Last week I wrote about ways that you can enjoy a winter getaway in Lake Placid, New York. With over a dozen different winter activities, you have your pick of how you can play in the snow.
It was funny to read all the comments from people who don’t like the snow. I feel you on that.
I grew up around snow so it doesn’t bother me. Now, do I want to be driving to work in it or trapped in my house because of it? No. However, I don’t mind watching it come down while tucked under a warm blanket with a cup of hot chocolate, marshmallows and whip cream.
I also don’t mind traveling TO snow for a three-day winter getaway. I love to play in the snow. We do it every year. The key is, I get away from it in 72 hours and leave it behind.
That’s how I appreciate snow the best.
This week I interview a local expert to find out what you need to know about vacation planning for Lake Placid. Check out the interview above for more details about the area and its offerings. I added some visuals, courtesy of the Lake Placid Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The contest for the Lake Placid winter getaway is anew with a second prize. You can enter the giveaway directly for your chance at a trip for two and a stay at the Lake House, the newest lodging property in town.
If you won the winter getaway to Lake Placid, how would you play in the snow? Who would you take with you?
Now that that’s settled, enter the giveaway –> http://bit.ly/15Ik819

We don’t get more than an inch or two of snow , if we’re lucky, in Atlanta. I’d love to have a chance really play in the snow!
