Suicide Six Ski Areaall winter season long! 
Get out on the slopes at the iconic Suicide Six Ski Area, close to Woodstock and established on the opposite side of the hill from the site of the very first ski tow in the U.S.  A new quad lift shortens the ride to the top of the mountain, from which skiers and snowboarders can choose the beginner trail “Easy Mile” or test their skills on the more difficult “Face.” The modern base lodge with its full restaurant provides a warm, family-friendly atmosphere to snuggle up after a day on the slopes. Ski and board rentals are available on site.
