Goodwill Games

Watch "the winter sports capital of the world" come alive as some of the world's finest athletes descend upon the Village of Lake Placid, NY, for the first-ever Winter Goodwill Games from February 17-20, 2000 (opening celebration on the 16th).

Rich in sporting history, as host of the 1932 and 1980 Olympic Games, and located in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains, Lake Placid is a small mountain village that exists in perfect harmony with the pristine natural surroundings. There are no traffic jams, strip shopping malls, or tangles of flickering neon. Instead the streets are lined with unique shops, a wide variety of lodging properties, delightful restaurants, brewpubs, and nightclubs.
