Lake Placid, New York, on the Adirondack Mountains, has been the host to two Winter Olympic Games (1932 and 1980).

Lake Placid was the first Winter Olympic Games to use artificial snow (1980) and Lake Placid is only one of the three cities to host two Winter Olympics (St. Moritz, Switzerland (1928/1948), and Innsbruck, Austria (1964/1976)). Lake Placid is also the only Olympic games ever to have a single person win 5 gold medals in individual events (Eric Heiden).
