“I

was only eight years old when Whiteface opened,” 

said general manager Jay Rand. “I spent most of 

my time ski jumping in those days, but I remember 

downhill skiing here as a kid. There were only two lifts 

and a few trails. Now, after 50 years of operation there 

are ten lifts and 77 trails, and Whiteface skiers enjoy the 

greatest vertical drop east of the Rocky Mountains.” 

On January 25, 1958, Governor Averell Harriman 

assembled at the base of Whiteface Mountain in 

Wilmington, with other dignitaries for an impressive ribbon-cutting 

ceremony to celebrate the opening of the 

state’s grandest alpine ski venue, Whiteface Mountain Ski 

Center. This special event was particularly gratifying for 

the skiers and other outdoor enthusiasts who lobbied for 

a “big mountain” in the Lake Placid area for many years. 

Ironically, when the athletes competed in the skiing 

events at the 1932 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid, 

there was only “skiing.” This more closely resembled 

cross-country skiing, rather than today’s downhill techniques. 

The truth is that many ski enthusiasts doggedly 

climbed snowy hills to experience the thrill of skiing 

down the trails and open fi elds with their wooden skis 

and leather boots. However, the 1932 Olympic ski races 

were held on the relatively fl at terrain with some rolling 

hills at the Lake Placid Club. Though the tiny village was 

surrounded by majestic mountain ranges there was no 

“down mountain skiing” as we know it today. 

Some of the spectators at the 1932 Winter Olympic 

Games returned to their upstate communities full of 

enthusiasm for using the snow covered hills and trails for 

skiing in their own towns and hamlets. Soon New York

Celebrating the Anniversary of a Giant 

by Ron Farra 

State was home to many open ski slopes including those 

in Albany, Indian Lake, North Creek, Old Forge, Saratoga 

Springs, Saranac, Tupper Lake and Lake Placid. In North 

Creek, skiers who arrived on the famous ski trains were 

transported uphill in private cars and trucks so they 

could schuss down the trails made during the non-snow 

months by enterprising townsfolk. The historic “Ride-Up, 

Ski-Down Program” for 25 cents per ride continued until 

rope tows, T-bars, and J-bars were added at Little Gore 

Mountain to carry skiers up the snowy slopes. 

After hosting the 1932 Winter Olympic Games, Lake 

Placid’s reputation grew as a winter resort and vacation 

spot, blessed with the awesome beauty of the Adirondack 

Mountains and Whiteface Mountain (elevation 4,867 

feet) – the fi fth highest peak in New York State. Alpine 

skiing continued to gain popularity as the village hosted 

a wide variety of winter sports, meets, competitions, exhibitions 

and tournaments. During the 1940s Lake Placid 

boasted of three ski slopes with 600 to 700 foot vertical 

drops, including Scott’s Cobble, Faun Ridge and Mount 

Whitney, as well as a downhill racing trail at Mount Jo. 

But the area needed a larger, more challenging ski center 

to keep up with the competition from other prestigious 

winter resorts like Stowe, Vt., North Conway, N.H., and 

Sun Valley, Idaho. 

Though it took a legislative amendment and a great 

deal of hard work for many ski enthusiasts, the development 

of 20 miles of ski trails in the state’s “Forever Wild” 

Adirondack Forest Preserve was approved in 1941. But it 

would take many years for those trails to be cut. 

Initial construction started in 1941 and stopped soon

RUNNING & WALKING 

Athlete’s ‘Bucket List’ 

New Goals to Find the Joy in Your Life 

by Laura Clark 

hen I joined the Saratoga Stryders 

Wrunning club, I was amazed to discover 

that fellow club member Bill Taylor 

spent a good portion of each New Year’s 

Day meticulously plotting out his life for 

the next 12 months. Not his work life or 

his family life, but his athletic life. While 

the rest of us mortals were resolving to eat 

one less donut, Bill was adding a positive 

spin to the yearly challenge. 

While spontaneity is still a big part 

of my life, I have come to recognize that 

focusing on a new goal defi nitely helps 

get me out the door. I know that I have 

a tendency to get stuck in a rut, feeling 

duty-bound to enter the same events 

year after year. But instead of plotting the 

same routine on predictable graph paper, 

I have learned that it is vital to step out of 

that little blue-rimmed square. It doesn’t 

have to be a big leap, just a small step into 

somewhat unfamiliar territory. 

