Lake Placid, a village located in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains, is home to both history and adventure for every season. Not only is Lake Placid the only city to have hosted the Winter Olympics twice, once in 1932 and again in 1980, Lake Placid is a destination for everything you crave in the winter: skiing, snowshoeing, skating, and of course warming up by the fire with a hot toddy. This is the type of town which will make you forget your winter blues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Skiing and Snowshoeing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Skiing

Lake Placid is just down the road from the venerable Whiteface Mountain, known for having the most vertical of any ski resort in the Northeast. Though Whiteface has the reputation for being an expert mountain, they have plenty of green and blue groomed trails for beginners as well. Plus, there\u2019s a gondola that goes to the second-highest peak on the mountain for days when the temperatures are too low for a chairlift. <\/span><\/p>\n
