All of New York transforms into a winter wonderland during this time of year, but some destinations become even more charming than ever imaginable once the snow starts falling and everything has frozen over. Taking you up north to the mountains where you’ll have all sorts of opportunities to enjoy every kind of winter activity possible, there’s one attraction that only comes to life during this season of the year and you can’t miss out on it. Unlike anything else you’ll find in the surrounding areas, see why a ride down this toboggan chute will make your winter complete.
As you stroll through the village of Lake Placid during wintertime, you’ll see people out on Mirror Lake going for dog sled rides, walks along the frozen water, and ice skating their way through the mountains.