Here are some suggestions to consider 

adding to your life list: 

“S” Stands for Snow… 

Have you noticed that many of the snow 

sports also begin with the letter “s”? Take 

ski biathlons, snowshoeing, skijoring… 

While snowshoeing is rapidly catching on, 

skijoring and ski biathlons are still more 

popular in Europe than in the United 

States. Getting in on the leading edge of 

any sport means that until the rest of the 

world catches up, even average individuals 

have an opportunity to shine. 

The sport of snowshoe racing is a great 

way to avoid falling off a boring treadmill, 

or breaking an ankle on icy roads, plus it 

will get you in shape really fast. Ever wonder 

why many of the top mountain racers 

like Paul Low and Nikki Kimball also 

happen to be champion snowshoers? The 

reason is that a few months on snowshoes 

will develop strong quads and lungs and 

place you way ahead of the pack once spring 

arrives. To get started, visit the Western 

Mass. Athletic Club (runwmac.com) for 

events and their SnoNews tips, and Empire 

State Snowshoeing (empirestatesnowshoe. 

org) for New York happenings. 

With the names Fido and Spot giving 

way to Finn and Sophie as pets are awarded 

family member status, attendance at 

dog obedience school is as obligatory as 

three walks a day. But what if you and your 

pet want to break out of the mold? Simply 

try skijoring by trading your sneakers for 

BIATHLETE SEAN HALLIGAN OF WILTON AT 

THE EMPIRE STATE GAMES IN LAKE PLACID.

cross-country skis and your dog’s leash 

for a skijor halter. Skijoring requires intuitive 

cooperation between interspecies 

team members and is best approached 

with a few starter lessons. For instruction 

and advice on reliable gear, contact 

Garnet Hill Lodge (garnet-hill.com) in 

North River, Salmon Hills (salmonhills. 

com) in Redfi eld, and the Olympic Sports 

Complex (whitefacelakeplacid.com) in 

Lake Placid. Also, check out rundawgrun. 

com, adirondackskidog.com and skijornow.com, 

and the books Skijor with Your 

Dog by Mari Hoe-Raitto and Ski Spot Run 

by Matt Haakenstad. 

For biathlon, the Saratoga Biathlon 

Club in Day (saratogabiathlon.20m.com) 

offers a convenient location to practice 

snow skills. The club exists in a magic 

area where snow falls early and stays late 

despite what it is doing in the rest of the 

Capital Region. For an inexpensive membership 

fee, you get unlimited use of challenging 

groomed trails. You will be welcomed 

by Jim and Betty Schreiner, who 

host ski, snowshoe and running biathlons 

year-round. Just arrive an hour before 

any of their events, check out a loaner 

rifl e and learn the basics. For info on the 

Lake Placid Biathlon Club and the sport, 

visit nybiathlon.org. 

Tower Climbing… 

Looking for a sport that will impress your 

friends but requires less time to complete 

than your average 5K race? Try tower (or 

stair) climbing. There are two events in 

Albany, the 20th annual Corning Tower 

Stair Climb (cff.org) on February 7, and 

the inaugural Climb UAlbany (alanys.org) in 

the 22-story Colonial Tower on March 29. 

Runners are sent off in waves, avoiding 

the ping-pong effect of a mass-start 

up a narrow stairwell. At last year’s 42story 

Corning Tower race, I won my age 

group in a respectable 9:11, coming off 

a strong snowshoe season with little 

actual stair practice. I also discovered the 

“climber’s hack” wheezing and coughing 

experienced afterwards, however it’s really 

no big deal since it doesn’t affect your 

race. For a list of climbs worldwide, go to 

towerrunning.com. 

Climb Another Mountain… 

The 13th annual USATF-New England 

Mountain Running Circuit (usatfne. 

org) takes the children’s song, The Bear 

Went Over the Mountain, to new heights 

with six mountain challenges. The series 

begins in late May and continues through 

the middle of June. USATF members who 

complete all six events receive a coveted 

Mountain Goat T-shirt and a lottery 

bypass for the Mount Washington Road 

Race on June 21. Obviously, it takes a good 

deal of stamina to run all the way up any 

mountain and many folks power hike the 

steepest sections. This quest is an ideal 

follow-up for those coming off a strong 

ski or snowshoe season and surprisingly, 

easier on the joints than a “normal” race. 

