Whiteface Mountain ski area on Sunday, opened up the new Little Whiteface Chair opened to the public for the first time. The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports its lift line runs directly up Mountain Run, a black diamond trail that drops almost 1,000 feet in less than half a mile. At the top of Mountain Run, the chairlift has a mid-station, where skiers and riders have the option to unload for Mountain Run and the other steeps that parallel it, or continue on the chairlift to the summit of Little Whiteface, where the chair tracks near the top of the ridgeline above the gondola.
