I do not recommend skiing/snowboarding here. It's always icy and my older brother unfortunately got into an accident here, and did not recover from his fatal and serious injuries. I wish I could do something to sue this mountain that took my older brothers life and has my entire family in agony. It SHOULD BE their responsibility making their conditions BETTER by doing better maintenance to make it safer for skiers/riders to have good experience on, but I'm blaming this mountain for taking my older brothers life here.

I've been here a few times starting in the late 90s. The mountain is more on the challenging side. The top of the mt doesn't really have novice trails. So this may not necessarily be the greatest mountain to learn. Recently we have only come here in March during midweek. And during midweek it's great. No lines on the gondola. Easy in and out. Conditions this year for all east coast mountains have been challenging. Before we were to arrive, it said icy to loose granular. But lucky for us, it snowed overnight and we had packed powder conditions! Prices March midweek can't be beat. Overall we had a great time and will be back next year. Cloudspin Bar and Grill is also a great spot to get a drink and lunch. I actually think it makes more sense to eat at this sit down restaurant than at the cafeteria. Overall it's a nice spot to spend the day.

Tale of two visits on the first day we took the Gondola ride up to Mini Whiteface . The ride was enjoyable even with all the clouds and fog that was floating around as it rained earlier in the day. The gondola car does get warm, so I would recommend opening the window vents (if not already opened) to keep yourself comfortable. At the top of Mini Whiteface , we were able to enjoy views of the mountains as the clouds passed us by. On the second day, we drove up the Memorial Highway to attempt going to the very top of Whiteface. The car ride will take some time, about 15 20 minutes as you wind your way up the road. The views are great as you travel up the mountain. Once we reached the end of the road, we took the elevator to the observation deck. We enjoyed spectacular views of the surrounding Adirondacks. We need up walking down the path and with my vertigo I spent more time looking down to keep myself steady. I did stop and look up a few times and the views were great. Definitely recommend trying to visit both spots. Word of warning the Gondola was $25/per person. The car ride up the mountain is a few for your car and then a per additional passenger charge.

As a teenager this is where I learned how to ski and ever since then, nothing else has quite matched my experience with downhill. While I may not ski as much as I used to, I have fond memories and try to make an effort to go for a run when I'm in the area. There are trails for all skill levels and it is very accessible for skiers of all ages. It's not far from Lake Placid where you can get food, catch a movie, or what have you.

We visited Whiteface Mountain in June with our granddaughter. The lodge at top of mountain is very well maintained and all staff are very friendly . However, we have to give a very special recognition to the retail manager, Sarah Braid. We contacted Sarah after our visit as my granddaughter remembered a doll she wanted in the gift shop and very much wanted it for her birthday. Sarah returned my call, sent me pictures and arranged for me to purchase the doll and have it mailed to me. That is incredible customer service. Thank you, Sarah. Our family will always have positive memories of Whiteface-thanks to your incredible customer service!