Best of all, running up a mountain never 

fails to impress fl at 5K devotees. 

“The Streak…” 

Runners in pursuit of the streak are often 

regarded with a mixture of envy and consternation. 

As defi ned by the United States 

Running Streak Association (runeveryday. 

com), a streak involves running at least 

one continuous mile every day. While 

maintaining a streak will get you out the 

door, this is often not a good thing to do 

when sick or injured. 

However, there are more inventive and 

potentially doable streaks just waiting for 

anyone with a little imagination. You could 

aspire to complete all the races in a series, 

like the Mountain Running Circuit or the 

Albany Running Exchange’s fourth annual 

free Summer Trail Run Series (albanyrunningexchange.org) 

on Thursdays from 

late May through August. 

Some events like the WMAC Snowshoe 

Series also acknowledge “points” leaders. 

Theoretically, the headliners would be bigname 

stars whom you could never beat 

in a thousand years. But think again! The 

big stars often have other, more lucrative 

commitments, and might make only one 

or two of the series races, leaving room for 

you – especially if you’re a female. Last year, 

I was second female points leader despite 

the fact that I mostly fi nished on the bottom 

half of the race results. Sometimes it 

pays just to show up! 

Another possibility is to join The 

Adirondack Runners (adirondackrunners. 

com) and enter their Mileage High Club, 

where members are invited to pursue a 

yearly mileage goal that is both doable 

and somewhat challenging. All who 

achieve their goal receive certifi cates, 

with the possibility of earning patches at 

signifi cant milestones. Mileage is tracked 

quarterly in the club newsletter for all 

to see, if you so desire, which defi nitely 

serves as good motivation. 

For inspiration, here are three books 

to consider reading: Long Distance: A Year 

of Living Strenuously by Bill McKibben; 

Over the Edge: A Regular Guy’s Odyssey 

in Extreme Sports by Michael Bane; and 

To the Edge: A Man, Death Valley and the 

Mystery of Endurance by Kirk Johnson. 

Once you get started on your quest, 

New Year’s resolution time will become 

an occasion for revitalization rather than 

dread. There is an endless parade of possibilities 

to add to your life list from running 

a marathon in every state, to competing 

in a 24-hour relay race, to giving back 

by volunteering at an event. Whatever 

new path you choose, know that you will 

return both refreshed and reenergized.

Library.


SWIMMING 

BILATERAL BREATHING 

From: Donal Fagan 

Date: January 29, 2008 11:40am 

Last week, while I was doing the 5 x 50 

freestyle, I happened to switch between 

“breathe alternate sides” and “25 breathe 

left, 25 breathe right.” Though I swam with 

the same effort, breathe alternate sides was 

always a few seconds faster. 

From: Grant Hall 

Date: January 29, 2008 12:07pm 

This is still true for me as well. My conclusion 

has been that I have still not completely 

mastered a perfectly executed, seamless 

breath. 

From: Richard Skerrett 


In my limited experience, I would say 

that while breathing alternate sides is highly 

benefi cial, breathing to one side on odd 

lengths and the other side on even lengths 

may be even better. Further, although I 

haven’t established it with certainty I think 

that I swim better breathing to the “wrong” 

side. Perhaps not faster yet, but with a more 

effi cient stroke. I must do some timed tests 

to compare them. 

From: Donal Fagan 


I did some timed 500s a few years ago. 

Even though I feel better breathing left, 

or alternating breathing side by 25, I was 

fastest breathing exclusively to the right. I 

never timed alternate breathing for a full 

500, though. I’ve only managed that once 

or twice. 

From: Terry Laughlin 


This is an excellent series of observations 

on the different choices one has for breathing 

bilaterally. My introduction to bilateral 

breathing came after I had “retired” from 

competitive swimming at age 21 to begin 

coaching.

On my fi rst practice as a coach, I noticed 

that nearly my entire team of 15 college 

men had lopsided strokes. The left-breathers 

swung wider on recovery on the left side 

and the right-hand stroke crossed the centerline. 

The right-breathers did the opposite. 

