Hit The Slopes: Best Ski Spots Near New York

There’s nothing quite like the crisp mountain air, the thrill of the descent, and the panoramic winter views that greet you at the summit of a ski resort. If you’re in or around New York City, you’re in luck—some of the finest East Coast ski destinations lie just a short drive away. Whether you’re a seasoned skier hunting for challenging runs or a beginner eager for a scenic spot to learn, you’ll find plenty of options nearby.

Equally important is how you get to the destination. We come to the rescue with our professional group transportation. Count on our service to deliver a memorable experience, as our top priorities are your convenience, comfort, and safety. Below are some of the top slopes near New York, along with how our prompt and flexible transportation makes every ski trip a breeze.

Hunter Mountain

A little over two hours from Manhattan, Hunter Mountain in the Catskills is a top pick for skiers of all abilities. Boasting more than 50 trails, terrain parks, and a reputable ski and snowboard school, Hunter accommodates everyone from beginners to veterans looking for an adrenaline rush. High-speed chairlifts help you make the most of your day, and there’s no shortage of on-site dining or après-ski fun.

Opting for our transportation to reach Hunter Mountain ensures you can relax while leaving winter driving and parking concerns to our professional chauffeurs. Our spacious, well-maintained vehicles offer a comfortable ride, so you’ll arrive rested and ready to tackle the mountain.

Windham Mountain

A short distance north of Hunter, Windham Mountain is renowned for its family-friendly environment. Beginners appreciate the dedicated learning area, while more seasoned skiers enjoy well-groomed intermediate and advanced trails. Beyond skiing, visitors can try snow tubing, ice skating, or simply soak up the welcoming, small-town atmosphere.

At Majestic Transportation, we value your time and adjust to your schedule. Early-morning departures or late-night returns are never an issue. We will get you there safely, whether you’re aiming to beat the weekend rush or stay late for some nighttime fun.

Belleayre Mountain

Located in the Catskills’ Highmount area, Belleayre Mountain tends to draw fewer crowds than its neighbors, making it a preferred spot for those who enjoy a more laid-back experience. Its balanced mix of beginner, intermediate, and advanced terrain allows skiers of every level to find their comfort zone, and exceptional grooming ensures reliable conditions all season.

Choosing us means your trip starts the moment you’re picked up. Our courteous chauffeurs handle any last-minute requests and accommodate itinerary changes when needed. With ample space for your gear and no worries about navigating snowy roads, you can focus on the thrill of carving fresh tracks.

Gore Mountain

Head north into the Adirondacks to experience Gore Mountain, which offers more than 100 trails and a summit above 3,500 feet. Adventurous skiers can tackle challenging glades and black-diamond runs, while newcomers find gentler slopes to build confidence. Off the main runs, you’ll discover snowshoeing paths and cross-country skiing opportunities.

Although Gore Mountain is about four hours from New York City, our comfortable vehicles and attentive service make the ride enjoyable. Whether you’re embarking on a corporate outing, reuniting with friends, or taking a family trip, we handle every detail to streamline your journey.

Whiteface Mountain

Farther north, near Lake Placid, Whiteface Mountain claims one of the highest vertical drops east of the Rockies. Advanced skiers revel in its steep descents, yet there are still plenty of beginner and intermediate trails. The region’s Olympic heritage adds a dash of history—you can even try out bobsledding or skating at the famous Olympic Oval.

With a longer drive—around four to five hours—having one of our experienced chauffeurs at the wheel is a game-changer. Plus, if you need advice on where to dine or what to see in Lake Placid, our knowledgeable chauffeurs are happy to help.
