While not our first stop, the Lake Placid visit was definitely memorable! Our first view of the Olympic events was of the ski jumps – wow, are they ever TALL!
Later in the visit, we actually went up to the top of the ski jump and looked around. It was a great view of the Lake Placid area, the surrounding mountains and the other Olympic venues. We also saw the kids practicing their ski aerial jumps – skiing down a wet surface, doing their acrobatic jump into a swimming pool. Way cool!
The highlight of the visit to the Olympic venue was the BOBSLED ride! We all rode it – IT WAS AWESOME!
