Whiteface Lodge's Winter Games Experience Package Puts Guests in Touch With Their Inner Olympian
Located in Lake Placid, host of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Games, the luxury resort challenges guests to tap into the town's Gold Medal spirit with the Winter Games Experience Package. Guests who book the package can test their winter sports skills on the same runs and tracks that have served as the training grounds for Lake Placid's own hometown Olympians, from super-G silver medalist Andrew Wilbrecht to three-time bobsled medalist Steve Holcomb to Erin Hamlin, the first American woman to win an Olympic luge medal.

Whiteface Lodge's concierge team will be on hand as expert “coaches” to help guests go for the gold in events including ice-climbing, bobsledding, tubing, speed skating, and downhill skiing at nearby Whiteface Mountain. Also included are a special Olympic-themed welcome amenity, two 50-minute sports massages and two Olympic Sites Passports offering admission to the Lake Placid Olympic Museum and Ski Jumping Complex, among other popular attractions.

Guests will enjoy luxurious suite accommodations complete with balcony, fireplace and full kitchen; American breakfast daily in KANU; warm, homemade cookies at turndown; nightly s'mores; and access to all resort amenities, including a 56-seat movie theater and two-lane bowling alley. The Winter Games Experience Package is available Dec. 5, 2014 through March 31, 2015. Rates start at $476 per night.

After exhilarating training on the slopes or by the pool, guests can unwind in Kanu Lounge over dinner and signature cocktails, with live music enhancing the casual ambience, or indulge in a fine-dining experience in KANU. For the ultimate sore muscle rejuvenation, the world-class Spa at Whiteface Lodge offers a variety of renewing massages, bath rituals and other signature treatments inspired by the Adirondacks, from an Apple Cider Masque and Massage to the Whiteface Peak Facial. Outdoor amenities include an ice rink, year-round hot tub, and two hand-crafted lean-tos that provide an inviting, sheltered spot for guests to gather over cigars, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres by the fire pit.
