Lake Placid Hosting World Cup Cross-Country Finals
And a Festival of Nordic Sport
By Olympic Regional Development Authority
In a village where Olympic history lives on nearly every street corner, the world’s best cross-country skiers are preparing to write another chapter.
The Stifel Lake Placid World Cup Finals, March 19-22, will bring the FIS Cross-Country World Cup season to a dramatic close at Mt Van Hoevenberg. Crystal Globes will be awarded. Overall titles may be decided by seconds. And some of the sport’s biggest names – including American icon Jessie Diggins – are expected to take their final World Cup laps.
But this event is more than a series of elite races. In partnership with US Ski & Snowboard, the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS), New England Nordic Ski Association, and the 10th Mountain Division, the Olympic Regional Development Authority has designed a weeklong winter sports festival celebrating Nordic culture, the region’s Olympic legacy, and the next generation of athletes.
For Lake Placid, host of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics, and a regular stop on the international competition circuit, the finals represent both a return to global spotlight and a reaffirmation of its place at the heart of American winter sport.
