Winter
When the snow falls, the Lake George area in the Adirondacks shines. Here, winter sparkles with romance and adventure. The air is fresh. And the snow will take you wherever you want to go. With world-famous skiing for all levels, more than 200 miles of groomed snowmobile trails, peaceful places for cross-country skiing, and plenty of cozy lodging, it’s a season-long celebration of good cheer and the great outdoors.
