Ski slope thrills & après chills at Whiteface Mountain and beyond!

Boasting the highest vertical drop east of the Rockies, Whiteface Mountain in Wilmington has everything you need for an epic day on the slopes. Whether you’re shredding the black diamonds, catching air in the terrain park, or teaching your kids to make turns, there are miles of trail for everyone to enjoy. Buy your lift tickets in advance and you can even save up to 45%! When you’re done, après your way with craft cocktails in cozy lounges or local brews at a laid-back bar in towns like Au Sable Forks. With conveniently located lodgings that make catching first chair easy, you’ll wonder why you ever went west for snow.

Beyond Whiteface Mountain awaits a winter wonderland only the Adirondacks can provide. The adventurous will find ample opportunities for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing on quiet winter trails. Kids will alight with wonder when you take them to Santa’s Workshop at the North Pole. And for those who prefer to spend winter keeping warm, discover artist’s studios in Jay and Upper Jay, fireside dining, and charming cabins you might just want to hibernate in.