After pondering what I’d seen that evening, 

I decided to experiment with “wrong side 

breathing” the next day. 

The next day I instructed the team to 

breathe on their less natural side throughout 

our 800-yard warm-up. Instantly nearly 

everyone was far more symmetrical in their 

stroking. Being a new coach, I wasn’t exactly 

sure why or what the effect of that might 

be, but I was pretty sure that “practicing 

symmetry” would be good for their swimming. 

Thirty-fi ve years later, I’m also pretty 

sure that most probably felt awkward and 

swam slower during that warm-up though 

they looked better. From that day I became 

a believer in bilateral breathing during practice 

though I didn’t insist on it during races. 

I was still swimming a bit myself at 

that time (I didn’t resume regular training 

for another 17 years) and I began breathing 

alternate sides. Breathing to the right 

felt awkward, but I kept at it. For the next 

25 years my bilateral breathing was mostly 

alternate sides – every 3, 5 or 7 strokes. 

As I approached my 50th birthday, I 

became dissatisfi ed with the fact that my 

right-hand catch never felt as good as my left. 

I understood why. For my fi rst ten years of 

swimming, a period when I gave little thought 

to technique, I’d developed many bad habits. 

Several – poor alignment and “collapsing

by Terry Laughlin 

catch” on my right side – were related to my 

being a left-breather. My other side had never 

developed bad habits so it was “virgin.” 

In my late 40s I decided to breathe mostly 

to my right for a year or two, to somewhat 

compensate for breathing exclusively left for 

my fi rst 10 years as a swimmer. It was challenging 

at fi rst, because it felt unnatural. 

Breathing alternate sides, even for 20-plus 

years, had not exposed me to the sense of 

full-time awkwardness one gets from breathing 

hundreds of times in a row to one’s less 

natural side. But my alignment and catch on 

both sides were unquestionably better when 

I breathed only to the right. 

Consequently I had immediate, measurable 

gains in effi ciency, taking one less 

stroke-per-length in 25-yard pools and two 

to three less in 50-meter pools. I didn’t time 

myself too much in the beginning, but I was 

probably a bit slower. 

I was comfortable with what I was sure 

would be a temporary sacrifi ce in speed, 

because concentrated right-breathing 

seemed the only way to reeducate my right 

hand to an effective catch. Which is precisely 

what occurred – my right hand is still not 

quite as “patient” as my left, but it’s dramatically 

better than before. 

I take an estimated half-million freestyle 

strokes a year. A quarter-million of those 

strokes – all those I take with my right hand 

– feel markedly more effective now than 

eight years ago because I spent a year or two 

breathing mainly to my right, followed over 

the past six years, taking a roughly equal 

number of breaths to each side. 

30th 

Anniversary!

This year I’ve resumed breathing more 

often to the left, my original side. Why? 

Because I’m still unquestionably faster when I 

breathe left, but after so many years of “remedial” 

breathing I’m now a much more effi cient 

swimmer whichever side I breathe on. 

Try These Exercises in “Examined” 

Bilateral Breathing 

� Swim three rounds of “4 x 50” freestyle. Rest 

for fi ve or more deep, slow “cleansing” breaths 

between 50s – or choose an interval that 

allows at least 15 seconds recovery between 

50s. Rest for a minute between rounds. 

� In each round, swim one 50 of each: breathe 

to your left for the entire 50; breathe to your 

right for the entire 50; breathe to your left for 

25 and your right for 25; and breathe bilaterally 

(every three strokes) for the entire 50. 

� On the fi rst round just count strokes for 

each 50. On the second round, time yourself 

for each 50. On the third round, calculate 

your Swim Golf score for each 50 (add 

strokes + time in seconds). 

Are you more effi cient (fewer strokes) with 

one breathing pattern than others? Are you 

faster with one breathing pattern than others? 

Are you more effective (lower golf score) with 

one breathing pattern than others?

ATHLETE PROFILE 

Mary Duprey 

by Shannon Brescher Shea 

Speaking to Mary Duprey, most people 

would not guess that she is a competitive 

athlete, much less a highly successful one. 

She rarely talks about her cycling victories or 

impressive number of wins. But when she 

reaches the starting line, her competitors 

don’t even have time to realize how formidable 

she is before she disappears from sight. 

