Dedicated to Promoting Cross Country Skiing in New York City
Ski NYC is a new nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote cross country skiing in New York City. We are working on a proposal to create a cross country ski center in Van Cortlandt Park.
We seek to provide 10+ kilometers of cross country ski trails with at least one consistent 2.5 kilometer trail for New Yorkers of all ages to enjoy. Ski NYC will supplement natural snow with snowmaking, to ensure adequate snow for the full-time trail.
Unfortunately, there are currently no groomed trails in New York City. At times of sufficient natural snow, the Scandanavian Ski Shop offers cross country ski rentals for use in Central Park. The nearest center with groomed trails is Fahnestock Winter Park in Putnam County where rentals can also be found.
