美国东部滑雪胜地--普莱西德湖的美丽秋色

(2016-12-17 18:05:57) 下一个


普莱西德湖(Lake Placid)是位于纽约上州Adirondack山脉中的一个小村子,人口仅有2500人。因为在1932年和1980年举办过二届冬季奥运会而得名。另外于2000年还举办过唯一的一届冬季世界友好运动会。因此普莱西德湖具备了进行各项冬季体育运动项目的完美设施。在村里有一座设备先进的现代化奥林匹克滑冰馆。二届奥运会的所有速度滑冰,花样滑冰和冰球的赛事都在此举行。1980年冬奥会发生了二件大事,至今难忘。一是美国速滑运动员埃里可.海登(Eric Heiden)一人夺得了从500米至10000米的全部五项个人速滑项目的金牌,史无先例,这一壮举至今无人打破。二是苏联冰球队在当时是一巨无霸。获得了自1956年来的5届奥运金牌。美国队是一支由在学大学生组成的年轻球队,在与苏联队的决赛中比分三度落后,经过顽强奋战,最终以4:3反败为胜,轰动全美国,连总统都打来电话祝贺。


在离普莱西德湖13英里的白脸山(Whiteface Mountain)是美东地区最著名的高山滑雪场地。海拔1483米,高驾索道垂直的升高达到1050米,是美东之最。同时白脸山还是唯一的一座从山底至山顶全程通公路的高山。在山顶一览美丽的山光水色,风景美不胜收。
