These Snowy Upstate NY Towns Have Alpine Peaks, Après-Ski Vibes, and 2026 Winter Olympics Energy

While the world’s eyes turn toward the Italian Dolomites this winter for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics , New Yorkers have a familiar urge kicking in: head north, chase snow, and pretend we’re on a European mountain holiday . I don’t know about you, but starting February 6th, not only will every hour of Olympic coverage be watched on TV…but snowy getaways will also be planned to cure the fomo. And what’s amazing — you can get surprisingly close to Olympic-level alpine vibes just a few hours from NYC . The 2026 Winter Games are famously spread out across multiple towns—from fashion-forward Milan to quiet biathlon villages tucked into pine forests. And that decentralized setup mirrors something we already do well: bouncing between Upstate New York towns that each bring their own winter personality . Here’s how to experience the Olympics… Upstate-style. Cortina d’Ampezzo → Lake Placid Olympic royalty, but make it Adirondack Cortina is known as the “Queen of the Dolomites,” and for good reason. It’s a town where the jagged, pink-hued limestone peaks of the Tofane mountains act as a backdrop to Corso Italia , a pedestrian-only fashion runway where fur coats and designer ski gear are the

A TV show about the NYPD is now a legal drama starring the city and Dr. Phil’s son

NYPD Dr. Phil's Son ASSOCIATED PRESS A reality TV series meant to spotlight the New York Police Department has spawned a real-life legal drama involving the city and the show’s producer, Jordan McGraw — the son of TV’s “Dr. Phil” McGraw. The city sued the younger McGraw and his production company this week for breach of contract and obtained a court order that blocks them, at least temporarily, from selling or disseminating any footage from the unfinished and unaired show, tentatively titled “Behind the Badge.” "Dr. Phil" McGraw— a clinical psychologist turned TV personality — hosted the series, interviewing officials and showing up to crime scenes. Episodes were slated to air on his MeritTV cable and streaming channels, where he'd previously done segments featuring the police department. On Thursday, McGraw’s lawyers filed to move the case from New York state court to federal court. The city abandoned “Behind the Badge” late last year, hours before then-Mayor Eric Adams ceded City Hall to Zohran Mamdani , after saying that it had expressed concerns to McGraw about the documentary-style show’s quality and content. Episode “rough cuts” provided to the city by McGraw’s company, McGraw Media, were mostly “unedited footage” dumps and included
