Whiteface Mountain Resort
About the Resort
With the biggest vertical drop in the East it is easy to miss the gentler side of Whiteface Mountain. Easy Acres is a separate mountain, lodge, and ski school for families, kids and beginning skiers and riders. The Gondola transports guests to the summit of Little Whiteface and serves over 2400 vertical feet alone. The glades and the slides provide a wonderful experience for experts. And the towns of Lake Placid and Wilmington will charm everyone in your family. The total winter experience comes together at Whiteface.
Host of the 1980 Olympic Ski events.
