Great rates, more space

Itching to get out for a winter adventure? Need to reset and recharge? Lake Placid is perfect in either case. With the Adirondack Mountains at your doorstep, a downtown loaded with spas, restaurants, boutiques, and bars, and Whiteface Mountain just minutes away, we're the ultimate winter destination no matter how you enjoy the season. And with midweek deals and ski and stay packages, visiting is easy on your brain and budget!

Discover three reasons why we love midweek stays in Lake Placid.

1. A relaxed pace of living

One of the best things about Lake Placid in the winter is its authentic mountain town charm. A quaint downtown, cozy fireside dining, quiet mornings sipping coffee with a scenic view: these features are best enjoyed at a slower pace. With fewer visitors than on weekends, weekday stays give you the chance to experience Lake Placid at your own pace.

2. More space on the trails

Whether its at Whiteface or in the woods, you'll find fewer people on the trails when you visit midweek. That means more fresh tracks for skiers and snowboarders, and a greater sense of solitude for those craving a backcountry escape. Lift lines will be shorter, and parking at the most popular trails will be easier to come by. We love sharing our slopes and summits, but sometimes it's nice to have the scenery to yourself.

3. Deals on lodging, lift tickets, and more

Midweek stays are easier on your budget, too! Lodging properties offer great deals on midweek and extended stays, and many partner with Whiteface Mountain to provide special ski and stay rates. Weekdays are also great for dining deals, with many local restaurants running weekly promotions featuring discounts and special menus.

Now go submit that PTO request (or play hooky, we won't tell) and book yourself the perfect midweek winter getaway to Lake Placid!
