Dynamite Hill

Dynamite Hill is a small operating ski area located in Chestertown, in the foothills of upstate New York. With a vertical drop of 72 feet and a base elevation of 893 feet, it is a modest terrain suitable for beginners and those seeking casual winter recreation rather than challenging alpine skiing.

Access and visitation depend on winter snow conditions typical of the region. As a small, locally-oriented area, it offers straightforward skiing and snowboarding without the infrastructure or crowds of larger resorts. Winter conditions generally run from December through March, though early and late-season snow reliability varies year to year.
