Let the Games begin.

We’re rooting fervently for our talented Canadian athletes to make it to

the podium at the Sochi Olympics, Feb. 7-23, and our hopes and

dreams are especially with such Quebecers as Alpine skiers Erik Guay

and Alexandre Bilodeau, speedskater Charles Hamelin and the mogul-

bashing sisters Maxime, Chloé and Justine Dufour-Lapointe.

But, travel-wise, no town in the northeast embodies the spirit of the

Winter Olympics like Lake Placid, N.Y., at the heart of the Adirondack

Mountains and the only venue in North America to have held two snow

Games, in 1932 and 1980. Lake Placid radiates Olympic enthusiasm

year-round, but the excitement is at its peak this month with Olympic

flags flying on Main St. and local businesses holding promotions and

contests.

Whiteface Lodge was conceived and built by Olympic luger Joe Barile,

and today one of its employees, Chris Mazdzer, is in Sochi, set to

compete in the same sport.

Whiteface Lodge is a handsome, luxurious all-suite resort overlooking

downtown Lake Placid. It’s not even 10 years old, but it has a classic,

sturdy design of timber and fieldstone that recalls the Adirondack Great

Camps.

The hotel looks rustic but it’s thoroughly modern and fully loaded for

vacation life. It has 94 spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom suites

with designer kitchens, washer-dryers, flat-screen TVs in all the rooms,

custom furniture and cabinetry, bathrooms with jet tubs, double vanities

and heated floors, and private balconies with mountain views.

Whiteface Lodge is a top-drawer property, with spa life and dining to

match. The signature treatment at The Spa at Whiteface Lodge is the

Purifying Lodge Retreat featuring a body wrap and hot stone massage.

KANU — it uses all-caps spelling for emphasis — is a stunning dining

room with a magnificent fireplace and hand-hewn décor. The hearty

American gastronomy includes pumpkin bisque with maple syrup and

chanterelles and braised venison shank with red currant and white bean

purée. The more casual KANU Lounge features such gourmet family fare

as a cheddar burger and fries with truffle oil and crispy duck bacon.

Because of the home-away-from-home accommodations, Whiteface

Lodge is ideal for families. Kids love the indoor-outdoor-heated pool and

the nighttime family bonfires with s’mores. There are luxury lean-tos that

I thought would be great hideouts for youngsters, but they’re more used

by grown-ups as unusual lounges for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres or

cigars and cognac.

With competition-calibre facilities still in place for luge, bobsled, biathlon,

Nordic skiing and downhill at Whiteface Mountain, visitors can strive to

be citius, altius, fortius, (the Olympic motto — faster, higher, stronger —

in Latin), even if they’re only are weekend athletes.

One of my favourite excursions is the Ladies’ 5-K Nordic trail at Mt. Van

Hoevenberg, a pastoral five-kilometre trail through thick woods and up

and down hills. I’m considerably more plodding than the world-class

competitors whose ski time for five kilometres is an astounding 16

minutes or so, but it’s a thrill to ski where champions have raced. Later,

you can channel your inner hunter and simulate a biathlon with a

coaching session at the target range. You’ll be up close and personal

with a 22-calibre rifle aiming for a bulls-eye that is 50 metres away.

The Olympic Skating Oval on Lake Placid’s Main St. is open to the

public and this is a delightful activity that is both exhilarating and social.

You can skate laps to music and follow with hot chocolate.

You need a truly adventurous spirit to brave Lake Placid’s bobsled ride.

A driver and brakeman escort you on the five-passenger sled as you

rocket down a narrow, icy track at almost 100 kilometres per hour for an

explosive 50 seconds. It is so fast that you actually feel a G-force tug,

but world champions reach a daunting 140 km/h. You won’t catch me

bobsledding, thank you very much, but I always love a visit to the Lake

Placid Olympic Museum on Main St. That’s a lot tamer.

I’ve saved the best-known for last. Whiteface Mountain Ski Center was

an ideal Olympic venue in 1980 because it has the longest vertical drop

in eastern North America (1,018 metres/3,340 feet), easily fulfilling the

914-metre (3,000-foot) minimum requirement for some of the ski

competitions. (Whiteface wasn’t part of the 1932 action because the first

Olympic downhill events were the combined men’s and women’s races

at the 1936 Games in Garmisch, Germany.)

