As the winter drags on, it’s important to look on the bright side. The longer it stays cold in Albany, the longer you have to check out one of the many mountains close by for skiing and snowboarding. Since I first moved to the Albany area I have said the best part about the city is its location to other cool stuff. If you live in Albany and love to ski than get excited to know that you are surrounded by close, fun affordable places to check out.
