A TOUCH OF OLYMPIC CLASS

There's a pocket of warmth in Lake Placid, NY, at the family-owned Mirror Lake Inn. The 128-room, Four-Diamond inn claims a corner of Lake Placid's Mirror Lake, a five-hour drive from New York City or two-hour drive from the airport in Burlington, VT. Opened in the 1920s, the inn was bought in 1976 by Ed and Lisa Weibrecht, who, while carrying on many of the inn's traditions, have modernized and expanded the facilities.
