Whiteface is big. As in BIG. With a vertical drop of 3350' in fact, Whiteface can claim top honors in the East for that category. The resort's vertical is, of course, a major reason why Whiteface is the only resort in the eastern United States to have hosted the Winter Olympics.
Skiers and snowboarders visiting Whiteface benefit from the resort's proximity to Lake Placid as a variety of non-skiing activities are possible. Always wanted to try your hand at the bobsled? This is the place to do it.