But Mary was not always a dominant 

force. Rather, she was far less active and 

healthy in her early 20s than she is now. 

“I used to smoke cigarettes, drink a lot of 

alcohol,” she said. “Then I decided I needed 

to get my stuff together.” 

Cycling attracted her as an activity, so 

she decided it might be the right thing to 

get her life in gear. Liking the freedom of 

the bicycle, she started competing in local 

time trial events and soon “fell in love with 

[it].” Participating in these rides awakened 

Mary’s inner athlete. “I think it’s just the 

drive that I had,” she said. “If I am going to 

do something, I’m going to go all out.” 

As her dedication grew, she quickly 

became known in the area’s athletic scene. 

She lives in Rouses Point, near the New 

York/Canadian border, but participates in 

events throughout the region. Upon a fellow 

rider’s recommendation, a leader of a 

local kayak triathlon team called her one 

day, and said, “I heard you were a good 

cyclist. Do you want to be on the team?” 

Although Mary had never met the caller, 

she readily accepted the invitation. Mary 

has participated every year since then 

in The Great Race triathlon each July, a 

3.1-mile run, 12-mile –bike, and 3-mile 

canoe/kayak event in St. Albans Bay, Vt. 

� START OF 2006 DUATHLON IN SAN JUAN, 

PUERTO RICO - SECOND PLACE IN WOMENS’ 

DIVISION. 

� WITH TORI AND GERRY AT 2007 NYS TIME 

TRIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN STILLWATER – 

SILVER MEDAL IN WO MENS’ OPEN DIVISION. 

� 2007 COLCHESTER, VT., TRI-OPTION 

TRIATHLON – FIRST PLACE IN WOMENS’ 

KAYAK DIVISION 

Mary’s reputation has only continued 

to expand since then, both as a cyclist 

and kayak triathlete. Testifying to her 

toughness, fellow athlete Clyde Yarnell of 

Essex, Vt., commented that not only does 

she win the women’s events, but regularly 

beats many of the top men. Describing the 

men at The Great Race triathlon, he said, 

“They can compare their times only by 

how many minutes Mary had beat them 

by. That’s pretty impressive. ‘Mary’s only 

beat me by two minutes this year… Mary’s 

only beat me by one minute this year…’” 

Mary’s winning has inspired her to 

tackle new challenges. “She wins a lot, 

no question. But I think she is probably 

satisfi ed to compete well,” said Don West 

of [to be determined], who participates 

in bicycle time trial races with her. “She 

won’t just stay home where she knows 

she can win.” Mary has competed as far 

away as Puerto Rico, and even brought 

her bicycle to Ireland on a business trip 

so that she could train. 

In September 2007, Mary topped even 

herself with her result in the Josh Billings 

RunAground triathlon, a 27-mile bike, 

fi ve-mile canoe/kayak, and six-mile run 

event in Lenox, Mass. Even though it 

was her fi rst time competing individually, 

she set a new women’s record by 

over fi ve minutes. “That is a huge time,” 

Clyde said, emphasizing that it included 

Age: 48 

Family: Husband, Gerry; 

Step-Daughters, 

Karen, 36, Shelley, 34; 

Daughters, Lauren, 25, 

Tori, 14 

Residence: Rouses Point 

Occupation: Quality Assurance 

Manager, Wyeth 

Pharmaceuticals 

Sport: Bicycling; Kayak/Canoe 

Triathlon (Kayak or 

Canoe/Bike/Run) 

all ages. Mary described it as her proudest 

moment yet, commenting, “I was just 

really pleased with myself that I was able 

to do that.” The Josh Billings triathlon is 

especially challenging as it begins with a 

mass bicycle start of over 500 cyclists. 

However, Mary has never been content 

to fall back on her accomplishments. 

Don, who met her over 20 years ago, 

recalled her reluctance to enter bike/run 

events. “She said, ‘Oh, I can’t run.’ Within 

a year or two, she just started running,” he 

said. Now, she often wins her age group 

for the running portion of multisport 

events. Similarly, she recently registered 

for the Tupper Lake Tinman Triathlon, a 

1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike, and 13.1mile 

run event on June 29, 2008, although 

she doesn’t consider herself a swimmer. 

“I’m going to learn how to swim in the 

next fi ve months,” she said. “It excites me. 

