Buffalo New York is well publicized for its treacherous winters. But if you are a snow lover, there are many activities for you to enjoy. For starters, nothing beats attending a Buffalo Bills game in late December or January. Feel the excitement of more than seventy thousand fans hollering for their team while the snow is flying. Start your game day experience by tailgating in the parking lot before the game. Chow down on some spicy Buffalo wings. Sample some great Canadian beer or taste some local ale from a microbrewery.
Snowmobiling is a very popular winter activity in Buffalo. There are plenty of snowmobile shops to satisfy the demands of this fun loving industry. Some people like to load up their sleds on trailers and tow them into the really rural areas in New York State for some serious trail riding. They take week long vacations just to do some riding. Other people like to use the snowmobile as a means to go bar hopping. Heck, even the cops have snow machines now. They chase these bar hoppers around dishing out tickets for driving while intoxicated.
Skiing is also a pretty popular way to make the best of the Buffalo cold weather. There are a number of good ski slopes in the greater Western New York area. Experienced skiers will tell you that the slopes around Buffalo are rather small and not challenging enough for them. However, the people who live locally sure seem to like them. I guess you could consider it a great place to learn how to ski without crashing at a hundred miles an hour. Even if you really don’t want to ski, there is still the warm ski lodge full of single people with a few dollars to spend.
Snowboarding has become a very popular national sport in the USA. It has also become popular around Buffalo. In the early 1990s you would only have seen a few snowboarders here and there on the ski slopes. Now they are much more common. Just like skiing, the rolling hills south and east of Buffalo provide adequate quality slopes for beginning snowboarders to learn on.
The area is known for its whitetail deer population. Seasonal deer hunting in the rural areas surrounding Buffalo usually brings in some monster bucks. Actually this is a late fall sport more so than winter. The season ends in most areas before winter actually starts. The amount of deer has really grown over recent years to provide a hunting environment that is easier than ever. This activity is so popular that many area high schools are missing a huge percentage of their students during the first week of shotgun season.
For children, the winters in Buffalo are a blast. There are countless ways for kids to have fun outside in the cold. Some kids will do the traditional backyard sledding. Others will find a giant snow drift to carve a tunnel into. There is the ever popular snowball fight with other neighborhood kids. For active kids there is a athletic sport called pond hockey. Actually it is an old kids playtime activity turned into a sport. There are lots of really great parks that allow families to go tobogganing for free. You really don’t have to think very hard to come up with a great idea for enjoying the winter when you are in Buffalo.
