It’s been another terrific winter of accolades for the Whiteface Lake Placid region. In October, SKI Magazine readers tabbed Whiteface Lake Placid as the number-one destination for Off-Hill activities.  The resort has carried that honor for 20 consecutive years.  The magazine’s readers also gave Whiteface, Wilmington and Lake Placid high marks for its scenery (#3), resort dining (#3), après ski (#3), challenging terrain (#7) and mountain character (#8).

In February, MSN.Com listed the Olympic mountain as one of the 10 hippest ski areas.
