It's winter in New York, as daylight wanes, and winter winds blow, the Empire State comes alive. From the bustling streets and sidewalks of Manhattan and the New York metropolitan area, north to the Adirondacks, to western New York and Buffalo, New York offers plenty of winter activity. Lace up your skates and pay a visit to the iconic Rockefeller Center Ice Rink in New York City, or shop the stores on Madison Avenue. Escape the chill for the evening and take in a Broadway show – don't forget to enjoy the view of the mighty and majestic Statue of Liberty standing guard in Hudson Bay.

Tour Upstate NY and don't forget your skis for the slopes of Gore Mountain, Hickory Ski Center, and West Mountain. Take full advantage of the world-class terrain at Lake Placid and facilities like the Olympic Ski Jump Complex.

Live your dream, Lake Placid also hosts the annual Empire State Winter Games. Nearby, Saranac Lake, home to the Mt. Pisgah Ski Area, is another winter wonderland – so much winter fun in upstate New York.

Central New York, is alive with college basketball – head into Syracuse and Orange country. Drive in from Weedsport or Tully and join the excitement at the Carrier Dome and watch the Syracuse University Orange basketball teams fight through the Big East Conference. And if you're looking for outdoor fun, be sure to visit Oneida Lake, and try your hand at some winter ice fishing.
