It has been a goal on mine to visit every ski area in New York State. Some people want to visit every major league baseball or nfl football stadium; mine is ski resorts, but the problem is that I don't have an unlimited budget to go skiing everywhere in New York; so it is important to pick off one or two a year. Here is what I have done by region so far:
Hudson Valley - None, possible 6The Catskills - Belleayre, possible 7
Capital-Saratoga - None, possible 3
The Adirondacks - Whiteface & McCauley, possible 10
Thousand Island - None, possible 1
Central-Leatherstocking - None, possible 2
Finger Lakes, Brantling, Bristol, Hunt Hollow, Song, possible 8
Greater Niagara - None, possible 2
Chautauqua-Allegheny - Holiday Valley & Swain, possible 5
So I have skied a grand total of nine different resorts in four regions, but have 44 to go. The problem is that I don't have any specific plans to knock off two more this year, 
but there is hope as Labrador has discount tickets for Saturday, Feb. 13th. Also, my son send me an email hinting that we should use my buy one lift ticket get one free @ Gore Mountain in March while taking advantage of the "Why not Wednesdays with Coca-Cola" promotion. He has a point; ski all day for $38 @ "the Mountain that loves you back"??? huh. I will keep an open mind on the possibility and will updated our progress. I wonder if I LOVE NY campaign will recognize this as an achievement.

The resorts should com you a lift ticket so you can tick them off the bucket list and maybe you'll write about the experience in your blog.
