With two Winter Olympics under its belt, the Adirondack snow-sports hub of Lake Placid, New York, takes its skiing seriously. The Whiteface Mountain resort lures downhill enthusiasts with the highest vertical drop east of the Rockies—but you can also try your hand at bobsledding or the toboggan slide. At night, party-loving Lake Placid buzzes with restaurants and shops, some overlooking Mirror Lake; ironically, the shores of the actual Lake Placid are located a few miles away.
