The Hudson Valley's sledding hills take on an aura of magic when the first blanket of snow covers the ground. What better way to enjoy it than by getting the kids out of the house for some fresh air and family fun at one of the many sledding hills in the Hudson Valley?

These sledding hills on Long Island mean parents with kids eager to brave the winter elements can catch some wintertime thrills close to home. We've rounded up a host of local sledding hills on Long Island where you can challenge the powder.

Before sending kids careening down these Long Island sledding hills, be sure to check the surroundings for sticks, rocks, and other hazards. We recommend wearing helmets and proper snow gear for your sledding adventure, too.

It's cold, slippery, and—if you're talking about hitting the sledding hills—ridiculously fun. New Jersey is home to plenty of perfect sledding hills for all ages, and we've compiled this list of 26 great sledding spots throughout the state. So, once the flakes have flown, it's time to break out your sleds, bundle up (helmets recommended!), and venture out to one of these great local sledding hills in New Jersey.

Don't forget the safety check! Take a minute to make sure your chosen sledding hill isn't too steep or bumpy for your child and that there's enough of a "landing" spot so your little sledder can safely glide to a halt. Avoid spots near ponds and trees, and be sure the sledding hill doesn't end in a street or parking lot. Skip rocky hills, too.

Westchester is home to a host of outdoor ice skating rinks. And what these ice skating rinks—ranging from outdoor ice skating rinks to ice skating on local ponds—lack in upscale amenities, they make up for in old-school charm.

If you just can't wait for the ice to freeze, consider a visit to one of NYC's outdoor ice skating rinks, and find plenty more seasonal fun in our Winter Fun Guide.
