We are from Long Island, looking for a couple of nights a few hours away, in a nice town with things to do. We are 2 adults, early 40's like like to explore, some winter sports, shop and eat good food. Any suggestions?

Lake Placid might be to your liking. IT's a town into winter activities bit time (Whiteface Mountain). It's small enough to walk around, lots of nice places to stay. Give it a shot! They hosted the Olympics back around 1980.

Perhaps you could go to Ithaca and check out Greek Peak, which is close by in Cortland County.

Canandaigua, which has Bristol Mountain nearby, could work too.

This should help too: Welcome to I SKI NY - Mountain Profile Pages

Really far from LI but Ellicottville (south of Buffalo) is quite a scenic & vibrant village, loaded with shops, bars, restaurants, all driven by its ski resorts. But given a choice, I'd go with Lake Placid.

Old Forge is fun, but is a lot more rustic, IMO, and they don't have the facilities Lake Placid does. It's worth a look, tho.

...and Old Forge would be a bit easier on the pocketbook!

How about New Paltz? Closer than the other options ~ less money on gas!
