About Lake Placid Ski and Board
Lake Placid Ski and Board is the town's dedicated ski and snowboard shop, located at 2532 Main Street in downtown Lake Placid just minutes from Whiteface Mountain. The shop serves as a one-stop destination for winter sports gear — combining a full retail floor of skis, snowboards, boots, bindings, and apparel with a comprehensive rental fleet and expert tuning services.
Their rental programme offers men's, women's, and children's ski and snowboard packages at competitive daily, weekend, weekly, and season-long rates. For more advanced skiers and riders, a higher-end demo fleet is available featuring current-model equipment from leading brands. The shop also runs a full-service tuning and repair workshop, handling everything from edge sharpening and base repair to binding mounting and boot fitting, all done in-house by experienced technicians.
What makes Lake Placid Ski and Board a standout is its location on Main Street — right in the walkable centre of the village — and its deep focus on ski and snowboard gear rather than trying to be a general outdoor store. The staff are dedicated winter sports enthusiasts who ride Whiteface regularly, so they can recommend the right setup for the mountain's varied terrain and often icy conditions. It's the kind of local shop where regulars drop in for a quick tune and end up staying for a gear conversation.
