I had a great time at Lake Placid myself about 6 years ago. My daughter was skating at the US Nationals for synchronized skating, and it was amazing to have the opportunity to see her skate on the same rink that was used for the Olympics.

Did you get a chance to do the bobsled? That was one of the highlights of that trip for me, although I really enjoyed skiing Whiteface Mountain as well.

Thanks for sharing the pics, it looks like you had a great time!

5.5 hours for me and ski there every year. Did you stay at the Golden Arrow or just ride the Dogsled?

How was the skiing? Paron's Looks a little thin...From your picture.

My family went to LP last year and had a great time.
LP offers great skiing and a nice village with good restaurants.

Hope you had a good time the hard top and ski rack looks nice.

You've got 18" rims (the nicest 18"'s ever on an X5 IMHO). What tires were you running... and WHERE did you find the Rola rack???