At Whitefacem you can conquer the steep, mogul trails that were part of

the Games 20-plus years ago, but now you’ll be gliding up on high-

speed lifts. Even with those rugged expert runs, Whiteface maintains a

strong folksy, family side. In recent years, it has opened Lookout

Mountain and expanded its glades. The hot new trail through the trees is

the black-diamond Rand’s Last Stand. Whiteface also has added

considerable snow-making and grooming systems.

94-room Adirondack resort, made up of one-, two- and three-

bedroom suites and duplexes with fully equipped kitchens, proved

the place to be when temperatures fall below zero at night and run

in the single digits during the day.

Despite the town’s numerous offerings—everything from bobsledding

on a World Cup track to ice-skating on an Olympic oval to

dogsledding on Mirror Lake, not to mention downhill and cross-

country skiing—time spent at the lodge can be as adventurous or as

relaxing as one wants it to be. Skipping the complimentary five-

minute shuttle service into the village, we opted for a morning

“yogalates” class (a combination of yoga, Pilates and body

resistance training) on a terrace overlooking snow-capped

mountains. Afterward we plunged into the 87-degree pool with its

massive, 104-degree hot tub, steam rising up into the five-degree

air outside. (The lodge has an underground passageway to the pool,

which is partly indoors, so there’s no need to freeze getting in and

out of it.)

An 80-minute deep-tissue massage ($180) at the recently enhanced

spa, with its new Spa Café and hair salon, prepared us for a cozy

retreat to our suite for some downtime by the fireplace. The spa’s

menu of services features HydraFacial MD facials (from $125 for 25

minutes), which we recently experienced and highly recommend as a

quick and effective way to deeply cleanse and intensely hydrate

skin. The take-home kit (available with the purchase of a six-

treatment series) helps the detoxifying and rejuvenating effects last

even longer.

Dinner at restaurant KANU consisted of oxtail soup and wild-boar

stew cooked to perfection, plus a dessert of homemade ice-cream-

cookie sandwiches topped with fudge and whipped cream. Drinks in

the KANU lounge, where entertaining local musicians played, closed

out the day. And there was even the option of watching the film

Avatar that evening in the resort’s movie theater, located next to the

old-fashioned arcade. (Earlier in the day it screened Madagascar 3

and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to keep the kids

entertained.)

There is no doubt plenty to do at Whiteface. But one of the best

parts of staying at the lodge is the comfortable at-home feel you get

from the beautifully rustic Adirondack Great Camp decor and the

exceptional, welcoming service. Here, everyone knows your name.

Rooms start at $375; 7 Whiteface Inn Ln.; 518-523-0500;

5) Go Cross-Country Skiing - If you can use an elliptical machine at the gym, you can cross-countryski. We did it and so can you. It's literally the same motions and don't be intimidated by all that skiequipment - you can do this. We love the trails up at Horseshoe Resort. The hotel just underwent amajor renovation, so make a weekend out of it and ski all weekend.

Writing retreats! How about my villa in the South of France.... it is located handily

near the National Booktown of Montolieu. A town dedicated to literature and the

arts. Lots of art galleries, bookshops, including an English Bookshop. The villa

has a wood burning stove for the Winter and for the Summer, a heated

swimming pool and a hot tub.

Breath taking views of the Pyrenees to inspire and create awe!

January 22, 2014

Back in 1980, the U.S. ice hockey team beat the Russians when the winter Olympic Games were

held at Lake Placid, New York.

As excitement builds for this winter's Olympic Games in Russia, the place to enjoy the action is

Lake Placid's Olympic Park.

Twice host for the winter Olympics, Lake Placid is the opposite of Sochi when it comes to crowds.

Small hotels, boutiques, and burger shops line the lakeshore leading to the Olympic Park. Set in

the magnificent Adirondack State Park, the combination of sport and spa has never been better.

There are thrilling rides on the Olympic luge, and the gondola to Whiteface Mountain's ski

complex. Avid skiers can hit the slopes on 86 trails spanning 22 miles of exhilarating terrain.

The perfect place to watch the Sochi games in comfort, Lake Placid's Whiteface Lodge has a full-

service spa as well as indoor swimming pool, and open-air ice skating rink. Lodge guests will be

treated to excursions and events throughout the area.

