New York is a great place to spend winter in because of the many activities both adults and children can enjoy; an example is snowboarding. Not only are there numerous sublime spots to ride downhill on, but Amtrak also allows commuters to bring with them snowboard gear and equipment. Those going snowboarding can then have the option to either drive or board the train to reach ski and snowboard resorts.
