Whether you enjoy break due to not having school, spending time with family or going on vacation, break is only what you make of it. Consider the

following have a productive, fun winter break you will remember.
A fun place to go during the winter time is New York City. It is recommended to go to Rockafeller Center to explore the tree lighting and to visit the ice skating rink. The rink is open to the public and adult admission ranges from $25-32 depending on the day of the week and skate rentals are an additional $12, if needed.
If the city is too far, local Mountain Creek Resort, the largest ski resort in the area, has skiing, snow tubing and snowboarding fun for everyone during the winter time. These activities can be fun for you, your friends, and the whole family! Another activity at Mountain Creek is the terrain park, which allows skiers and snowboarders to freestyle/ride at all different skill levels. There are ramps, jumps, and the slopes for people to enjoy. The options are endless for you to express yourself. To go skiing or snowboarding at Mountain Creek you will need a season pass. These are rather pricey, coming in at a whopping $449. Although this seems like a lot, you do get a lot of benefits to this pass, such as free entrance to the water park during the summer, free snow tubing, free lessons, and more. If you added up the amount of a daily pass, it is well worth it.
