Cuomo added skiing in New York comes with benefits, especially during the pandemic.
"If you ski in New York, not only do you have the best skiing in the United States, but you don't have to quarantine when you get back," he said. "Go ski in one of these others states, then you have to quarantine for 14 days. Ski for 2, quarantine for 14."
