Recent Reviews

Whiteface is more geared towards advanced and expert skiers. The terrain is steep and can be icy at times. If you like fast descents, long runs, and breathtaking, unobtrusive views of the Adirondacks and nearby Greens (and dont mind the frigid temps) this is the mountain for you.

Really fun resort for all abilities. Not very much powder or tree skiing if you're into that. Great groomers and changeling terrain.
