FEB 20 - MARCH 1 will see this event at the Olympic Sports Complex in Lake Placid, a short distance from Whiteface. Tickets are cheap, just $9.00! i believe one can stand " trackside " and watch the runs as they whoosh down the hill. also, there's an " All day World Championship Fan Fest " for most days.

i'm going to sacrifice a half ski day to go AND watch some jumping at the nearby Olympic Jumping Complex courtesy of the Empire State Winter Games Feb. 20-22.
these Games include Biathalon, figure skating, ice hockey, speed skating, cross country skiing, ski jumping, and more all in the beautiful Lake Placid area.
Alpine ski events of Slalom and Giant Slalom will be held at Whiteface and they will be rippin!

Some may not know that during non competition days - you can take a guided bobsled run on the lower half of the track!!! you can also ascend the ski jump towers and skate on storied Olympic Ice!!! how cool is that? they usually sell a combo ticket that includes all three.
Lake Placid is very unique.
