Frequently Asked Question
Q: Which Lake Placid hotels offer ski packages near Whiteface Mountain?
A: High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid offers the Adirondack Ski & Ride package for skiers and snowboarders visiting Whiteface Mountain. It includes a guaranteed 2:00 PM checkout on your departure day and a $25 property credit per night at Dancing Bears Restaurant or Trailhead Market. You can book it at the Main Resort, Lake House, or Waterfront Collection.
Q: Does the Adirondack Ski & Ride package include lift tickets?
A: No. Lift tickets for Whiteface Mountain are purchased separately, directly from the mountain, so you pay only for the days you plan to ski. The package covers the hotel side of a ski trip: a 2:00 PM checkout and a $25 nightly property credit.
Q: How far is High Peaks Resort from Whiteface Mountain?
A: Whiteface Mountain is in Wilmington, NY, about 10 miles and roughly a 20-minute drive from High Peaks Resort. The resort is in the village of Lake Placid, within walking distance of Main Street restaurants and shops.
Q: Can I get from Lake Placid to Whiteface Mountain without a car?
A: Yes. The Mountain Valley Shuttle is a free public bus between Lake Placid and Whiteface Mountain that runs during the ski season, typically mid-December through mid-March, and it stops outside High Peaks Resort. Essex County operates the shuttle, not the resort, so check the county's current schedule before you plan your day.
Q: Can I book the ski package for a weekend?
A: Yes, as long as you check out on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. You can arrive any day of the week, so a Friday or Saturday arrival with a Monday departure works: ski the weekend, then use the 2:00 PM checkout for one more morning at Whiteface on Monday. The package is not available for stays that end Thursday through Sunday.
Q: Is there cross-country skiing or snowshoeing near High Peaks Resort?
A: Yes. Every High Peaks Resort stay includes admission to the Whiteface Club & Resort Nordic Center for cross-country skiing. Equipment rentals are not included, and the Nordic Center typically opens in December, so confirm its schedule before you go. Guests can also borrow snowshoes from the resort's Guest Services desk, subject to availability.
Q: When is the ski package available?
A: The Adirondack Ski & Ride package is available from approximately November 27 through April 14, with blackout dates that include the December holidays and Presidents' Week. The 2:00 PM checkout and $25 nightly credit apply no matter how you spend your stay, so your last morning can go to a few runs at Whiteface Mountain, a walk down Main Street, or sleeping in. Whiteface Mountain sets its own operating dates, which depend on weather.
