Book Early & Make a Plan
I get the thrill of taking off on a whirlwind adventure, but I think we've all had enough whirling for now. This year, many of the recreation areas, including Whiteface Mountain, require reservations and/or have limited capacity which is why our top piece of advice is to have a plan. It may not seem as romantic as a spur of the moment getaway but just think of the bonus points you'd get when your partner knows that you spent time going over every detail to make sure everything went perfectly!
Midweek Flexibility Means Big Opportunities
Midweek has always been quieter than weekends and this year that works out especially in your favor. You're less likely to be faced with capacity restrictions on your favorite activities and social distancing becomes much easier and more stress-free.
Utilize Local Resources
We, Adirondack locals, want all of our guests to experience the best of what we have to offer and we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all recipe for Adirondack adventure. Maybe you want to know some off the beaten track snowshoe trails, or maybe you want to go on an antiquing adventure. Our region has some great resources that will make planning your winter adventure super easy!
