Porter Corners / Greenfield, New York
Brookhaven Winter Park
Free community skiing on Brookhaven’s golf-course terrain and wooded trails, with easy fairway loops, more demanding classic-only glades and separate snowshoe routes.
- Arrival
- 333 Alpine Meadows Road, Porter Corners
- Ski access
- Free; volunteer-supported
- Starting choice
- Yellow Fairway Outing routes
- Dogs and bikes
- Not permitted
Start at the clubhouse or pavilion parking on Alpine Meadows Road. Use the winter map’s activity and difficulty legend: a green line here is a more-difficult ski route, while the easiest fairway circuits are yellow.
Trails & terrain
The 2023 map grades the yellow Fairway Outing routes easy for classic and skate skiing. Orange Plumb, Level and Square, the green Hollow route and blue Broadway are more difficult. Pink Upper Glades and red Lower Glades are most difficult and classic only. White and purple dashed lines identify separate snowshoe routes. Red circled numbers are golf tee numbers, not ski difficulty ratings or mileage.

Lessons & getting started
The town Recreation Department describes learn-to-ski programming at Brookhaven. Check its actual current announcement for eligibility, meeting place and equipment arrangements; the winter page’s event link does not establish a daily lesson schedule. For an independent outing, select an easier fairway circuit before considering the wooded glades.

Rentals & equipment
Bring skis, boots and poles or arrange them beforehand; the reviewed town pages do not establish ski rentals included with free access. The winter map lists portable toilets at clubhouse parking. The View is a separately operated restaurant: check its current availability rather than assuming it is a continuously open warming lodge.

Arrival & parking
Use 333 Alpine Meadows Road in Porter Corners, not the town hall or Greenfield Center postal address. The map identifies clubhouse and pavilion lots on this property. Its approach is via Route 9N and Alpine Meadows Road; check posted access and choose the lot serving your intended loop. Ski routes extend across the road, so cross carefully.

Passes & trail etiquette
Public skiing is free and donations support volunteer maintenance. Follow closures and the date of each grooming update; the reviewed page includes an old conditions entry that is not evidence of today’s snow. Dogs and bicycles are prohibited. Both mapped ski areas exclude walking and snowshoeing; use the marked snowshoe routes and preserve tracks and skate lanes.
