Whiteface is our family favorite, the mountain has something for everyone regardless of your skill level. We make an annual trip from Florida every year. You simply cannot find a more family friendly ski location. We have come to think of Lake Placid as our second home and we look forward to seeing the same smiling faces on the mountain year after year.
