Whiteface Mountain is the fifth-highest mountain in the U.S. state of New York, and one of the High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. Set apart from most of the other High Peaks, the summit offers a 360-degree view of the Adirondacks and clear-day glimpses of Vermont and even Canada, where the skyscrapers of Montreal, 80 miles (130 km) away, can be seen on a very clear day. Located in the town of Wilmington, about 13 miles (21 km) from Lake Placid, the mountain's east slope is home to a major ski area with the greatest vertical drop east of the Rockies, which hosted the alpine skiing competitions of the 1980 Winter Olympics. Unique among the High Peaks, Whiteface features a developed summit and seasonal accessibility by motor vehicle. Whiteface Memorial Highway reaches a parking area at a

  • Whiteface Mountain är det femte högsta berget i New York, och en av bland Adirondack Mountains. Berget är avskilt från de flesta andra högre topparna, och från toppen kan man se i alla riktningar ut över Adirondack Mountains. Under klara dagar går det också ofta även att se glimtar av Vermont och Kanada. Berget ligger vid staden Wilmington (omkring 21 kilometer från Lake Placid) och här finns ett skidområde med den högsta fallhöjden i östra USA (1 045 m). Fritidsskidåkningen ökade i popularitet under åren efter andra världskriget kan delvis hänföras till insatser av USA:s armés . Vid Whiteface Mountains hölls också alpin skidåkning vid olympiska vinterspelen 1980. Berget är unikt bland High Peaks, då toppen utvecklats och kan . (sv)
  • Уайтфейс (англ. Whiteface Mountain) — пятая по высоте гора в штате Нью-Йорк (США) и один из высоких пиков Адирондакских гор. Находясь в стороне от большинства других высоких пиков, вершина предлагает 360-градусный вид на Адирондак, Вермонт и даже Канаду, где небоскребы Монреаля, находящиеся на расстоянии 130 км, можно увидеть в очень ясный день. Уникальность среди высоких пиков делает развитая система на вершине и сезонная доступность проезда на автомобиле. (ru)
