Winter Toolkit

Everything you need to promote winter in the region lives here.

Winter promotional tools

The Adirondacks have a proud winter legacy, from hosting two Winter Olympics and world-class championships to one of the nation’s oldest winter carnivals. Ice fishing derbies, full moon ski parties, snowy festivals, and quiet forest trails make winter here unforgettable.

We invite you, our tourism partners, to help share this story. Whether you offer outdoor adventures, cozy lodging, local flavors, or small-town charm, your role is vital. Together, we can make this season one to remember for our guests and the communities we call home.
