❄️✨ Winter Blues? Not Around Here! ✨❄️
Like most if us, I’ve been home this week with a miserable 🤧cold, draining all of my energy and im finally feeling better! So I’ve been trying to come up with some fun things to do to get out of the house and embrace the rest of Winter ❄️
Who says winter has to be boring in the Capital District up to Lake George?! If you’re feeling a little stir-crazy (like me), this is your reminder that there’s so much fun right in our own backyard…and bonus… 🌷 we’re closer to spring than we think! Stay with me….it will be here before we know it!
Here are a few ways to get out, move your body, and soak up the season:
🛷 Tubing & Skiing – Hit the slopes for some downhill fun or laugh-your-way-down tubing hills (no skills required!). West Mountain can be so much fun and Fire on the Mountain is right around the corner!
❄️ Snowshoeing…Quiet trails, fresh air, and peaceful winter views = instant mood boost.
⛸️ Ice Skating – Indoor or outdoor rinks, grab a friend or bring the kids and make a memory. The State Park in Saratoga Springs has both! Say hi to my mom, Karen DeCoteau while you’re there! She’ll get the snow shoes for you!
🧊 Ice Bars & Winter Festivals – Yes, they exist… and yes, they are as fun as they sound. Cozy drinks, fire pits, and winter vibes done right. The Sagamore in Bolton Landing has one of the best!
Winter doesn’t have to be something we “get through.” It can be something we enjoy, especially when we support local spots, explore nearby towns, and do it together as a community 🤍
Before you know it, the snow will melt, the days will get longer, and we’ll be welcoming spring. Until then… let’s make the most of it!