Tucked into a nine-room sanctuary, the spa has hair and nail salons, offers a wide range of

treatments plus group exerise, fitness equipment, and a healthy option cafe. Featuring skin care

by Naturopathica made in New York, the spa menu includes a maple butter body wrap, apple

cider masque, outdoorsman facial, and hot stones massage. Packages are available for a half-

day and full-day.

Designed like historic Great Camps that put the area on the map in the 1880s, the all-suite resort

is one-of-a-kind. Entering the wooden porte-cochere is a sensory pleasure: spacious, intimate

lounges, fireplaces perfuming the air, this is mountain living on a grand scale.

Massive logs frame the main dining room, Kanu. Stone fireplaces warm the room, and a wood-

fired oven produces regional specialties as well as pizza. The farm-to-table menu created by

executive chef David Haick and his team is sourced from local farms. During my visit last fall we

were impressed by a bone-in beef tenderloin, butternut squash puree on toasted chanterelle

mushrooms, baked Scotch egg with salad, and hay-smoked Nova Scotia oysters. Dessert was

apple sorbet, with wines and beer from New York.

Ideal for families, the Lodge has a kitchen in every suite. With just 94 spacious suites spread on

http://www.examiner.com/topic/olympics



three floors, the central garden has an ice skating rink and indoor/outdoor swimming pools. The

spa's underground location provides a warm walkway to the pools, which aren't large enough for

swimming laps but keep kids happy. And there's a 56-seat movie theater for daily screenings,

complete with popcorn.

As night came on, couples relaxed in the whirlpools, steam rising into the crisp air. The

Adirondacks are about enjoying the outdoors, and cross-country ski trails on the Lodge grounds

add an element of exercise. Some guests settle into open-air huts with snacks from room

service.Two spacious, hand-crafted lean-tos provide an inviting, sheltered spot under the stars to

gather for cigars, whiskey flights, and hors d’oeuvres by the fire.

Whiteface Lodge has daily rates that include breakfast buffet and use of spa facilities. The

Olympic Experience Package includes a special Olympic-themed welcome amenity, two 50-

minute sports massages, and two Olympic Sites Passports offering admission to the Lake Placid

Olympic Museum and Ski Jumping Complex among other popular attractions. Whiteface Lodge’s

concierge team will also be on hand as expert “coaches” to help guests go for the gold in events

including ice-climbing, bobsledding, tubing, speed skating, and downhill skiing at nearby

Whiteface Mountain.

Guests booking the Olympic package will enjoy luxurious suite accommodations complete with

balcony, fireplace, and full kitchen, American breakfast daily in KANU, warm, homemade cookies

at turndown, nightly s’mores, and access to all resort amenities including a two-lane bowling

alley. The package is available now through March 31, with rates starting at $476 per night.

The holiday season has come and gone, but there’s still plenty of time to treat yourself to a 2014 winter vacation. Tropical

getaways are a beautiful respite from the cold, but there’s something to be said for taking in the very best of winter. And if

you’re looking for the perfect snowy holiday, a trip to the New England area is just what you need.

The region is home to fantastic skiing, dining, and luxury resorts and just a car-ride away for Canadians on the East Coast.

Winter Vacation: North East | Mrs. Robinson:

This picturesque village is nestled at the foot of the Adirondack Mountain range and is an ideal rustic getaway. The village

hosted the 1980 Winter Olympics (remember the “Miracle on Ice”?), so you’ll have an opportunity to ski some of the best

mountains in the world. The Whiteface Lodge, pictured below, is our dream hotel: it’s a luxury all-suite resort full of rustic

comfort and a 5,800 ft spa. The Lodge has been ranked as one of the World’s Best Places to Stay by Condé Nast.

Boston, MA:

A week might just not be enough time to take in the history and culture of Boston. Explore the city’s historic North End and

fill up on authentic Italian cuisine, or take a trip over to any of its other neighbourhoods to get your fill of everything from

fantastic bagels (Brookline) to perfect dumplings (Chinatown). You can take short day trips from the city to reach nearby

mountains for some skiing and spend New Year’s taking in an amazing fireworks show over the Charles River.

Burlington, Vermont:

This small city isn’t an obvious choice for a vacation spot, but trust us when we say that Burlington is perfect for a cozy

winter getaway. Downtown Burlington is full of charming shops and restaurants that are unique to Vermont and the New

England region and the area is home to Stowe Mountain, known for four particularly challenging trails and
