Boonville boasts a great variety of XC ski opportunities. It’s located on the
eastern edge of the large Tug Hill Plateau where all the moist air from Lake
Ontario cools and dumps as lake effect snow. Locally, there are 4 free, groomed BREIA trail systems. There are several nearby State Parks offering semi-groomed and back country experiences. Half an hour away there are 2 commercial xc ski venues in Osceola (where rentals and lessons are available).
