At Whiteface Mountain, we are fortunate to ski and ride surrounded by fresh air, countless bodies of crystal clear water, preserved forest and 45 other High Peaks that create unparalleled scenery and breathtaking views. We recognize this is much of what makes Whiteface Mountain so special. Our team strives to create an exceptional experience while also considering ways to protect and preserve our environment for future generations.