I guess I have a fear of water – so I think 

I’m doing it just to overcome the fear.” She 

hopes that once she completes this halfironman 

she may be able to tackle the 

Ironman USA Lake Placid triathlon (July 

20, 2008) in a future year. 

Despite her success, Mary rarely speaks 

about her triumphs. Instead, she is known 

for her quiet modesty, allowing her victories 

to speak for her. “What’s the most amazing 

to see is that she’s such a pleasant person,” 

Clyde said. “You wouldn’t even know she’s 

a top-notch athlete. You never know until 

she gets on the bike and she gets her game 

face.” Similarly, Don said, “She doesn’t 

boast... Just does it quietly and lets it go. 

She’s not in it for recognition.” 

Rather than touting her accomplishments, 

Mary works hard to share her dedication 

to sports with her family. Although 

she fi rst met her husband, Gerry, through 

work, it was their running that brought 

them together. They both worked the second 

shift, ending at 1am. “When you’re 

done at one o’clock in the morning, 

you’re usually not ready to go home and 

go sleep,” she said. Instead of retreating to 

bed, some of the employees would go out 

for very early morning runs. In that group, 

�� 

�� 

�� 

�� 

Mary and Gerry connected, running under 

the streetlights in the quiet night streets. 

Now, Mary balances her priorities 

by involving her family in her activities. 

Much of the time, her family acts as her 

support crew, which Mary said is “actually 

sometimes harder than doing the event.” 

Describing Mary and her husband, Don 

said, “They’re really a unit… They take up 

the slack for each other.” For example, Gerry 

often acts as a timer for the weekly time trials 

that Mary participates in and organizes. 

In addition to acting as Mary’s crew 

and cheering section, her family often 

takes part in the events. Last August, Mary 

and Gerry competed in the 17-mile Herc 

Speed Hiking Competition (with 6,678foot 

elevation gain/loss) at Sugarbush 

Resort in Warren, Vt., which Gerry 

described as “just the toughest thing I’ve 

ever seen.” To involve, Tori, her teenage 

daughter, in her activities, Mary bought a 

tandem bike. Mother, father, and daughter 

form a team for The Great Race triathlon 

with Mary kayaking, Gerry running, 

and Gerry and Tori cycling together. 

Recently, Mary has built upon her 

experience in the sporting world to 

reach out to non-athletes. Seeing her 

self-described “passion for fi tness,” her 

employers at Wyeth Pharmaceuticals 

asked her if she would act as the fi tness 

center manager. In this position, Mary 

has organized employee challenges and 

established an indoor walking path. 

A natural outgrowth of this job has 

been Mary’s participation in the American 

Heart Association’s “Go Red for Women” 

outreach program. After an organizational 

representative helped the center 

start a walking program, Mary decided to 

join the Plattsburgh chapter. “Our goal is 

to bring awareness to women and to men 

that heart disease is actually the number 

one killer of women in America,” she said. 

The group recently held its inaugural Go 

Red for Women Breakfast, a well-attended 

educational event and plans to hold 

another one next year. 

The cause is especially close to Mary, 

because she suffers from high blood pressure 

herself. “It was hard for me to believe I 

had high blood pressure,” she said. “I actually 

fought it for a couple of years.” Although 

she understands how some women wish 

to ignore the issue, she believes raising 

awareness of heart disease is essential. “It’s 

very preventable,” she said. 

Since the signs of a heart attack differ 

between men and women, a large part of 

her campaign focuses on raising awareness 

of these signals. She said that unlike 

men, women sometimes experience pain 

under their tongue or in their stomach. 

She encourages women to make a healthy 

diet and fi tness routine priorities in their 

lives. “It’s a woman’s tendency to take care 

of everyone else fi rst,” she said. “You need to 

take the time to take care of yourself.” 

No matter what the challenge, Mary 

Duprey has found new ways to harness 

her zeal for exercise, leading to success 

as an athlete and inspiration to others.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING & SNOWSHOEING 

PEAKED MOUNTAIN: 

A Short Winter 

Challenge 

eaked Mountain Pond has become 

a very popular fi shing, hiking, and 

camping destination, and of course 

it is an outstanding snowshoe destination. 

