| Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort
Skiing New York Has Never Been Better!
The Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort is world-renowned for its snowfall, vertical drop, and scenery.
If you crave the rush of speed, snow and cold, then Whiteface Mountain is where you need to be.
Whiteface, located 9 miles northeast of Lake Placid village, was recently ranked second in the eastern United States and third in eastern North America by SKI Magazine readers! Of course, Whiteface Mountain is well-known as the site
of the 1980 Winter Olympic downhill ski events. So that makes it a total winter destination for outdoor lovers everywhere. But don't just take my word for it! Check out what real people have said about their experiences at Whiteface!
The Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort is known for plenty more than just the Olympics. It's also been the site of the Winter Goodwill Games. And it continually hosts World Cup Competitions, along with constant Olympic-level training for all of the winter olympic sports at the Olympic Village Sports Complex.
It's not only the actual skiing that Whiteface is appreciated for - it ranked tops in off-hill activities in North America, too. Shows, concerts, dining, apres ski (all in nearby Lake Placid) and family programs all add up to a fantastic overall skiing experience that make it a total ski destination.
With more than 1,850 rooms available within a 20 mile radius, Lake Placid and Wilmington know how to treat vacationers right! The Main Street, lined with quaint, one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants, will entice you to stroll and savor the small-town resort atmosphere. What could be better after an exciting day on the mountain?
The Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) is charged with maintaining and optimizing all of the Olympic venues, including Whiteface. Referring to the huge variety of winter sports and activities in the Whiteface/Lake Placid area, Ted Blazer, President and CEO of ORDA said, "These experiences continue to differentiate Whiteface/Lake Placid from other resorts. The venues are offered not only to the world-class athlete, but to the recreational visitor as well."
The Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort continues to improve - don't think it's resting on its laurels! More upgrades are coming, including improved snow-making capacity and grooming. Its very popular Kids Kampus has expanded its offerings for children and families, adding a new 350-car parking lot. This coming January 2008, Whiteface will celebrate its 50th anniversary, marking the momentous occasion with weekend events right into March!
So if you're looking for a world-class ski destination with family-friendly events and attractions, the Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort is the perfect fit!
