The New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) was originally created by the New York State legislature (Article 8, Title 28, NYS Public Authorities Law) to manage the facilities used during the 1980 Olympic Winter Games at Lake Placid. State and local governments cooperatively created a long-term solution to protect the public's investment in the Lake Placid Olympic facilities through the establishment of ORDA.Today, ORDA operates Whiteface Mountain ski area located in the Town of Wilmington, just 15 minutes outside the Village of Lake Placid; Gore Mountain ski area located in North Creek, New York — 80 miles north of Albany; Belleayre Mountain located in Highmount, NY – 80 miles south of Albany; as well as the Olympic Center; the Olympic Jumping Complex and Olympic Sports Complex – all located in Lake Placid. As host to international and national championships, the Authority has brought millions of athletes and spectators to the regions it serves. ORDA has seen unparalleled assistance and support of its operation from both Albany and the State of New York.New York State, the Department of Economic Development and our local elected officials have developed an alliance, allowing ORDA and its surrounding communities, to remain at the forefront of winter and summer sports training, competition, recreation, and tourism by investing in the modernization of these facilities. In turn, this allows us to become a strong partner with local and regional businesses in supporting and building the tourism industry throughout the State.To find out more about New York and to do business with its many agencies, log on to www.ny.gov.For general tourism information on locations in New York state, log on to www.iloveny.com.
