\While the wind may be howling and inviting the cold, as the blizzard settles and the city slows down, winter reveals its own kind of magic through the recreational sports snow and ice bring, from ice skating and skiing to tobogganing and sledding and all at your doorstep. Central Park is the city’s backyard and the Central Park Conservancy its magnifcent stewart. Please treat it well and support it generously!
First stop, Central Park – with so many events to get you into the park for a wonderful experience in nature. Follow our guide to set on on track for skating, cross country skiing, snow shoeing all of the ways to enyoy the park this season. Bird watching? Why not!
From Lasker Rink to the newly opened Davis Center, Ice Skating and instructions are on the calendar as well as Community Skates and special events.
:The good news is that today’s skates are actually comfortable, no more bleeding ankles.
If a more singular or paired activity is more your style, consider snowshoeing or cross country skiing or just walking in nature. Here are some basics to get you started.
Buy 2, one for you, and one for a pal. They are size adjustable.
When the snow if fresh, there is nothing like a cross country ski across the many snow sprinkled surfaces.
The perfect pair for all of the above or just walking your dog.
You cannot go wrong with the Classie Sorel Boot.
SOREL Women’s Joan of Arctic Waterproof Boot $129
I may try these because I walk a lot and they are on a cloud.
Safety is important, hear is a great helmet & goggles.
We remember with great fondness the days spent sledding on Dog Hill with the children when there were actual snow days — no virtual anything – now Hilary and I are taking our grandchildren!
I like the extra padding, but not too steep!
This is the new classic, wonderful quality.
For your speedster!
All aboard!
For the Kloppettes!
