New York has lots of snow too, making it home to 2 of the 10 most beautiful snow-covered cities in the country, and one place may surprise you.

The New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) was created in 1980 to oversee the facilities associated with the Olympics. They continue to make sure the facilities are purposefully reimagined to keep the communities and mountains enticing. Now they are involved in making a new ride at Gore mountain, the largest in the state.

This magical treehouse is tucked away in the Adirondack Mountains near Saranac Lake/Lake Placid and is the ideal spot for a glamping getaway for two.

Mascots have been part of sporting events and annual causes for decades, and the search is on for an official mascot for the Lake Placid 2023 World University games.
