Whiteface Ranks #1 in Eastern U.S. by SKI Magazine Readers

Lake Placid, NY - The votes are in, they’ve all been counted and SKI Magazine readers named Whiteface, in Wilmington, N.Y., as the number-one ski resort in the eastern United States, second overall in eastern North America. The independent survey of 7,000 readers put the Olympic mountain back on top for the first time since 2003. In 2009-10, the mountain was ranked fifth. Only Mont Tremblant, Que. stood atop Whiteface in the SKI survey.

“Everyone at the mountain strives to give each visitor the best experience possible and this validates all of their hard work,” said New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) president/CEO Ted Blazer. “It’s great to be on top again and now our goal is to stay atop year after year. With Wilmington virtually at the foot of the mountain and Lake Placid a short drive away, we have a perfect combination of meeting everyone’s needs.”
