Head to Lake Placid, host to the 1980 Winter Olympic Games. Channel your inner Olympic bobsledder at the Cliffside Mountain Coaster, the longest year-round mountain coaster in the country. Soar above Lake Placid on the Sky Flyer Zipline. If you prefer an enclosed option, try the SkyRide Experience. The eight-person gondola brings guests from the Olympic Jumping Complex’s base lodge up to the ski jump towers, a new glass-enclosed elevator ride to the ski jumps with views of the Adirondack High Peaks. Get in the holiday mood at the Lake Placid Holiday Village Stroll, running Dec. 11–13.
