Is the skiing at Whiteface worth the trek up to Lake Placid?

Oh heads up - I would avoid going in January because LP is hosting international collegiate games so it’s gonna be paaaccckkkeeddd. I usually go up there in February.

i love whiteface and lake placid is so cute. i’m on ikon now so won’t be going, but I really like it and think its worth the trek

I think Killington is more fun for about the same trek

whiteface is a bold name

IDK either....let's go check it out together

Depends on the weather. It's known as iceface for a reason.

Town is nice.

Lift tickets are well priced if you didn't buy epic or icon.

Depends on what else you're considering. IMO, just go to VT. Or if you want a day trip, Hunter.

Epic pass, epic lines.

I don't like the layout of Hunter. The mid mountain pinch point that is a skied out accident zone.

Haven’t been skiing in Lake Placid but it was stunning in leaf season at the start of fall. Cute town but book somewhere for dinner or eat early before 6, it gets busy and packed in town.
Killington is good for skiing but gets busy during peak ski season

Thanks, all - I’m toying with the idea of buying a house near The Ausable Club, which is only open during summer, and wanted to understand if having LP nearby was additive enough to make the house a compelling year-round proposition.

It seems like the answer is, kind of… maybe it won’t be Aspen caliber skiing, but probably would be good enough for a holiday weekend with friends where we ski a day and hang out at the house for a day or two.

It's fun east coast skiing.

I've enjoyed every trip. The old Olympic facilities also mean bobsled, ice skating ski jumping (if you dare) and more.

What comp can we expect to target after 2 YOE? I’m not miserable in consulting but don’t think I get paid enough. With my promotion in a month, I’ll be hitting 100k and I want to only leave if I can get 110k or more (going for strategy, PM, and a few startup roles). Is that realistic? whens the best time to leave for max comp in the long term?

Hi there - my company is returning to office next month. Hybrid to begin before they ramp up to 5 days back in office by end of year.

I think the fact they want to bring us back 5 days is disrespectful considering how much work we’ve put in remotely over the last year. Not to mention productivity studies say people who WFH (and have no kids) are substantially more productive.

All that being said, does anyone work at a FinTech/Tech company whose RTTO policy is more flexible? Looking to leave
