thinking if all other plans fail for the three day weekend, I was thinking of doing this area. I can get there via train.
Anyone do this area in the winter? any closings?

Almost anything.

Dead ones are no fun at all. Without explosives.

Isn't this the time when someone reposts the clip of the dead whale being blown up?

From a spam email I received
Along the Hudson's eastern bank lies bulky Mount Taurus, the all-but-vertical rock face of Breakneck Ridge, rugged South Beacon Mountain, and North Beacon Mountain, which loom large above the city of Beacon. These are the craggy, weather-beaten relics of once-overwhelming mountains. Spend a day amongst these hills tackling the challenging terrain and enjoying the breathtaking scenery. Although the lower reaches of Breakneck Ridge attract scores of hikers in every season except winter, you'll find the crowds diminish with every contour ring on the way up.

Mapes you know that there's a lot of scrambling on the upper sections of that Breakneck Ridge climb er I mean hike.

With the snow and ice around that should make for an interestng trip. You're comfortable with a certain amount of exposure right?