This gem of a lake in the shadow of its 

own rock-covered peak is most attractive. 

Peaked Mountain is the imposing cone 

that rises above it. When seen in profi le, 

it appears to be half spruce, half rock. It 

is the most distinctive of the rock-scarred 

mountains northwest of Thirteenth Lake, 

and it is the only one with a trail. The hike 

to the pond is a moderately diffi cult winter 

trek, and a scenic hike in its own right. 

The steepness of Peaked Mountain makes 

it more challenging, but not unattainable. 

Be wary of icy conditions, however. 

Getting There 

Access to the lake is by way of 

Thirteenth Lake Road, which leaves NY 

28 0.5 mile west of North River. It heads 

west and south, beside Thirteenth Brook, 

through Christian Hill, to a fork 3.5 miles 

from NY 28. The left, east, road goes to Old 

Farm Clearing and Garnet Hill Lodge, so 

take the right fork, Beach Road. It deadends 

at a parking lot located about 200 

yards from Thirteenth Lake. There are 

four designated campsites (with associated 

privies) between here and the lake.

The Trail 

Follow the main trail through the camping 

area to the shore. Here, winter hikers 

have two options: striking out across the 

frozen surface of Thirteenth Lake, or following 

the red-marked hiking trail to the 

right—a rugged route that is quite scenic 

but also quite rugged. Either way, the view 

up Thirteenth Lake to the mountainous 

interior of the Siamese Ponds Wilderness 

is one I can never pass without pausing to 

enjoy. It makes me wish I was born with 

four legs and fur, so that I might be permitted 

to take up permanent residence in 

a country such as that. 

If you are crossing the ice, look for 

the mouth of Peaked Mountain Brook. 

The hiking trail turns inland at this point, 

although from the lake you will need to 

make your own way to it. The trail leads 

uphill, close to the brook on its north side. 

Look for the red markers of a newly designated 

trail leading across the brook at the 

top of the fi rst cascade, 1 trail mile from 

the parking area; it leads to Hour Pond 

and its new lean-to. 

Continuing beside the brook, the trail 

climbs steeply at fi rst, then more gently, 

until at 0.8 mile from the lake you cross 

the brook on an ice bridge or by hopping 

rocks. Shortly beyond, you approach the

fi rst vly with views of Slide Mountain 

across it. The trail stays south of the fi rst 

vly, and then swings to the north side of 

the second beaver meadow. This zigzag is 

not shown on topographic maps, so be on 

the lookout if you are breaking your own 

trail through the winter woods. 

The trail leads around this meadow 

and back to the south side of the brook, 

where you continue to the third vly, over 

which you see Peaked Mountain for 

the fi rst time. The mountain’s “sudden” 

appearance is a highlight of the trip. The 

trail, sparsely marked, winds around huge 

boulders (one of which is tipped onto 

another to form a curious shelter) and up 

into the woods. 

The trail leads over a ridge to reach 

the outlet of Peaked Mountain Pond at 3

miles. White birches stand out from the 

hillside above, pointing to the soft grey 

rock outcrops that lead to the summit 

of Peaked Mountain. There is a campsite 

along the south shore with an outstanding 

view of the mountain. 

The continuing trail crosses the outlet 

of Peaked Mountain Pond, heading 

around the east shore through birch-fi lled 

woods. At the top of one rocky step, look 

for a side path leading left to a campsite 

by the water. The trail next points across 

a shallow draw at the northeast corner of 

the pond, where you head straight up the 

steep fl ank of the mountain in a northerly 

direction. 

Peaked Mountain is a short but challenging 

climb, especially in winter. You 

will definitely need snowshoes with 

aggressive crampons, for the way is steep 

and there will be several ledges to scramble 

over. In the summer, you will fi nd the 

tread to be eroded to bedrock in places. 

After scrambling around a rock ledge and 

pushing through a narrow tree-lined passage, 

you emerge on an outcrop with the 

fi rst view of the pond below. 

The trail now angles left, away from 

the cliffs, and zigzags back to the tip of the 

tiny cone that is the summit of the mountain, 

0.8 mile beyond the pond and 660 

feet above it. There are views west to the 

mountains beyond Indian Lake. From the 

edge of the cliff you look across to Slide 

Mountain and back along the long chain 

of vlies the trail follows along Peaked 

Mountain Brook. Gore Mountain fi lls the 

southeast horizon, while the High Peaks 

are visible beyond Ruby, Davis, and Casey 

mountains to the north.

