Located right about the middle of New York state (a little bit to the south and east, to be exact) lies the area known as the Catskills, one of the most popular resort destinations for winter travelers and outdoors lovers alike. While the mountains in this area are not, geologically speaking, the most impressive on the East Coast, they do provide ample skiing and snowboarding opportunities, with great mountain towns like Fishkill, Hunter, and Tannersville. The famous music event Woodstock took place in this area, and artists from around the world still flock to this historic spot to reclaim a piece of what was once hippie paradise.
