Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort

Ski where the best meet and compete! Whiteface was the site of the Winter Olympic Games in 1980 and offers terrific conditions for various winter sports.

Skiers and riders have access to more than 90 hectares of skiable terrain with over 90 trails for all skill levels. However, there are an additional 14 hectares of in-bounds, off-piste double black diamond trails called "The Slides". This is expert only terrain and only accessible hiking there from the summit. Yet, if you´re looking for a unique experience it is defintely worth the effort! Moreover, over 20 hectares of tree skiing terrain is available. To cut a long story short: Whiteface is a freeskier's paradise!

Nevertheless, the resort can also be enjoyed by families and beginners. There is a separate beginner area that provides easiest trails only. It is equipped with a triple chair lift starting from the Easy Acres Family Center as well as a magic carpet. However, if you're a little more experienced don't miss out on a ride up to the summit. Stop and take in the panoramic views of the Adirondack Mountains. Furthermore, Whiteface has a fantastic terrain park with features for all skill levels. However, its majority is desgined for intermediate and expert park riders.

Whiteface not only offers perfect conditions for winter sports, it also caters to your every culinary need. At Base Camp Market, you will find gourmet soups, chili, pizza, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, and more. Grab & Go options are also available. J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines Cafe & Wine Bar has a focus on regional ingredients and offers an exquisite selection of wines.

Black Bear Lodge is home to two perfect spots where kids can meet their parents and recharge after a day at the ski school: Black Bear Cafe and Growler's Grill. For lunch in a relaxing atmosphere, check out Boule's Bistro. Mid-Station Lodge offers traditional mountain fare.

Whiteface's latest addition is Taste NY Cafe. Dishes made from regional ingredients are paired with local beer on tap. You even get WiFi and the opportunity to charge your electronics. Got a bit of a sweet tooth? Look up Waffle Cabin and treat yourself to one of their amazing waffle creations.

Activities at Whiteface Mountain are not limited to downhill skiing and snowboarding. In fact, Whiteface offers almost every winter activity you can imagine! If you're looking for that adrenaline rush, try snowtubing, bobsled or skeleton. For something a bit more peaceful, there is cross-country skiing or ice skating. Another interesting activity could be a tour of the Olympic Jumping Complex.
