Do you love to experience snow, but are not a skiing fanatic? Are you traveling with friends who are more into Apres than skiing? Do you have kids who want to go ice-skating? Are you looking for something fun to do in the Catskills other than skiing in winter? Look no further: Bearpen Mountain got you covered!
Run by two former New Yorkers, Bearpen Mountain is a really fun way to spend the day. With hot chocolate on tap, rent and strap on your skates and take a loop or two on their perfect ice rink. Then, rent a snow tube and slide down (again and again) down a pretty fast, but not crazy hill. (A snowmobile service will drive your snowtube back up!).
Feeling even more adventurous? Rent a snow bike (a bike with really fat tires, the kind you can also drive on the beach), and help yourself to losing some calories down snowy mountain trails. Or, rent the snowshoes and experience hiking in a snowy environment. Or, how about curling? Bearpen is a perfect spot to try this Olympic sport – you never know, it may not be too late for you to make your mark at the next Olympics!
Best of all, relax by the fire pit watching your kids snowtube their day away. Bring your own adult beverage, too, to make your experience even more special.
