Olympic Ski Jumping Complex 5486 Cascade Road, Lake Placid 518-523-8830
At the Olympic Jumping Complex, you’ll see up close the ramp that ski jumpers launch from before flying over the length of a football field. Take the Lake Placid Olympic Jumping Complex elevator to the observation deck of the K-120 meter jump. At the top you will find a panoramic view of the Adirondack High Peaks as you stroll through the ski jumper preparation room. Then get a bird’s eye view of what the jumpers see as they start to accelerate towards the end of the ramp. In the summer, aerialists spring off steep kickers on the Lake Placid freestyle hill in a flurry of twists, turns and tumbles.

t is often said that Lake Placid is where “miracles are made.” It was at the Olympic Center, in 1980, that the U.S. men’s hockey team toppled the Soviet Union on its way to winning the gold medal. This is where 16-year-old figure skater Sonja Henie won an Olympic gold medal in 1932 and charmed the world. Out front is the speed skating oval, where in 1932 local Olympian Jack Shea and teammate Irving Jaffee each won two gold medals, Eric Heiden won five in 1980. The 1980 Rink Herb Brooks Arena hosts national and international figure skating competitions, USA Hockey events, Smuckers’ Stars on Ice, Saturday Night Ice Shows, national and international level skaters and you never know when a legend like Scott Hamilton or Jim Craig might pop in for a day. Make sure to pop into the Olympic Museum for a look at the “miracle” memorabilia and moments that make Lake Placid special.

Start with the Olympic experience
220 Bobsled Run Road, Lake Placid 518-523-4436 Home to the combined bobsled, luge and skeleton track — the only one east of the Rockies—as well as 50 km of groomed cross-country ski trails, snowshoe trails and a biathlon shooting range, the Olympic Sports Complex is a study in extremes. These are thrilling sports to watch, but they’re even more fun to experience in person ≤Climb into a bobsled and hear the roar of runners over ice as you speed down the track. ≤Click into a pair of skis and glide through the serene Adirondack woods at your own pace. ≤Head to the rifle range and sharpen your aim.

Whiteface Mountain Ski Center State Route 86, Wilmington 518-946-2223, www.whiteface.com
hiteface Mountain Ski Center opened in 1958 and has earned its place in the annals of big-mountain skiing. It has the greatest vertical drop in the east, which means if pointing the boards downhill is your thing, you’ll have plenty of opportunities. The mountain regularly stages major national and international skiing events, yet welcome first-time skiers and riders every day. There are 87 trails (a third of which are rated for expert skiers), 11 lifts including a gondola, terrain parks, adrenaline-pumping glades skiing and several Whiteface restaurants.

220 Bobsled Run Lane, Lake Placid 518-523-2811, xctickets@orda.org www.mtvanhoevenberg.com he Olympic Cross Country ski trails of Mount Van Hoevenberg have delighted individuals, couples and families for more than 35 years. Constant trail upgrades and world class grooming on 50 kilometers of rolling Adirondack terrain have been the hallmark of its Olympic legacy. Skiers have always found trails fit for the Olympian inside them, no matter their ability. Step into a pair of skis or snowshoes, breathe in the fresh, crisp air and follow the meticulously groomed trails through the snowy woods. Through the forest, follow the trails that have led athletes, like local Bill Demong (gold and silver medalist in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games) to Olympic glory.

