Ski and Snowboard the Adirondacks
Downhill skiing in the Adirondacks is fun for the entire family! Hamilton County is home to Oak Mountain., a fantastic, family-friendly mountain in Speculator, and also makes a great basecamp to visit other nearby mountains, including Gore Mountain.
Oak Mountain
With minimal lift lines, tubing, and the promise of a ton of fun, you can't beat the cost for a day of alpine fun at Oak Mountain. A family of four can ski all day for less than the price of a single lift ticket at other resorts. Oak Mountain also has great snowshoe paths. All of this, and more, at Oak Mountain.
A three-season ski resort in the southern Adirondacks, Oak Mountain is an easy drive from Albany, Utica, or Lake George. Enjoy terrain designed to suit everyone's needs at an affordable rate!

Slopeside dining
A day at Oak is never complete without a hearty meal...or two, depending on how much you ski and ride! Grab a quick snack from the Oak Mountain Cafe concession stand or settle in and warm up at the Acorn Pub & Eatery! You'll be treated to hearty fare so good you may not want to get back out on the slopes! But of course, you will, because winter in Hamilton County is just too good to miss out on.
