Whiteface
Whiteface Mountain stands alone at the North end of Lake Placid, looking out over lake and village to the Great Range of the Adirondack High Peaks beyond. Whiteface offers the fastest lift on the continent — the Cloudsplitter Gondola — and a 3,430’ vertical drop, the greatest east of the Rockies. This incomparable mountain gives skiers and riders a total of 215 skiable acres, including 30 acres of “out of bounds” skiing in The Slides, 13 acres of tree skiing in The Glades, a 13-acre terrain park, a lift-serviced 425’ half pipe. The 72 trails are currently serviced by 11 lifts that can move 13,279 people per hour. Whiteface offers FIS homologated downhill, super G, giant slalom, slalom, freestyle moguls, and half pipe courses as well as terrain for snowboard cross.
