It's cold outside and there's snow on the ground, but there's still plenty to do in Armonk.
There are classes for adults and children in The Towns Parks and Rec Department: music, art, cooking, sports and more. If you've got an idea for a class that doesn't exists, inquiry about starting one.
SPORTS GALORE
Bobcats' winter sports season is in full swing. Girls' Varsity basketball rule with a 10 - 1 record! Go Bobcats! For outdoor paddle tennis available year round with night lighting, check with the Town's Parks and Recreation Department.
There's seasonal courts and junior development tennis programs at Armonk Tennis. Armonk Indoor Sports Center has tennis, soccer, lacrosse and fitness. There is also Armonk Martial Arts with the expertise of Sensei Claudio Baldo. Great Indoor Fun and Sports is a great way for our kids ages 2 -15 to keep active all year round. Byram Hills Youth Lacrosse is beginning for grades 1 - 6.
Byram Hills Ski Team is competing at Thunder Ridge Ski Resort in Patterson, NY, only 35 minutes from Armonk. Did you know that during the 1960's, Armonk had a short lived tiny ski slope called Dynamite Hill? It was located behind Town Hall on a hill that was cut through to lay the new Route 22 dividing the Town Hall and IBM property. A rope tow brought skiers to the top of a small hill. The rope was attached to the turning wheel axle of a truck that was up on blocks. There are many fond memories of that set up. If you hit the slopes yourself, Hickory & Tweed's got the gear to keep you warm and looking good.
Wampus Park on Route 128 is a must for outdoor skating and ice fishing. Just keep an eye out for the "Skating" sign posted by the County in the parking lot. Impromptu hockey games are known to be held there on Sunday mornings.
The nice thing about snow sledding is that it's wherever the hills are. We've talked to some private property owners that have asked us not to name the locations, but just ask around and you'll hear about Armonk's favorite sledding hills. Or consider carving a luge track in your own backyard, that is, if you're located on a hill. But warning: speeds are known to get pretty fast.
Don't forget you can always throw on a good pair of hiking boots, call a friend and walk the track at Town Park or the trails on Oregon Road or Betsy Sluder Preserve. Hiking trails are reviewed in AllAboutArmonk.com's Outdoor Section.
Armonk has a variety of shops for women's clothing including Ruthie Z's, and TruGrace. Looking for Kids' clothing and accessories? Check out Star Spangled Carousel. The Right Thing has gifts and such and consigned goods are available at Treasures. Cocobolo has a vast selection of interior items for the home.

There's free WiFi service while having coffee at Tazza Cafe. There's wine tasting at Moderne Barn Wines & Spirits, wine classes at Wine Geeks, and a great selection at Armonk Wines & Spirts. Curl-up indoors with a good flick from VIP Photo and Video, tour the Armonk Fire Department.
There are plenty of ways to pamper yourself in Armonk. Did you know we have five nail salons in town? There are plenty of hair salons as well, Salon Bellezza is among them and conveniently located in Olive Branch Plaza next to LaGravinese Jewelers.
