There are no winter Olympics this year but we all can remember \u2014 or at least remember hearing about \u2014 one of the country\u2019s biggest \u2014 and most shocking \u2014 Olympic wins: the men\u2019s hockey team defeating Russia in 1980. The U.S team, a plucky bunch of college kids, beat the professional Russian team in what is still called the \u201cMiracle on Ice.\u201d
\n\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Lake Placid is the home of that miracle, and it\u2019s hard to get it out of one\u2019s mind when visiting the Adirondacks, a virtual scenic winter wonderland in upstate New York. The Adirondacks are still an epicenter of winter fun \u2014 as well as fun in the other three seasons.
\n\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Of course, it is fitting that there are a lot of outdoor activities, including skiing and boarding at Whiteface Mountain. Get a glimpse of what\u2019s it\u2019s like to be an Olympic bobsledder at the new Cliffside Mountain Coaster at Mt. Van Hoevenberg, the longest year-round mountain coaster in the U.S. Other attractions at the Olympic site include the new Sky Flyer Zipline at the Lake Placid Olympic Jumping Complex and the new SixRide Experience, an eight-person gondola that brings guests from the Olympic Jumping Complex\u2019s base lodge to the 90-meter and 120-meter ski jump towers.
\n\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>For hikers, there are five fire tower trails in Hamilton County that travelers can visit and climb. Other fantastic outdoor activities include dogsledding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, ice fishing, pond hockey, ice skating and cross country skiing. For those looking for Instagram shots, go to Ausable Chasm, about an hour from Lake Placid where there are frozen waterfalls just waiting for a close-up.
\n\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>There\u2019s plenty of lodging options from quaint bed and breakfasts to family-friendly resorts to luxurious retreats such as Mirror Lake Inn, Whiteface Lodge and Hotel Saranac. The newest offering is the Lake Placid Inn and the Saranac Waterfront Lodge, both of which opened this year.
