Rocking Horse Ranch

Rocking Horse Ranch is a small ski area near Plattekill in New York, operating at 632 feet of elevation with 69 feet of vertical drop. It offers a modest terrain suitable for beginner and intermediate skiers and snowboarders looking for a local option with minimal travel from the Hudson Valley region. The setting is low-elevation terrain typical of the lower New York highlands, making snow conditions variable and season-dependent. Access is straightforward from regional roads, and the compact size means short lift lines and a casual, neighborhood feel rather than a destination resort experience.
