Product Description

While not one of the "high" peaks of the Adirondacks, Whiteface Mountain is the easiest to summit (you can drive most of the way and take an elevator the rest), and contains the range's most obvious evidence of alpine glaciers---a cirque and several arretes. Being mere miles from Lake Placid, the ski resort on the Eastern slope hosted part of the 1980 Winter Olympics, and now provides the greatest continuous vertical drop in eastern North America. Four separate trailheads lead to the summit, and in the summer the trails can get busy. From the top, you can see Lake Champlain to the East, many of the Adirondack's high peak to the South, and on a very clear day, Mt. Royal to the North.

This map includes all of Whiteface and Little Whiteface, Esther Mountain, Lookout Mountain, all of the ski area to the East, up the Ausable River through Wilmington Notch to Witch Pond and Copperas Pond, a detailed Sunrise Notch and Moss Cliff to the South, Barrel Bay on West Lake Placid on the Southwest, half of Eagle Eyrie, Baldwin Hill, and up to Robertson Hill on the Northwest slope.

"One does not climb to attain enlightenment, rather one climbs because he is enlightened."

TinyMtn models are most affordable in the "Sandstone" and "White Strong and Flexible" materials. This model is in "Sandstone," which is a glued gypsum material. When you receive the model it will be ready for display, though it may smell funny and need some time to air out. "Sandstone" models are much more brittle than "White Strong and Flexible" models, but feel more like light stone. Do not soak it in water, though you can safely seal it with Polycrylic or a similar water-based clear spray sealant. Read more about this popular material here.

These models have been optimized for the above materials, and are not offered in other materials for strength or cost reasons. If you need one in another material, please contact us and we'll try to accommodate your request.
