Winter Ski & Snowboard Guide Helps to Plan Quicker Getaways to the Northeast Slopes.

EscapeMaker.com launches their 2004-2005 Winter Ski & Snowboard Guide designed for NYC metro residents to plan local winter getaways.

(PRWEB) November 15, 2004 -- Planning a weekend escape to the snow belt from city sidewalks or suburbs is now an easy downhill run for Big Apple skiers and snowboarders.

EscapeMaker.com, the online resource for daytrips and weekend getaways from metro New York, has launched their 2004-2005 Winter Ski & Snowboard Guide that gives city and suburban dwellers their essential schlepping, schussing and sleeping options for snow destinations throughout the Northeast, with or without a car.

"Our Winter Ski & Snowboard Guide is designed specifically as a resource for busy New Yorkers who want to hit the slopes in a hurry with a lot less hassle," says EscapeMaker.com President Caylin Sanders. "Here they can find information for the entire northeast snow belt from one central site."

Winter bargain hunters can take advantage of getaway packages combining lodging, lift tickets and continental breakfasts, and enter to win a free Ski & Stay Weekend.

Snowbirds without wheels of their own can connect with bus trips and tours bound for snow country. Downhill and cross-country skiers can search the Ski Locations section and snowboarders can hone in on Snowboarding Locations by state and town, and then save their favorites to a personal "My Itinerary" page to print out or save for future reference.

How are conditions? The guide not only has links to local ski reports and resources, but features live web cams showing current weather. Après-skiers and non-skiers alike can get a quick overview of local shopping, dining, lodging and year-round activities in profiled destinations personally visited by EscapeMaker.coms own intrepid reporters.