Mount Pisgah Recreation Center 92 Mt. Pisgah Lane, Saranac Lake 518-891-0970, mtpisgahadk.com
ount Pisgah has a vertical rise of 329 feet, which may not seem like much, but with all of its wonderful attributes the atmosphere at the Mount Pisgah Recreation Center makes up for it. A T-bar lift and lift attendant and race timing building were constructed in the fall of 2011 at Mount Pisgah. The new lift was purchased by the village from Doppelmayr CTEC for $375,000. It replaced a T-bar that was more than 70 years old. The project was funded through a state grant and donations raised by the Friends of Mount Pisgah. The mountain has five ski runs, a snowboarding terrain park and 550-foot, two-lane tubing hill. The opportunity for night skiing as well as tubing are features for the entire family. With skiable land of 15 acres, it’s more of a cozy style ski mountain. You could be into big or small mountain skiing or snowboarding, or both, it doesn’t matter, this is a region with loads of ski resorts for that. Mount Pisgah is a small-size ski area having a more petite than average elevation difference when you compare it to other ski mountains in the region. This is a great site for everybody with many green and blue ski trails for beginners. This ski mountain has a low percentage of advanced ski runs and a higher than average of green and blue runs. With 100 percent snowmaking and fully lighted trails, Mount Pisgah is the only center with night skiing within 45 miles of Saranac Lake. Pisgah attracts many skiers from Malone, Lake Placid, Montreal and areas within a six-hour drive on snowy weekends. Ski lessons are available through the Friends of Mount Pisgah/Saranac Lake Ski Club.

T
he Tupper Lake Triad is a newly formed group that consists of people who have climbed the three small mountains that surround Tupper Lake. People who climb all three mountains earn themselves a patch to note the accomplishment. There is also a Winter Triad patch for those who do the trio of family-friendly hikes between December 20 and March 20. For more information on the club and how to register, go to www.tupperlake.com. The following are short descriptions of the three mountain hikes: ≤Mount Arab is a short but very worthwhile hike in the Adirondacks. At 1 mile long and a 760-foot vertical gain, with an easy/moderate trail. The trailhead is located roughly 7 miles west of Tupper Lake on county Road 62, which is a lefthand turn off state Route 3 (toward Piercefield). ≤Goodman Mountain features a 1.6mile hiking trail, a 2,176 foot summit, and is located 0.4 miles south of the state Route 421/Horseshoe Lake junction on state Route 30 in Tupper Lake. ≤Coney Mountain is a 1.1-mile, oneway hike over easy to moderate terrain. The elevation reaches 2,265 feet and takes a half hour to an hour to the summit, depending on skill level. The trailhead is located about 12 miles outside Tupper Lake on state Route 30 (toward Long Lake).

Two Olympic skiers have come from Old Forge, including 1975 world professional alpine ski champion Hank Kashiwa. (Continued from Page 46) Long Lake Causeway across from the Town Beach.

ake Champlain is every water lover’s dream come true. Its spectacular setting in the shadow of the Adirondack peaks, its gentle breezes and its comfortable temperatures make it hard to resist sailing, boating or windsurfing these waters. And then there are the uncrowded beaches, the lakeside restaurants, the quaint communities, the historic lighthouses and the full service marinas hugging its 585 miles of magnificent shoreline. You can even watch for Champy — our legendary cousin of the Loch Ness monster.
Naturally awesome From the shores of Lake Champlain to the peaks of the Adirondacks, our region is simply a paradise for visitors in search of nature at its grandest. And it’s all remarkably accessible. There are hundreds of miles of hiking trails, short and long, easy or advanced. Or you can take advantage of one of the dozens of established parks, attractions or tour routes to sample our splendor. Ausable Chasm and High Falls Gorge take you right up close to the surging waters and ancient rocks of the Adirondacks. Point Au Roche State Park and Ausable Point offer year round trails and a chance to glimpse birds and other wildlife in their natural habitat, as do King’s Bay and Wickham Marsh. The Lake Champlain Birding Trail will help you enjoy one of America’s great birding destinations, as you watch our geese,

ducks, herons, raptors and too many other species to mention!
History for all ages Lake Champlain welcomed Samuel de Champlain in 1609, who claimed our area for France. It was the beginning of more than 200 years of struggle between France, Britain and the new American notion for control of what would become one of the most strategic corridors of commerce and power in North America. The Battle of Plattsburgh Bay, the defining battle of the War of 1812, took place on Sept. 11, 1814, at 8:45 a.m. That day began almost 200 years of peace and friendship with our former enemies. Today, the military, social and commercial history of our nation and our region comes alive through a network of museums, historic sites and commemorations that you and your family will want to include in your visit. Among the many historic stops along the “Lakes to Locks Passage ... the Great Northeast Journey” National Scenic Byway are Fort Ticonderoga, one of American’s greatest landmarks, and the fortifications at Crown Point. And be sure to visit the new Battle of Plattsburgh Association and The Battle of Plattsburgh Interpretive Center, both located on the Old Base Oval in Plattsburgh. The Interpretive Center showcases a diorama of the land and water battles that changed the course of history. Also housed in one of the Old Base buildings is the new

