Lake Placid POV

The bobsled track originally built in Lake Placid was ranked among the most difficult in the world, hosting the Olympic Winter Games in 1932 and 1980. However, a new combination course was built to replace the aging Olympic bobsled track. Completed in 2000, the Lake Placid Combination Track is considered one of the most technically demanding tracks for sliders of all disciplines, featuring 20 challenging curves. It is considered the home track of many of the nation’s top sliders in the sports of bobsled, skeleton and luge. The track is a regular host of World Cup and other sliding competitions, last hosting the Bobsled & Skeleton World Championships in 2012.
