Full confession: Even though I’m a fitness-obsessed city dweller, I don’t ski or participate in any winter sports. A recent invitation from the Lake George’s Gore Mountain Ski Resort in the Adirondack Mountains to experience their adult weekend advanced ski clinic got me thinking about a romantic winter retreat as a surprise Valentine’s Day gift for my boyfriend, who is an advanced skier.
With an itinerary that included the Gore Mountain ski clinic, a two-night stay at the historic Sagamore Resort on Green Island, and other activities—including the annual winter carnival and ice festival—we set off in our car for an upstate New York adventure.
