The Cozy City In Pennsylvania That Comes Alive Under A Blanket Of Snow

Snow in the forecast usually means rushing to the store to stock up on the essentials – our trusty milk, bread, and toilet paper. Once that initial panic wears off, the excitement tends to set in. Will we really get snow? How much will we get, and how will we spend those precious snowy days? While the lure of the flannel PJs is strong, sometimes we just want to get out there and have some good old-fashioned wintertime fun. On the next snowy day, make a beeline for this cozy winter city in Pennsylvania.

Bundle up for a winter adventure to York, home to more than 44,000 residents. While York might be defined as a big city, it exudes a cozy vibe when the snow begins to fall.

Chances are a day simply won’t be enough to see and do all that York has to offer. Consider booking a Vrbo and making an overnight or a weekend of it.

A trip to York during the winter pretty much guarantees a good time, especially if you’re a fan of fast-paced thrills and chills. Pack all of your winter gear, and begin your adventure at Avalanche X-press.

Spend a few hours gliding down a hill on a snow tube then lace up a pair of skates and glide around the ice skating rink. Don’t worry about getting cold; fire pits will help you stay warm.

If you prefer a quieter day in the snow, journey to one of the nearby state parks – Codorus State Park or Gifford Pinchot State Park – for a day of hiking, cross-country skiing, or ice skating.

Sometimes, though, we just want to escape the bitter cold of a winter day. Keep those thrills coming with a few hours at Altitude Trampoline Park. The family-friendly park offers something – from a foam pit to dodgeball – for everyone.

Save some time during your visit, too, to explore the charming downtown, where you’ll find an eclectic collection of shops and restaurants.
