Greene
6.2
High score (8-10)
Hunter Mountain draws a heavy NYC crowd from October through April — the ski lodge bars and the restaurants around Windham and Tannersville serve a weekend population of Brooklyn and Manhattan people who show up with Brooklyn bar appetites and Manhattan disposable income. An outsider skiing a weekend here has a social environment that's far more accessible and energetic than the rural Greene County geography would suggest. Catskill, the county seat on the Hudson, has a growing arts and restaurant scene of its own fed by NYC transplants.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
The ski season from December through March turns the mountaintop communities around Hunter and Windham into active social environments with a predominantly NYC-weekend demographic. The summer brings a different but equally active crowd. Catskill the city has developed real restaurant and arts infrastructure. An outsider visiting in ski season or during summer has solid access to a social scene.
Lower score (below 6)
The shoulder seasons — mud season in April and the November lull before ski season — reduce Greene County to its permanent population of service workers and longtime residents. The native working-class community and the transplant/weekender community don't particularly mix. An outsider arriving at the wrong time of year finds very little social activity in the mountaintop areas.