WHITEFACE TURNS 50 CONT. FROM PG 1 

after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. After 

World War II, work resumed on Marble 

Mountain (a shoulder of Whiteface), 

near the Whiteface Mountain Veterans 

Memorial Highway, which attracted 

throngs of visitors in non-snow months 

to view one of America’s most spectacular 

panoramas from the summit. 

Once completed, the ski center had 

problems from the start. Its January 1949 

opening was postponed due to lack of snow 

and canceled again by rain in December. 

The Marble Mountain ski center fi nally 

began full-time operation in 1951 with 

fi ve rope tows and a 3,350-foot T-bar lift. 

Transportation by Sno-Cat or truck cost 

$1.15 per ride, rope tow rides were $1.50 per 

day, and the T-bar was $4 for 20 rides. Due 

to the unchallenging terrain and primitive 

operations, Lake Placid remained an afterthought 

destination to skiers and Marble 

Mountain was eventually abandoned. 

In 1957, Gov. Harriman, an avid skier 

who had built Sun Valley in the 1930s, 

signed a law authorizing development 

of the present Whiteface Mountain Ski 

Center. It opened in 1958 with two chair 

lifts and a vertical drop of 3,216 feet, the 

longest in the East. 

“I patrolled at Marble Mountain,” 

remembers 70-year-old Jim Hoyt of Lake 

Placid. “I moved to the new Whiteface 

Mountain Ski Center weeks before it 

opened to help prepare for safe skiing 

and I have patrolled there ever since,” said 

Jim. He was named “King of Winter” and 

received a lifetime achievement award 

at the 50th anniversary celebration on 

January 25, 2008. A trail to be called 

“Hoyt’s High” will be named in his honor 

with Whiteface’s expansion onto Lookout 

Mountain for the 2008-09 season. 

By the time the 1980 Winter Olympic 

Games were held in Lake Placid, there 

PHOTOS COURTESY OF ORDA/WHITEFACE 

was a big mountain and downhill skiing 

was king. The 3,009-meter course for the 

men’s downhill races was considered one 

of the best in world-class skiing competition. 

“Since then, Whiteface has hosted a 

wide variety of state, national and international 

events including World Cup alpine 

and freestyle skiing and snowboarding,” 

said Sandy Caligiore, spokesman for the 

Olympic Regional Development Authority. 

“The people of Lake Placid and 

Wilmington and all the leaders who 

worked so long and hard to bring big 

mountain skiing to the region are justifi 

ably proud of Whiteface Mountain and 

being the winter sports capital of the 

world,” Sandy said.

If alpine skiing had been an Olympic 

sport, it is doubtful Lake Placid would 

have hosted the 1932 Games. And if not 

for Whiteface, Lake Placid would not have 

hosted the 1980 Games and the current 

sports scene would not be what it is today. 

Happy anniversary Whiteface! Who 

knows, there may be another celebration 

in 2009 to honor the 60th anniversary of 

Whiteface at Marble Mountain.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Asian Longhorned 

Beetle Cooperative Eradication Program reports that moving 

firewood can spread tree-killing invasive diseases and insect pests 

like the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB). Already, the ALB is 

responsible for the loss of more than 42,000 trees in New York, 

New Jersey, and Illinois. 

Stop the Beetle! Buy and use firewood locally. 

Don’t transport it. 

And remember, officials survey trees for signs of beetle 

infestation year ’round and may be in your area. For answers 

concerning surveys, wood movement, or suspected signs 

of beetle infestation, call the Asian Longhorned Beetle 

Cooperative Eradication Program. 

In New York, call 1–877–STOP–ALB or 1–866–265–0301. 

In New Jersey and on Staten Island, call 1–732–815–4700. 

Log onto http://www.aphis.usda.gov/ALB. 

The Asian Longhorned Beetle Cooperative Eradication Program is comprised of 

the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and Forest Service, joined 

in New York by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, the 

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and the New York City 

Department of Parks and Recreation. The USDA agencies are joined in New Jersey 

by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, the New Jersey Department of 

Environmental Protection, and the City of Linden.
