Hey guys! So I just moved out to Manhattan for college and have no mode of transportation for this up-coming ski season. I was curious if anybody could point me towards any good urban spots in the city or if there's any way to potentially get to ski areas other than by car (I feel pretty doubtful on that one haha).

Also I've met almost zero skiers out here, so if anybody wants to get in contact and maybe build some urban this season i'd be all about that, just shoot me a PM!

There are all kinds of day bus trips you can take. There is a bus that runs out of Port Authority directly to Mountain Creek. Go to Paragon Sports on 18th and Broadway, EMS in Soho or REI (also in Soho) on Houston and ask about bus trips. They all run trips to Vermont and most of the mountains in lower NY (Wyndham etc....)
There is a group on meetup.com for NYC skiers. Its mostly older people but they are always arranging day trips.
There are plenty of skiers here in NYC. You just have to find them! Im to old to go hit urban otherwise Id join you. lol

Which college are you attending? As has been said, there are frequent (daily, I believe) bus trips from NYC to mountains in the Catskills such as Hunter, Windham, and Belleayre. I would imagine your college has a ski club. If so, they surely have it all figured out.

Awesome man! Thanks for the advice.

And I go to the new school, I don't think that we have one unfortunately, but it certainly couldn't hurt to double check.

Mountain Creek is probably the closest by bus and great for night skiing or early/late on the weekends. The whole south peak is park and the other 3 peaks are fun to go fast on.
