I think there would be some good skiing in the southern NY area if we would get some snow. The only thing I care about when I am near Poughkeepsie is getting to the Cracker Barrel in Fishkill. :-)

Not any more. There were plenty in the 1960's - West Point included. All tiny hills. Then business and mountains started closing from the south traveling north.

Best dependable snow would be Hunter Mountain. All man made snow, all packed powder, empty during the week, 25,000 people on the weekend.

For big snow have to go further up north along the vermont border.

There still are!
Catamount
and West point.

There also used to be a place near pine bush called "haystack" (?) or something. Not sure if still open. Last time there about 15 years ago.

Hunter is too "citified"! You're liable to get run over by hotdoggers.

or Bellayre for that warm cozy feeling, although I hear they are starting to build a mega resort there which will kill its character.

Joey.
