The Cloudsplitter Gondola is a detachable eight-person gondola lift located at Whiteface Mountain. The lift runs from the main base area, up to the summit of Little Whiteface. From the top of the lift, skiers and riders can access all of Little Whiteface's terrain, which mainly comprises of advanced trails but also includes a couple of intermediate trails, which eventually lead to the lower mountain trails, which tend to be easier. The lift features an impressive lift line it runs up, including a large breakover at the top. and, at serving just over 2,400 feet of vertical, the lift serves the most vertical of any single-stage lift in the East. The gondola is also open for scenic rides in both the winter and summer seasons. The lift was manufactured by Doppelmayr and installed at the resort in 1999, creating the first access to the summit of Little Whiteface directly from the base area.
Whiteface Mountain is a ski area located in Wilmington, New York. The ski area is located in the Adirondacks, in Northern Essex County, about a 15-minute drive northeast of Lake Placid. The resort is primarily known for its advanced terrain, of which plenty can be found off of Little Whiteface with some also running off the summit and Lookout chairs, but also features an extensive beginner area at the Bear Den base area and has plenty of intermediate trails mixed in between. The mountain is also home to The Slides, a group of rarely opened extreme lines, which is known as some of the most challenging terrain in the East and is located just a quick hike up from the top of the Summit Quad chairlift. The mountain is also known for holding many prestigious ski races, most notably during the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics, held in Lake Placid, for which Whiteface hosted all of the alpine skiing events. In the present, the ski area still holds many races and will hold the alpine skiing events for the upcoming 2023 Winter World University Games, which is being held in Lake Placid. The ski area is owned by the Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA), a branch of the New York State government. The ski area is a member of the Ski 3 season pass, which also includes access to the other two ORDA run resorts: Gore and Belleayre.
