Whiteface Mountain - Face Lift

Описание: Face Lift is a detachable four-person chairlift located at Whiteface Mountain. The lift runs from the main base area up to the top of the valley area and to the bottom of the Summit Quad chairlift. The lift is the main lift serving the lower mountain terrain, which consists mostly of beginner and intermediate terrain. The lift also gives skiers and riders access to the mid-mountain Legacy Lodge, the bottom of the Summit Quad, which accesses the upper half of the mountain, and the bottom of the Little Whiteface and Mountain Run chairlifts, the former of which is the only alternative to the Cloudsplitter Gondola to reach the top of Little Whiteface. The lift was manufactured by Doppelmayr CTEC and installed at the ski area in 2002, replacing the old Valley 1988 CTEC fixed-grip triple chairlift.

Whiteface Mountain is a ski area located in Wilmington, New York. The ski area is located in the Adirondacks, in Northern Essex County, about a 15-minute drive northeast of Lake Placid. The resort is primarily known for its advanced terrain, of which plenty can be found off of Little Whiteface with some also running off the summit and Lookout chairs, but also features an extensive beginner area at the Bear Den base area and has plenty of intermediate trails mixed in between. The mountain is also home to The Slides, a group of rarely opened extreme lines, which is known as some of the most challenging terrain in the East and is located just a quick hike up from the top of the Summit Quad chairlift. The mountain is also known for holding many prestigious ski races, most notably during the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics, held in Lake Placid, for which Whiteface hosted all of the alpine skiing events. In the present, the ski area still holds many races and will hold the alpine skiing events for the upcoming 2023 Winter World University Games, which is being held in Lake Placid. The ski area is owned by the Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA), a branch of the New York State government. The ski area is a member of the Ski 3 season pass, which also includes access to the other two ORDA run resorts: Gore and Belleayre.
