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

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

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.

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
