Been looking for a while to find a place before my week expired. Had been checking Maine and Connecticut tho, never dreamed that LP would open up!! I've checked before & usually nothing ~ Persistence Pays!! Now for the fun part ~ the research!!

We went one summer. Did a lot of Olympic related things - they had great events the week we were there. Got to the top of the ski jump, watched some competitions, saw iceskating in the famous( and little) ice rink, and my kids (then 10 and 12) did a summer bobsled run that they will remember forever. They got "medals" and were given jackets to put on and stand on the "podium" for their first ande second p[lace "wins".. (Although we had to sign a waver it was safe with 2 pros in front and back of them...)
Visited in the Olympic training center as well .
Nice area, pretty town, always wanted to go back. Enjoy!@!

Congrats!!! Which exchange company came through? I sent my guys to Lake Placid Club Lodges one winter - they LOVED the unit, it was huge.

Great frozen custard joint just up the hill going out of town. Lots of things to do and I wouldn't object to going back again.
