Whiteface Expanding, Watching Out For Bicknell's Thrush
By J.D. O'Connor June 12, 2006
New York state's Whiteface Mountain Ski Center near Lake Placid has unveiled plans for expansion.
The resort filed plans with the state to construct new trails, a triple-chairlift and snowmaking on the eastern side of the mountain, one of the Northeast's top-rated ski areas.
Narrow glade trails are part of the proposal, and the new trails on the upper part of the mountain would be carved to reach out to intermediate skiers on the largely expert upper reaches, according to documents filed with the state.
Whiteface is also working with environmental organizations in order to not disturb the habitat of migratory birds such as the Bicknell's Thrush, that inhabit spruce trees in the upper reaches of the mountain. Whiteface officials didn't post a timetable for the proposed expansion.
