Titus Mtn. in Malone is the only place closer, Dry Hill in Watertown may also be a little closer than Whiteface. Neither can offer anything even close to what Whiteface has to offer though, I wouldn't waste your time with the other two. Whiteface's park has been improving every year, definitely worth the couple hour drive... If you have a place to stay near Syracuse, we are about 2.5 hours from your campus, as are Lab and Song, and Greek is about half hour further down 81. Come check us out at Togg sometime if you never have though, we have some seriously cheap deals for college students...
