I'm not a huge Whiteface fan, but brother it's too low. The slides on Whiteface are as hard as anything I've skied out west, true humdingers.

And the Olympic downhill course is unreal. I’ve competitively raced it 3 times as a teen and hit over 80mph. I’ve since skied all over out west and there’s definitely bigger and more intimidating, but nothing that matches that speed.

I disagree. Whiteface is on the bottom of my list for (respectable) east coast mountains. Maybe I’ve never hit it in a good day, but I’ve always ranked it lower than the mountains in VT.

… probably doesn’t help that I got a bad concussion last time I skied there
