Took the 15min. gondola ride in July – great views from top but noticeably chillier. Not much to do at top except watch 'mad' mountain bikers heading off down the ski trails! Oh yes, and take photos of breathtaking views. Plan for an hour at the least, but dependent on how long you want to stay on top. See photographer... more

Stunning!

Let me first say that we are not skiers...just sightseers. We visited purely for the view, and both the Cloudsplitter Gondola and the Memorial Highway were worth it! The 360-degree views were incredible. We did the tunnel/elevator to get up and then walked the stairway trail down. Take field glasses to increase visibility. We needed jackets for our early September... more

We stopped off at Whiteface and took the gondola to the summit of Whiteface. Great views and the kids loved the ride in the gondola. Only thing we didn't know was it can be quite buggy up there - yuk! There is a man taking your family photo at the top and you get it printed right there and is... more

I gave this mountain a 5star not for the mountain itself (although it is a very respectable slope), but for it's awesome layout for children. The Kids Kampus is linked to the main mountain but it's far enough away for the kids to have the side of the mountain to themselves... literally. There is a great ramp for the really... more

On a clear day, the views are awesome- my wife and I drove to the end and hiked up- not inclined (pun intended) to hike (it is a little strenuous)- don't worry- take the elevator up from inside the mountain (there were many senior citizens up top)- worth the trip and the price ($10 per car/driver and $5 for each... more

Visited: MARCH 15-19 2008 What a great mountain to ski / snowboard on. There is a family area that had four or five green trails serviced by a triple chair and an 'almost' full service ski lodge at the base. I didn't notice if there was a ski shop in the base lodge. I was able to park my family... more

This is a great mountain with spectacular views, a great nearby town(Lake Placid) and the bragging rights of being a mountain used for an Olympics. However, Whiteface seems geared towards more advanced skiiers and snowboarders. The mountain's skiiable area is concentrated to a relatively narrow strip which make many of the runs pretty steep, narrow and straight. The two summits... more

We love it