Champlain Valley Transportation Museum, with a collection of artifacts tracing the long history of water and land transportation in the Champlain Valley. Now a bustling economic development zone, the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base lies on hallowed ground, dating back to 1776. The Base was the oldest combat-ready military installation in the country until closing in 1995. It is home to 26 buildings listed on the National Historic Registry. Other aspects of history in our region are preserved and presented at sites like the Kent-Delord House Museum in Plattsburgh, with exhibits interpreting one family’s life in the late-18th through early-20th centuries. The house served as British headquarters during the invasion and occupation of Sept. 6-11, 1812. The Alice T. Miner Colonial Collection & Museum in Chazy has a world-renowned collection that includes a colonial kitchen, samplers, china, furniture and silhouettes from the 18th and 19th centuries. The Clinton County Historical Association and Museum includes such treasures as one of the rifles awarded to the Aiken’s Volunteers, 130 school boys who helped to defend Plattsburgh during the Battle of Plattsburgh. You’ll also want to explore our delightful downtowns and hamlets, including rich architecture, restaurants, and shops of downtown Plattsburgh.

Become a Winter 46er
he Adirondack Forty-Sixers are the climbers who have ascended the High Peaks of the Adirondacks. The first person to climb them all (1925) chose those mountains with an elevation of 4,000 feet or over. There were 46. From this came the name of the present group. While a recent survey indicated a few of these mountains are less than 4,000 feet, the Adirondack FortySixers retain the original listing as compiled by Herb Clark, George Marshall and Robert Marshall. Winter 46er status is given to those who climb all 46 of the High Peaks between December 21 and March 21. The purposes of the organization are the fostering and protection of the natural resources within the Adirondack Forest Preserve of the state of New York and the preservation of the wilderness character of the region. These purposes include, without excluding other appropriate means, educating the public by inspiring interest, encouragement, information and examples to those who engage in wilderness endeavor so they may be prepared to carry on their activities in a manner adapted to secure fullest enjoyment, safety and preservation of the wilderness. In order to become a Forty-Sixer, you must climb the 46 mountains listed on this page. You must report these climbs in writing to the Historian of the Adirondack Forty-Sixers. Please write to: The Office of the Historian, Adirondack Forty-Sixers, P.O. Box 9046, Schenectady, NY 12309-0046. More information on how to become a registered 46ers can be found at www.adk46er.org. The 46ers club will start a personal climbing file as soon as they are contacted. You will be assigned a correspondent to help you and answer your questions. Each hiker is asked to write their correspondent, reporting the mountains, dates climbed and companions. Each hiker should write their own reports. This includes children. Tell the Forty-Sixers what you saw, how you felt and what the climb meant to you. Your experience in the mountains are unique and interesting. Twenty of the 46 mountains are commonly reached on unmarked trails. In the past, each person was to sign the summit log in the canister on the summit, copy down the names of the three persons who signed the log before their party and include them in the report of their climb. This canister system no longer exists and has been replaced by the honor system. When you have ascended 30 of the 46 peaks you will be designated as an Aspiring Forty-Sixer. Your name will be placed on the Forty-Sixer mailing list. When you have reported climbing your 40th mountain you will receive a Questionnaire and a Mountain List. These are to be filled out and returned after climbing your 46th peak. You will then be recorded as an Adirondack Forty-Sixer and advised of membership. The following February you will be assigned a climbing number and at the spring meeting you will be presented a Certificate of Accomplishment. People don’t join the Forty-Sixers, they become one by climbing the 46 High Peaks. Once you report your 46th climb you will become
