there is a free shuttle.
  • We take over most of the hotel with our group.
  • The accommodations are basic. About the same level as a Best Western/Motel 6.  The rooms are clean, the staff is nice and the food is excellent. Realistically, it is what you should expect for the price and proximity to the mountain.  It is not luxurious but you will hardly be in your room and the lounge area is awesome!
  • Hot tub, full gym, restaurant and a lounge area with a big fireplace that is always going, billiards, games, comfy couches, a long bar and amazing views of the mountain.

The Vibe

This is a great trip. Everyone is always friendly.
