The Winter Olympic Challenge, a joint effort between the United States Olympic Committee and the NYS Olympic Regional Development Authority is a unique opportunity to experience Winter sports firsthand. Participants have the chance to speed down the new combined sliding track at the Olympic Sports Complex and experience the “Champagne of Thrills”; race slalom gates at Whiteface Mountain where Phil Mahre won Olympic silver; skate laps around the Olympic Speed Skating Oval, site of Eric Heiden’s five gold medals; shoot pucks and skate on the 1980 Rink- Herb Brooks Arena, site of the historic “Miracle on Ice”; and much more. There is no better location for this action-packed Olympic style fantasy experience than Lake Placid, NY, “The Winter Sports Capital of the World.” Host to the 1932 and 1980 Olympic Winter Games this world renowned village is also the home to one of three United States Olympic Training Centers, bringing world class training and competition to the area. With the majestic Adirondack Mountains and the Olympic Village of Lake Placid as the backdrop, guests will experience the thrill of a full program of winter sports, interactive activities and Adirondack hospitality. The program hosts corporations and special groups interested in promoting principals such as preparation, teamwork and accomplishment. Whether the challenge is designed by the company as an employee incentive program or used to entertain clients, it is the ideal forum for bonding and encouraging a sense of personal achievement. Skills will be developed and polished with the help of world-class coaches—past, present and future Olympians. Guests will be timed and scored individually and tallied for their respective teams in their daily activities. On the closing evening of the action-packed event, gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded to the competing teams. As a noncompetitive experience, participants have the opportunity to stroll down Main Street and visit the many alpine boutiques and Adirondack shops, relax in the spa facilities or enjoy a spectacular demonstration in ski jumping and freestyle aerial skiing at the Olympic Jumping Complex.
