- Lake Placid was the Olympic venue for 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. Whiteface Mountain was one of the shortest downhill in the Olympics. This is my Olympic Downhill Run from the top of Whiteface Mountain to the bottom.
That was bad ass!
You are an incredibly good skiier
You skied the upper part of the women's downhill, and the lower part of the men's... the men's coarse was on cloudspin next to skyward and the women had a starting gate down from the summit at a midstation on the old summit chair.... it was over 3000' vert all the way to the base, but the finish was actually up the hill near the base of the parkway double at 2800'-2600' vert... kudos to the top to bottom non-stop run! even with the flatter sections that's a quick, thigh burning 3000' vert
Yeah I should have checked with the locals..
Men's downhill upper part was in Upper Cloudspin, not Upper Skyward. Upper Skyward is woman's downhill.
Yeah, went off an old map and tried my best to figure it out, anyway had a great time there, knocking out all the Olympic Venues, North America DONE, Europe next.
Nice
Clearly, this fellow's run, as impressive as it was, was done on the less challenging Women's DH course. I remember it well, the course was rough and choppy enough that Ken Read the favorite had his skis ripped under him, while Leonhard Stock seemed like he was about to go off course when he skied the race of his life and won.
You picked the wrong trail, as pointed out, men’s downhill was on Cloudspin
Yeah did my best with a very old trail map from the web
i went there
-Not exactly the Hahnenkamm-
Going this Winter 2023 will post my run there for you 🙂
Completely wrong trail.
Isn't it the way down mountain run?
Not really. He skied the first part of the women’s course then made his was on the men’s
Yeah should have asked a local, guess I will need to return, Ive hit every Olympic Venue in North America, heading to Europe this winter
