If you live in the Fingerlakes region of New York, downhill skiing is greatly dwarfed by skinny skiing — verticality isn’t a strong suit of the area. But tiny Bristol Mountain (1,200 feet of vert, for the record), outside Canandaigua, knows there are skiers and singles and is out to wed the notion of speed dating with the thrill of skiing. And it’s actually pretty dang smart: Sign up and you get three 45-minute ski/snowboarding dates with three different people in the same evening of night skiing. There’s even wine and cheese to sample beforehand, to loosen nerves, and the requirement that you be at least an intermediate shredder. It’s an idea that makes more sense at a small, community mountain like this, too, where (dare we wager?), there’s probably less of a swinger scene than, say, Park City.
