Skyride Experience

Take in the Olympic Jumping Complex, no ski jumping required!

The Skyride Experience offers a unique and unforgettable way to visit the Olympic Jumping Complex and take in stunning views of Lake Placid. Your journey begins with a scenic gondola ride, offering a bird’s-eye view of the landing hill as you travel up to the base of the ski jumps. From there, a short walk leads you to an elevator that takes you to the top of the HS128-meter jump. At the top, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Placid and the Adirondack Mountains and step onto the outdoor observation deck and get a unique perspective of what it’s like to jump the HS128. 

After returning to the base of the ski jumps, step onto the coach’s deck for an up-close look at the HS100 and HS128 jumps. You’ll see where athletes transition from frost rail to flight and gain a unique perspective on this Olympic sport.

Even better? The Skyride Experience is included with the Lake Placid Legacy Sites Passport, a savings tool for those looking to experience all of the Lake Placid Legacy Sites.
