There may not be any mountains on Long Island, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get out and hit the trails. There are a lot of ski resorts within just a few hours drive from Long Island. Many of these mountains are great for both beginners and more experienced skiers and snowboarders.
Although you may not be getting the biggest or best mountains in the North East, you definitely can’t beat the convenience of being able to hop in the car for just a few hours to take a day trip or weekend excursion.
