The Slides at the Whiteface Mountain Ski Area in Wilmington have opened several times this year. Pictured, a skier enters the ungroomed terrain located at the summit on Friday after getting the go-ahead from a member of the ski patrol. The Slides are a “double black diamond” skill level for expert skiers only. For more information on the Slides and Whiteface, visit www.whiteface.com or call 518-946-2223.
