New York Times Recognizes Whiteface Mountain!

The New York Times, serving a huge demographic in the metro area as well as around the northeast to millions of people, has written a great guide to Whiteface Mountain, our great skiing location next to Lake Placid. Here's a snippet:

"Ten miles from Whiteface lies the village of Lake Placid, which the ski industry magazines often rate as the best ski town in the East. It’s an authentic village with plenty of restaurants, bistros, bars and bookshops. There are mom-and-pop stores, outlets stores, hotels, motels and unusual boutiques. But Lake Placid is best known as host to two Winter Olympics, in 1932 and 1980, and there is an athletic energy pumping through the former Olympic village that invites participation. Steps from Main Street, there is a former ski jump rebuilt into a toboggan slide that flings people several hundred yards across frozen Mirror Lake. There are bobsled and luge runs open to the public, as is the outdoor Olympic speed-skating oval. There are dog-sledding rides on the lake, miles of cross-country trails and two huge ski jumps towering over the village outskirts. Play your cards right and you might even end up in an impromptu game of pond hockey not far from the famed “Miracle on Ice” Olympic hockey rink. There is something about Lake Placid that brings out the snowball-fighting kid in each of us."
