I found this article somewhat humorous - mostly promoting NY skiing to Brits.

In a streetside dive bar posing as an Eighties underground porn shop, neon lips and slogans – “talk dirty” and “sexy time” – cling on, while beneath them a huddled group is dressed not for clubbing, but for après-ski. The look isn’t sequin outfits, miniskirts or party shirts, but puffer jackets, patchwork knits and bobble hats.
It’s one thing to spend the night before a bluebird powder day getting groggy on glühwein in a chalet. It’s another entirely to revel in the seedy splendour of a Manhattan speakeasy somewhere between Times Square and Broadway.
But this is the temptation of a transatlantic ski trip to New York, as, believe it or not, this is a state with more ski resorts than any other in North America – and investment is ramping up like almost nowhere else.
Even if the Eighties vibes of a basement bar is not your bag for après-ski, it’s hard to deny the absurd appeal of the Empire State in winter.
Why the Empire State is America’s most underappreciated ski destination
Skiing might not be the first priority for most visitors, but this is a state with more ski resorts than any other in North America
