美國東部滑雪勝地--普萊西德湖的美麗秋色

普萊西德湖（Lake Placid)是位於紐約上州Adirondack山脈中的一個小村子，人口僅有2500人。因為在1932年和1980年舉辦過二屆冬季奧運會而得名。另外於2000年還舉辦過唯一的一屆冬季世界友好運動會。因此普萊西德湖具備了進行各項冬季體育運動項目的完美設施。在村裏有一座設備先進的現代化奧林匹克滑冰館。二屆奧運會的所有速度滑冰，花樣滑冰和冰球的賽事都在此舉行。1980年冬奧會發生了二件大事，至今難忘。一是美國速滑運動員埃裏可.海登（Eric Heiden)一人奪得了從500米至10000米的全部五項個人速滑項目的金牌，史無先例，這一壯舉至今無人打破。二是蘇聯冰球隊在當時是一巨無霸。獲得了自1956年來的5屆奧運金牌。美國隊是一支由在學大學生組成的年輕球隊，在與蘇聯隊的決賽中比分三度落後，經過頑強奮戰，最終以4：3反敗為勝，轟動全美國，連總統都打來電話祝賀。

在離普萊西德湖13英裏的白臉山（Whiteface Mountain)是美東地區最著名的高山滑雪場地。海拔1483米，高駕索道垂直的升高達到1050米，是美東之最。同時白臉山還是唯一的一座從山底至山頂全程通公路的高山。在山頂一覽美麗的山光水色，風景美不勝收。
