ROOST employees joined representatives from ORDA and several local lodging properties last week to promote the Lake Placid region and Whiteface Mountain at Canada’s biggest ski/snowboard show. The group joined more than 130 vendors at the four-day Toronto Snow Show to talk to skiers and snowboarders getting hyped for the coming snow season. Our representatives interacted with more than 500 people, giving them information about the many lodging, dining, and activity options in and around Lake Placid and Whiteface, as well as giving free beer samples, showing videos of the area and giving them a photo opportunity in a real bobsled. Titus Mountain Family Ski Center also set up a booth at the Snow Show to promote its family-friendly destination close to the Canadian border.
